Will US anti-BDS laws cause financial meltdown for Ben & Jerry’s and Unilever?

JNS: The recent announcement that Ben & Jerry’s plans to end its sale of ice-cream in “occupied Palestinian territory,” primarily Judea and Samaria as well as eastern Jerusalem, has stirred a fierce reaction, including potential legal and financial repercussions for the ice-cream maker and its parent company Unilever.

“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 12:3

Brooke Goldstein, executive director of the Lawfare Project and co-founder of the End Jew Hatred movement, told JNS that the sheer size of Unilever opens it up to possible significant financial penalties.

“By virtue of its wayward subsidiary, Unilever—a massive international conglomerate—risks potentially crushing financial consequences in terms of its ability to receive investments from, or do business with, the majority of U.S. states,” she said.

Just hours after the announcement, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan, in coordination with Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, sent a letter to 35 governors of American states that have laws against the BDS movement targeting Israel. Read More

Israeli Cabinet okays green pass, exempts children under 12

JPost: Starting next Thursday, July 29, gatherings with more than 100 participants will start functioning under the Green Pass outline, but children under 12 will be exempt, the coronavirus cabinet decided Thursday.

In addition, the ministers said the UK, Turkey, Cyprus and Georgia will be added to the list of countries under the travel ban, subject to the approval of the full government.

“ … Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Rev. 13:4

The Health Ministry released new data showing that the vaccine remains 91% effective against severe cases of COVID-19, and only two mild heart inflammation cases occurred among children aged 12 to 15.

Regarding the Green Pass system for Israelis above the age of 12, and therefore eligible for a vaccine, access to cultural and sports venues, gyms, restaurants and dining halls, conferences, tourist attractions and houses of worship will be reserved only for people who are fully vaccinated, have recovered or have had a negative test performed in the previous 72 hours.
For the first few days, the unvaccinated will be able to undergo a test for free; after August 8, they will have to do it at their own expense. Read More

Obama Ethics Chief Smacks Biden Admin For Claim They Have ‘Highest Ethical Standards’ Of Any Admin Ever

Breitbart: Walter Shaub, the former director of Obama’s Office of Government Ethics, slammed the Biden administration on Thursday over its repeated claims that it has established the “highest ethical standards of any administration in American history” by pointing out the continued controversy surrounding the selling of Hunter Biden’s suspiciously high-priced artwork.

 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32

The administration claimed in a statement to Fox News that the deal that it helped craft surrounding the process of how Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, will be allowed to sell his art is a “prime example” of the Biden “family’s commitment to rigorous processes.”

“I certainly hope this is not a ‘prime example’ of the rigorous ethics because this is not rigorous. At some point, they have got to answer questions without deflecting by resorting to this increasingly tired talking point that they have the highest ethics of any administration,” Shaub said. “They can start by sharing this agreement they negotiated with the art dealer. Then, they can pledge to tell us about any contacts the administration has with any known buyers.”

Shaub added, “If they have time, they can tell us why they think it’s appropriate to profit off the presidency after complaining about the last guy doing exactly that.” Read More

‘Pingdemic’ Triggers Widespread Panic Hoarding At UK Supermarkets

Zero Hedge: Britain’s supermarkets are struggling to ensure adequate food supply after reports of panic hoarding due to what the British press calls “ping-demic” – a reference to being “pinged” by the NHS test-and-trace system.

“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

We noted on Monday that ping-demic was likely to “lead to food shortages,” and that is precisely what is happening today.

The Independent reports UK’s largest supermarkets are experiencing shortages after the number of people getting “pinged” on the NHS Test and triggered mass confusion. Read More

The ping-demic comes after Prime Minister Boris Johnson lifted the remaining COVID-linked restrictions on movement and business at midnight on Monday, finally allowing people to move about more or less freely, even as new COVID cases are climbing in the UK and much of the EU.

A meat industry body warned that Britain’s food supply chains are on the cusp of “failing” due to labor shortages.

British supermarket Iceland had to close several stores in recent weeks due to staff shortages. Read More

Why ‘the pandemic of the unvaccinated’ is a lie

LifeSite News: For days, the mainstream media have been playing a loop of reports that 99% of COVID-19 deaths are among unvaccinated people. Besides there being no data —there’s actually evidence that the opposite is true – it’s become the basis for a stream of dehumanizing propaganda that labels half of the American adult population and most children who haven’t taken experimental COVID-19 shots as “variant factories” and “incubators” of disease.

“A fool’s mouth is his destruction,
And his lips are the snare of his soul.” Proverbs 18:7

It’s frighteningly similar to early Nazi propaganda that referred to “filthy Jews” as spreaders of disease and stirred up irrational fear and hatred of millions of people in German society. It was a government message used to justify quarantining a people, starving them, and then annihilating them.

“Look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated – and they’re killing people,” Joe Biden told reporters on Friday.

Rochelle Walensky, Director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said something similar earlier that day: “This is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated.”

A lot of people have wanted to take off their masks for a long time and they oppose masking children, too. They’ve been forced to cover their faces by ‘freedom of choicers’ like Sebelius, to accommodate their neuroses and leftist desire to control others’ behavior, especially if isn’t sexually deviant or morally abhorrent behavior.

Two days later, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, announced that “99.5% of deaths right now from COVID-19 in our country are happening in the unvaccinated.” The only solution, he said, was for everyone to get vaccinated.

It was either a mantra – or an obvious orchestrated government propaganda program to make people take the shots. The three billion-dollar marketing program hadn’t appealed to 51% of Americans. The “filthy unvaccinated” storyline is useful for coercing those who don’t want the new drug. It’s a violation of the principles of the Nuremberg Code which was put in place after the human rights violations of Nazi Germany to protect people from taking part in medical experiments against their will. Since all coronavirus vaccines currently available in the U.S. are still in clinical trials for at least another year, they are experimental by definition. Read More

As Taliban Advances, Afghan Military Overhauls War Strategy to Limit Losses

Algemeiner: Reeling from a surge in battlefield losses, Afghanistan’s military is overhauling its war strategy against the Taliban to concentrate forces around the most critical areas like Kabul and other cities, border crossings and vital infrastructure, Afghan and US officials say.

“Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.” Revelation 16:12

The politically perilous strategy will inevitably cede territory to Taliban insurgents. But officials say it appears to be a militarily necessity as over-stretched Afghan troops try to prevent the loss of provincial capitals, which could deeply fracture the country.

Taliban insurgents are gaining control of more and more territory, which the Pentagon estimated on Wednesday now extends to over half of half Afghanistan’s district centers. The Taliban are also putting pressure on the outskirts of half of the provincial capitals, trying to isolate them.

US intelligence assessments have warned that the Afghan government could fall in as little as six months, US officials told Reuters. Read More

NFL Teams With Unvax’d Players To Forfeit Games, Incur Financial Liability During Outbreaks

Zero Hedge: The NFL has notified clubs that if there’s a COVID outbreak among unvaccinated players, teams who can’t reschedule during the 18-week season will forfeit the match, be credited with a loss, and potentially incur financial liability and discipline from the commissioner.

“A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.” Proverbs 6:19

According to the NFL Network‘s Tom Pelissero, the league intends to play its entire 272-game schedule over 18 weeks, and ‘does not anticipate adding a ’19th week’ to accommodate games that cannot be rescheduled within the current 18 weeks of the regular season.”

DeSantis to Biden on Cuba: ‘Step Up And Be On The Side Of Freedom’

PJ Media: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis challenged President Joe Biden during a Fox News town hall on Wednesday night, at roughly the same time that Biden had a town hall on CNN, to step up and be on the side of freedom by supporting the Cuban people’s quest for freedom.

“You said, while the people of Cuba are showing incredible courage, the Biden administration said the exact words that I believe are showing cowardice,” Fox News host Sean Hannity said. “What should Joe Biden be doing?”

“Step up and be on the side of freedom,” DeSantis responded. “The Internet access is something we have the capability of doing. We have companies in the U.S. that want to do it, but they need the OK of the federal government. He has it within his authority to do that. He could make it happen.”

“And if he’s willing to do that, I think it will make a positive difference,” he continued. “As it stands now, he’s basically just sitting there doing nothing. He’s leaving these folks out to dry. And what’s going to end up happening, if they’re — they don’t get any type of assistance, the regime will continue to clamp down, and they will eventually stamp this out, and then they will remain even stronger in power. And that will be a huge blow to the cause of freedom.”

Biden Downplays Inflation, Predicts Businesses Will Be In ‘Bind’ Over Labor Shortages, Then Has Brain Freeze

Zero Hedge: President Joe Biden waved off long-term inflation concerns on Wednesday, telling a CNN town hall in Cincinnati that it won’t persist as the economy emerges from the pandemic.

There will be near-term inflation” because the economy is recovering, he said, adding that ‘most economists’ think “it’s highly unlikely that it’s going to be long-term inflation that’s going to get out of hand.”

Republicans, meanwhile, largely blame Biden and Democrats for the labor shortages at restaurants and other low-wage businesses because overly-generous pandemic stimulus has removed incentives to get back to work. Biden, in response, suggests these low-margin businesses should simply pay people more – calling rising wages a “feature’ of his economic plans. Read More
