Yet I don't want to be like the stupid Arabs who boycott all the good stuff like Disney, Nokia and Coca Cola and by that just make life less pleasant for themselves. They're so pathetic, such freaks. Maybe I don't wanna know which companies do what, if I boycott an otherwise good company (with nice products), I'm only bugging myself.

Which body shop do you mean? This one: http://www.thebodyshop.com/web/tbsgl

Or perhaps this one: http://www.the-body-shop.co.jp/top.html

Or this one: http://www.thegreatbodyshop.net/

At least they get free advertisements here!

We're not referring to companies that simply do business with Israel's enemies.

We're dealing here with one that openly flouts Israel's rights to security and sovereignity by promoting a very particular cause that endangers Israel's existance.

Please join us and show disdain for such organizations who show much more disdain for your own people.

Only for those who thrive on supporting Israel's destruction. So, are you one of those?

The attention to this issue has gotten almost everyone that I know to never set foot in a Body Shop store again.

i didn´t eat at McDo´s for years now... the last time i did i spend the next 3 days walking (not really walking... crouching would fit?) between my bed and the toilet... i hate this company. take a look at 'supersize me' i stood one hour in front of the McDo´s in Oslo while my friends took a breakfast *Brrrr*
...don´t know how their food is like now, they try to change their image here in germany through selling 'healthy food' (more salads and so on...)

back to topic, i never bought at the body shop as well...

the fast food in germany is really bad, i dont remember vomiting that much in my entire lifetime

Would I benefit from that in some way?

[Oh Jerusalem]

Would I benefit from that in some way?

You'll have to tell us.

Would you by products from a company that publicly state their support and contributions to an organization like Aryan Nation that states things such as:

There are good Jews and bad Jews. The good Jews are all 6 feet under and soon all Jews will be good Jews!

I see no difference except in method.

You're right, it's an important difference. No matter what I want, I won't even be able to walk by the Body shop (let alone buy there) without thinking of this. Luckily there are enough other good products, like Ahava.

McDonalds is actually quite tasty and I like their pancake breakfasts. I spent 1 month in Germany and boy oh boy; give me McDonalds anytime over those Schweinschnitzels and kartofeln potatoes potatoes potatoes. Never saw one vegetable.

WTF??
If that was your diet for one month over here, why did you come?
You'd have to be held hostage to get such unbalanced nutrition.
So much vegetables in our kitchens. So many greengroceries and so many supermarkets here. And finally so many McD's here.
McD's statistics for Germany: 1,244 Restaurants totally serving 740.8 Mio. customers per year. (Source: www.mcdonalds.de)

I had a hard time locating this on their web site. What a bunch of British European bums.

[Semsem]

>> why did you come?<<

I went because my mother thought I should improve my German. We went to the same restaurant in the village and we never saw one vegetable.

A BS letter I received from those antisemites at THE BODY SHOPDear

Customer,

The Body Shop does not have a position on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.



The four winners of the 2002 Human Rights Award, including the National Committee for the Defence of the Rights of the Internally Displaced, were chosen by an independent jury, including international human rights experts, for being the best examples of peaceful grassroots activism on the issue of housing within a human rights framework, regardless of their religion, ethnicity or nationality.



The Body Shop supports the integrity of the Award jury and the robustness of the selection process but played no direct role in choosing the winners themselves, other than providing four of the 14 jury members, of which the Chair has always been an independent member.

The Body Shop is committed to the issue of human rights in a number of ways. For example, through The Body Shop Foundation, the company gives support to a broad range of small grassroots organisations, which are at the forefront of positive social and environmental change. This support is given for people of all races, gender, nationality and ethnic groups, without prejudice, and based on criteria including a project's demonstration of commitment, vision and sound management.





Best Regards, The Body Shop
