Defending SodaStream during a recent interview, Scarlett Johansson states she doesn’t see the problem in the seltzer-maker’s operations in a West Bank settlement. Johansson endorsed the product in a highly-controversial Super Bowl ad last month. But regarding the legality of Israeli settlements in Occupied Palestine, she says: ”that’s very easily debatable ….there’s no right side or wrong side leaning on this issue.” And Johansson answered with a definitive “No” when Guardian reporter, author Carole Cadwalladr, suggested perhaps she’d “unwittingly inserted herself ” into the conflict, and this was all some sort of mistake. It’s a startling conversation. Cadwalladr’s article, daring in its purview, is titled Scarlett Johansson interview: ‘I would way rather not have middle ground’, in reference to the actress’s line on the mixed audience reaction after a premier viewing of her new sci fi flick “Under the Skin” at the Venice Film Festival .
