Actress Scarlett Johansson’s decision to represent SodaStream has already brought a shockwave of opposition– because SodaStream produces its seltzer-makers in a Jewish colony in the occupied West Bank. We’re expecting to see many creative responses to her decision between now and the Superbowl kickoff on Feb. 2. Here are two, to get the juices flowing.

I contacted Johansson’s publicist to see if she has made any statement about SodaStream’s factory located on a settlement in the occupied West Bank–or whether she is even aware of that. So far, I have not gotten a response.

Do you know why Israel is losing the PR war?

Because this is what our side produces for free. This is what happens when you have passion and justice on your side. You can spend as many dollars as you want.
You can bribe as many members of congress as you want to. I don’t care.
You will never get it that way, because you cannot buy it, it has to be organic. It has to be authentic.

And this is why Israel’s lobbyists are hopelessly lost and will remain so.
There are some things money cannot buy, and a clean conscience is part of that.
And the best art is the most pure art.

Compare Eli Valley to any right-wing comic(s) like LATMA.
It’s like peasants vs Stealth bombers.
It’s over before it even started.

I don’t have to see any others. The Scarlett Letter graphic wins hands down. Wow!!! Thanks, Annie.

Scarlett knows that the area some in recent history call the West Bank but was called Judea and Samaria way before that, is the area around Jerusalem and is also the land in which many of the stories in the Bible refer to. This makes this area part of the historic homeland of the Jewish people and not some invaded land. International law has yet to show impartiality when it comes to Jews and Israel, especially when Arab oil money pull so many strings.

Why not paint a swastika on her forehead?
That would put Mondoweiss in good company with the Manson Family.

Annie,

Thank you for bringing this discussion back to the main points. Much appreciated.
