Donald Trump’s treatment of women and workers continues to receive media scrutiny this week as one union calls for a national boycott of all the real estate mogul’s businesses.

Trump's crimes? He apparently treats women poorly, and his call to enforce our immigration laws seems to mean he's a racist.
Coincidentally, many people have been calling for a boycott of Israel. What are their crimes?
The boycott is grounded firmly in the well documented facts of Israeli policies. The US State Department speaks of "institutional discrimination" faced by Palestinian citizens, while Human Rights Watch says Israel maintains a "two-tier system" in the West Bank. From the "discriminatory" control and distribution of water resources (Amnesty International) to the "forced transfer of the native population" (European Union), it is no wonder that the UN's Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination has reported Israel as violating prohibitions against "racial segregation and apartheid".
Illegal settlements are used to colonize the West Bank, Palestinians in Gaza are blockaded and bombed, Palestinians in East Jerusalem have their homes demolished - and all the while, of course, expelled Palestinian refugees just a few miles from their properties are still prevented from returning home on the basis they are not Jews.

While boycotting Trump is being encouraged, boycotting Israel is being defined as "antisemitic" and therefore strongly discouraged.
Does that make sense to you?
