New York Times: U.N. examines 206 companies...stoking fears of boycotts against companies doing business with Israel.   Carl, The New York Times recently reported that the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is investigating hundreds of companies that are doing business with Israel. Now the U.N. says it plans to name them, and create a “blacklist” of American companies that could be targeted by foreign boycotts. Israel has long been targeted by the pernicious Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Together, we must continue the fight to protect Israel from economic warfare and American companies legally doing business with the Jewish state. We need 3,000 supporters to help urge Congress to pass the Israel Anti-Boycott Act to combat the BDS movement against Israel and protect American businesses. Take action now. We need 3,000 pro-Israel supporters to take action before midnight! The United Nations and other international governmental organizations have long singled out Israel with unfair criticism and have led efforts to isolate the Jewish state politically and economically. The Israel Anti-Boycott Act would specifically expand existing U.S. anti-boycott laws to include international governmental organizations like the U.N. and the European Union. Without this law, and with the latest attempts from the U.N. to blacklist American companies doing business with Israel, we could see a major surge in BDS actions against Israel. We cannot afford to let that happen. That’s why we need your voice to send a strong message to Congress to pass the Israel Anti-Boycott Act now.   Help us send 3,000 messages to Congress and stand with Israel.
