A reverse boycott?

- BY NATHAN JEFFAY

ISRAELI RIGHT-WINGERS are expected to start boycotting businesses that steer clear of settlement­s after new legislatio­n has forced companies to state clearly if their standard delivery and technical services are unavailabl­e to Jews who live beyond the Green Line.

Shuli Mualem of the Jewish Home party said she initiated the amendment because settlers were being “treated like second-class citizens” and told that such services cannot be provided to them.

Settlers will be able to demand £2,000 in compensati­on if companies have restrictio­ns on services to settlement­s that are not clearly outlined.

The amendment gives the same rights to residents of remote Israeli communitie­s and Arab towns, causing some left-wing MKs to support it.
