Stop London stores supporting Israeli massacres!
"It is totally destroyed, it looks like an earthquake has hit it.
. We have expert people here who have been in war zones and earthquakes
and they say they have never seen anything like it... Horrific beyond
belief"
- Terje Roed-Larsen, UN envoy to Palestine
Not content with his brutal repression of Palestinians resisting
Israel's military occupation of Palestinian land, the war-criminal
Ariel Sharon has ordered his troops into Palestinian towns to destroy
homes, with soldiers carrying out the most horrendous crimes from
summary executions, burying people alive, gang-raping women, looting,
and it is now beyond doubt that wholesale massacres have taken place.
Despite international condemnation our government has refused to
take any action, preferring to sit idly by while Israel continues
its slaughter of Palestinians. In the meantime business with Israel
goes on as ever before, with major London stores showing unflinching
support for Israel, making shopping Britons unwitting accessories
for Israel's murderous economy.
Come out and show your solidarity, boycott all stores that sell Israeli
goods. Some examples:
Marks & Spencer - purchasers of well over 50% of all Israel's retail
exports to the UK.
Lord Marcus Sieff, long-time Chairman of M&S, wrote that one of the
objectives of M&S is to aid the economic development of Israel (Management:
The Marks & Spencer Way,Weidenfield & Nicolson, 1990).
Starbucks - "The Palestinians aren't doing their job, they're not
stopping terrorism." CEO Howard Schultz's heartless reaction to
the recent Israeli atrocities.
Selfridges - After initially pulling illegal Israeli goods produced
on the illegal settlements in the Palestinian occupied territories,
the London department store spinelessly returned them after coming
under pressure from the Israeli government. With the full knowledge
that they are directly aiding Israel's military occupation, selling
goods misleadingly labelled and contravening EU customs and excise
laws, Selfridges has stuck by these settlement goods despite massive
protests.

This action was advertised a bit too late

There should be a really big action done to draw attention to the plight of the Palestinian people like a mass blockade of Oxford Street outside these stores!

Its all this single-issuism thats so effending. They don't see past their latest protest. Next month it will be something else. None of them has even met a Palestinian or an Israeli.
Yawn, Yawn...I bet none of them have even heard a AFA.
