As Israelis, we can denounce the UN's hypocrisy and respond in a simple way: Look for supermarkets and product stores that are manufactured in the settlements - and buy them precisely.

The UN Commissioner of Human Rights yesterday defeated the human rights decision of tens of thousands of Palestinians and Jews working together, shoulder to shoulder, in industrial areas and joint workplaces throughout Judea and Samaria; in Rami Levi's supermarkets in Sha'ar Binyamin, in factories in the Red and Barkan industrial zones, And in hundreds of other businesses scattered around the heart of the historic homeland of the Jewish people.
Had the Honorable Commissioner in Chelet bothered herself to the "settlements" she would have found that, as she puts it: "There is serious concern for human rights violations", but not as a result of these "business activities", but as a result of the "blacklist" that she and her friends have published Yesterday.
Because, in fact, it is not a black list at all but a gold list. It is precisely in settlements, as well as in East Jerusalem (also "settlement", isn't it?) That there is coexistence between Jews and Arabs, and working and friendships are established. This is the true peace lab that the left and the hypocrites are so afraid of. It is the most successful instrument for deporting terrorism, violence, prejudice and hatred. Here lies the foundations for true peace and coexistence. Not in the corridors detached from the UN reality nor in the sealed rooms of Some of the ridiculous institutions he runs.
If, as a result of the decision yesterday, their livelihoods will be taxed for Palestinian workers, who will be sacked for ostracism and boycotts, the United Nations will be able to register another double standard in its name. They have nothing to do there? And Jews, but also serving the two communities in the common space of our lives here? They have nothing to do with it? They have finished fixing the world in places where people are executed without trial, torture people and silence opponents of the regime?
What, for example, about the human rights of the hundreds of thousands murdered by the assassins of Shar al-Assad in Syria? What about the human rights of megalomaniacs smuggled by Sultan Erdogan in Turkey? When was the last time the UN Human Rights Knights dealt with the political prisoners' rights in Putin's Russia or China? And with no executions in North Korea and elsewhere in the world? (Torture, rape, and execution without trial).
We, as Israelis, can denounce the hypocrisy but also respond in a simple way: Look for supermarkets, marketing chains and product stores in the settlements. Just buy them. Search the "blacklist" of businesses and companies operating in Judea and Samaria. They actually preferred them. Use their services. Buy from their products, share acquaintances and family with information. Encourage them to behave in the same way. In this way, everyone in his own corner undermined the moral basis of the "black list". Make it a gold list.
