Don’t buy goods from stolen lands!
Boycott Ahava Dead Sea Cosmetics
sold in the VIC Commissary!
Don’t let yourself be ‘soothed and smoothed’ by
Ahava’s creams
and cosmetics! Why? Because they are produced by a
firm
complicit in the theft of Palestinian land and
livelihoods.
Ahava is an Israeli company with a factory and visitor
centre in
the Mitzpe Shalem settlement near the Dead Sea. This
is one of
the illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied
Palestinian West
Bank.
Since 1967 Israel has moved almost half a million
settlers into the
Occupied Palestinian Territories, including East
Jerusalem, flouting
international law and dozens of United Nations
Resolutions and
forcing Palestinians off their land.
Ahava products are sold at its store in London and by
a range of
companies in shops around Great Britain and in other
countries,
including Austria.
Companies like Ahava profit from the Israeli
occupation and
Israel’s settlements, which are a major obstacle to a
just and
peaceful solution to the conflict.
As United Nations employees can you really go against
the
Resolutions of your organization? Therefore: boycott
Ahava!
Support the call to ban illegal Israeli settlement
produce!
Why does this matter to you as an ethical shopper?
