As always there was another demonstration on Oxford St last night against Marks and Spencer - Britain's biggest corporate sponsor of Israeli terror. The demo was all the more important considering that this week Marks and Spencer has recieved an award by the British Intstitute for Trade in the Community (BITC) for it's responsibile impact on society. What hypocrisy! I guess the BITC didn't take into account M&S's impact on Palestinian society - house demolitions, brutal occupation, curfew, shootings of children. But then, where is the surprise? The bodies of the British State have always supported terror with a liberal and smiley face.
Also this week, in Manchester, M&S picketers were attacked by IDF soldiers. The dumb Zionists thought they would scare the protestors off but they stood firm and now they're facing assualt charges backed-up by dozens of eye witnesses. Whether it be this sort of attack by Zionist yobs or a pat on the back to Zionism by the British state we will fight thick and thin to expose the brutal reality of what Marks and Spencer is supporting.
Last nights picket demonstrated this point perfectly. There was effective street theatre and good engagement with the public - both from the British people and visitors alike. Our numbers were the best in weeks and the Zionist counter-demo, despite the return of it's leading hoodlums from Israel, could muster no more than a pathetic 5 people. A combination of increasing Israeli terror, the occupation of Iraq and the slow admittance of Western leaders that they have lied left, right and centre has had the effect of bringing more people to our side. It is imperative we build on the inroads we have made here and the implications for imperialism which the Palestinian intifada and Iraqi resistance has thrown up.
Boycott Marks and Spencer every Thursday 6-8pm! Marks and Spencer Oxford St (Marble Arch).
