McDonald's joins the BDS campaign
McDonald's confirmed to that it did not intend to open in Ariel and said that its refusal to operate in the West Bank "had always been the restaurant chain's policy," according to the report.
Nahmias said that there were other companies other than McDonald's, that he refused to name, that expressed concerns that opening in the mall would negatively impact their international business.
Rami Levy, Israeli supermarket magnate and one of the entrepreneurs behind the Ariel mall, did not refer specifically to McDonald's decision but he did tell the paper that businesses that refuse to open in the West Bank also harm the Arab population there.
"I do not accept that companies make business decisions that are informed by political considerations. The mall in Ariel is expected to employ Arab and Jewish workers from the area and to provide services for these populations" Levy said.
"This boycott is superfluous, and it harms the Arab population that it is supposedly trying to protect," he added.Indeed.

Quite!
I don't know what goes through the mind of those BDS people: they are revealing themselves to be anti-Arab (since they do not care how much they affect the lives of the Arabs living in Judea & Samaria). I believe they are starting to lose focus.
Anyway, do you know what they call the McDonald's in France? McMerde (McS***). As far as I am concerned, they could leave Israel entirely...nasty concept of food.
Cheers
Antizionism is intellectually and spiritually Holocaust Denial and Holocaust Denial is the Holocaust.
One opposes a racist ideology. The other opposes a factual event. They are nothing to do one another.
