BOYCOTT ISRAEL CAMPAIGN

 

NGOs urge shoppers to rethink purchasing attitudes

The Daily Star (Lebanon)
August 6, 2002

Several nongovernmental organizations formed after Israel’s April incursions into Palestinian territories marked the newly declared National Boycott Day by urging shoppers throughout the country to consider the impact of their purchases on the Jewish state’s economy.

Under the umbrella Boycott Campaign of Israeli Supporters, over 200 activists, mostly students, flooded supermarket entrances Saturday, handing out brochures on four companies that fund and have major investments in Israel.

“We wanted to base our campaign on solid evidence, so we only published this information after we researched several sources and websites, including those of the Israeli Army,” said activist Samah Idriss.

“Next month, on Sept. 28, to commemorate the day the second intifada was born, we will declare Arab Boycott Day and hold a similar activity that targets four other companies that support Israel,” Idriss said.
