This is a cool boycott action video from a French supermarket. And here's an explanation of the green-shirted action in the video, for the
French-impaired (from an email that's being passed around):
French-impaired (from an email that's being passed around):
Mostly, they are talking about the products they
cleared from the shelves and that they come from Israel or even from the OPT,
but aren't identified as coming from Palestine. They also mention that many of
the agricultural products are grown using Palestinian water. And they trash
L'Oreal for doing business in Israel. They go after Israeli disposable diapers
and talk about how many babies the Israelis have killed. At the end, they
mention that they have asked Carrefours (big chain store in France) to stop
carrying Israeli products, but have gotten no response and that if they
continue to get no response, they're going to boycott Carrefours itself.
Nothing that translates into anything stealable. But it looked like fun. I
wonder if they just left the shopping carts full of Israeli products at the
checkout, like people did in the South in the 60s.
