Occupied Palestine – Palestinian civil society represented by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions National Committee (BNC), a wide coalition of the largest Palestinian mass organizations and trade unions, issued a strong condemnation of OECD’s decision yesterday to welcome Israel as a member of the organization at its ministerial meeting to take place on May 27-28.
"A BNC spokesperson commented: “Officials of OECD member states are perfectly aware that Israel does not comply with any of the objective criteria put forth. Yet, they have decided to single out Israel, elevate it above all these objective criteria, reward it for its defiance of the OECD, not to mention of international law, and make the entire accession process a farce.”

The sad thing is that one vote only could have denied Israel admission to the OECD but Turkey, a member, voted favorably.

Turkey is a close ally of Israel.
ReplyDeleteAll countries with high per capita income should be allowed into the OECD; including Thailand.
