Land Day protest against supporters of Israeli state
Oxford St, London. Sat 31 Mar 2018
People get ready to leave Marks & Spencer to protest outside other
stores which support Israel
They call for a boycott of Israeli goods. The worldwide campaign for
Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions - BDS -
is gaining support and Israel is seriously worried, lobbying governments
and trying to convince the world that
any criticism of Israeli state actions is antisemitic. The current
furore over antisemitism in the Labour Party, led
by right-wing members of Labour Friends of Israel is a part of this
campaign, orchestrated by the Israeli state.
The rolling picket protested outside Selfridges, which sells Israeli
wine, and then went on to Adidas
Adidas supports Israel's football team, which campaigners want expelled
from FIFA. Israel has prevented
Palestinian footballers from travelling to international games and
at least two Palestinian footballers have been
shot in the feet by Israeli soldiers while walking home from a training
session and will never play again.
'Zionism Is Racism - Free Palestine'
Carphone Warehouse sells some phones partly made in Israel
Boots sells two ranges of cosmetics made in Israel
A man comes to argue with the protesters, who tell him he doesn't
know what he is talking about and try to
tell him what really happens to Palestinians - but he doesn't beleive
them and is told to go away
