Boycott Israel Campaign 2012

Moga tahun 2012 tidak membuatkan kita untuk lupa untuk meneruskan tanggungjawab kita terhadap Palestin. Now, boycott campaign dah ade update baru. Juga ada berita-berita gembira di mana boycott yang kita lancarkan di seluruh dunia mula menapakkan hasil. Okay, entry kali ni mostly dia mbil dari inminds.

Boycott List

Kisah-kisah kejayaan boikot

Perasan tak some companies yang pernah dilisted tidak lagi berada dalam list di atas? Ini disebabkan mereka telah menarik balik sumbangan mereka terhadap Israel laknatullah itu. Sapekah mereka?

Disney

Disney, working with the Israeli embassy, was given 1.8 million dollars by Israel to promote Jerusalem as the capital of Israel at a special exhibition at its Epcot centre in Florida, strategically positioned so that every visitor to the centre would have to walk through the exhibition in order to reach the exit. Jerusalem is an illegally occupied Palestinian city and under international law can NEVER be the capital of Israel. The exhibition has since been removed so Disney is no longer on the boycott list. [Maka, dah boleh pegi Disneyland? Huhu~ tiket mahal sangat. Would you like to spend $100/day? Not me!]

Sara Lee

Sara Lee has divested its large stake in the Israeli textile giant Delta Galil so it along with its two dozen plus brands have all been removed from the boycott list. [Alhamdulillah, lepas ni takla lame betul pilih roti dekat Ralph... Mostly adelah Sara Lee punye roti!]

Nokia

Nokia Ventures Organization which had so heavily invested in Israel is no longer part of Nokia and is now called BlueRun Ventures and has many investors now. Note that Nokia is still one of its investors, but its stake in Israel is now no more prominent than countless other technology companies who are not on the boycott list, so Nokia has also been removed from the list.

Arsenal FC

Following a concerted campaign, Arsenal Football Club's contract with the Israeli Tourism board to promote Israel as the teams "official and exclusive travel destination" on its digital perimeter boards (to an estimated 700 million viewers in 198 countries) was not renewed. Subsequently, Arsenal FC has been removed from the boycott list. Note that Arsenal still runs 'Arsenal in the Galilee' coaching project in Israel.

Selfridges

Selfridges flagship store in London was picketed for stocking a range of settlement products including Ahava and soon a boycott of the store followed. It no longer sells Ahava Dead Sea products on its website, although it does advertise Estee Lauder Origins 'body scrubs' which include Dead Sea salts. As part of our strategy of a more focused boycott campaign where individual Israeli brands like Ahava are targeted, Selfridges in no longer on the boycott list.

Danone

Whilst Danone is still on the boycott list, it has gone through some changes and lost some of its famous brands and these are no longer on the boycott list. Jacob biscuits is now owned by United Biscuits; HP foods and Lea & Perrins is now owned by H.J. Heinz; and similarly Galbani and LU Biscuits are also no longer owned by Danone.

Mereka ini telah membuat investment yang bijak! Kita pula bagaimana?
