Israeli companies building Palestinian city are boycotting settlementsJewish Telegraphic Agency Twenty Israeli companies that are helping to build a new Palestinian city in the West Bank have agreed to boycott goods and services from Israeli settlements.  Artists impression of the city of Rawabi In the contract the companies signed concerning the construction of the city of Rawabi, near Ramallah, they agreed not to use raw materials, products or services originating in Israeli settlements in the West Bank, as well as in eastern Jerusalem or on the Golan Heights, which are also defined as settlements by the Palestinian Authority. "The Seller is prohibited from using and/or employing goods and/or services and/or resources manufactured and/or originating from Israeli settlements towards achieving any of the objectives of this Agreement, or in relation thereto,” the contract reportedly reads.
The Seller is prohibited from using and/or employing goods and/or services and/or resources manufactured and/or originating from Israeli settlements towards achieving any of the objectives of this Agreement, or in relation thereto.. It is the responsibility of the company to verify that the origin of all the goods and services is not in Israeli settlements
Contract Israeli companies signed "It is the responsibility of the company to verify that the origin of all the goods and services is not in Israeli settlements," the contract also states, according to Army Radio, which first reported the story on Tuesday. The P.A. earlier this year announced a boycott of products and services originating in the settlements, including areas annexed by Israel, and said that it will prohibit Palestinians from working in the settlements beginning sometime next year. Lawmaker Aryeh Eldad of the National Union has written a bill that would prevent Israeli companies that boycott settlement products from bidding for government tenders. His bill, which he will reportedly file in the Knesset this week, is supported by the Knesset Land of Israel lobby. Other organizations have asked the attorney general and the finance ministry to amend the law regulating government tenders to reflect the same position, according to reports. Sixty companies — Palestinian, Israeli and international — are working on building the new city; all have signed the contract, according to reports.

 [all videos (over 200)..] Featured MP3 Podcast  "Scalp bounties were the payment of a fee for proof of death of an Indian, any Indian, on a graduated scale. At the top of the scale they would pay the highest amount for proof of death by way of the production of a scalp, or bloody red skin - origin of the term 'red skins' - of an adult male Indian. Half that fee would be payed for proof of death by the same means of a adult female, quarter to be payed for proof of death of a child, child being defined as as a human being under 10 years of age down to and including a fetus.. every single colony on the east coast, every state of the Union and territory of the United States within the confines of the 48 contiguous states, had in place, in some period of its history, a scalp bounty - removed usually when there were no longer sufficient number of Indians left to kill to warrant its continuation..that's as absolutely clinical a genocidal policy as is possible to envision, they weren't interested in any particular Indians, any Indians would do and they would pay for proof of death - they wanted all of us dead."
