Scarlett Johansson-SodaStream

SodaStream is an Israeli company, whose spokeswoman is Scarlett Johansson, a famous Hollywood actress. The SodaStream factory is located in a Jerusalem suburb on the West Bank. This creates controversy and is a problem as to whether it is illegal for Israelis to operate a factory on Palestinian territory.
I believe it is not illegal for Israel to continue operating their factory. The West Bank is not officially owned by anyone, therefore there is no real reason that it should be illegal. It provides multiple jobs for Arabs in the area. The factory was also established before the boundaries of the West Bank were officially determined. A good reason to have a factory in vacant territory is that you don't have to pay taxes to that country. Israel has a right as an independent country to continue operating their factories in the West Bank as long as they don't pollute the environment and create unsafe living conditions for the Palestinian settlers in the area.
