The motion
That this House congratulates the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement and Oxfam whose pressure has led to the Israeli-owned SodaStream soft drinks company's decision to move its factory from the occupied West Bank; recalls that the actress Scarlet Johansson severed her links with Oxfam after being expensively hired by SodaStream; notes that the factory move comes after retailers across Europe and North America dropped the company's brands and that as a result its share price tumbled; and believes that the boycott movement's widespread support is forcing companies and governments to take positive action against Israel.
