TESCO VALUES?
20 pro-palestine protesters went anti-shopping at their local Tescos in Brighton (or maybe it was actually Hove, actually). Their mission- to expose Tesco's trade with Israel's and to protest against the store's selling of Israeli products that support the Zionist state's policies of colonisation and ethnic cleansing. Just to make things more fun, a handful of pro-Israel zionists turned up- ostensibly to show their support for Team Israel, but mainly to get aggy and try and disrupt the disruption by, er, causing more disruption.
After about an hour of picketing and leafleting (the cops failed to show up to push people around) the demonstrators called it a day. When Britain's largest and arguably most evil mega-chain of hypermarkets has had its worst sales performance in years, every little helps.
The problem here is money and that most people dont have much an want a cheap deal so the hyper market is ideal for them. Hopefully we can raise awareness during #OpBlackMarch and really hit these bastards Tesco, Walmart (ASDA) , Morrisons and Sainsburys!!
The Palestine-Israel conflict spills over into the cyber realm. Meanwhile a Palestinian woman from Hebron goes on hunger strike over settler attacks.
The Israeli boycott campaign (See SchNEWS 798) has struck again, as French multinational Veolia were thwarted in attempts to land a £485 million contract to provide waste treatment services in West London.
A 28 year old Palestinian got shot in the face by a tear gas canister during a weekly Anarchists against the wall demonstration held in the village of Nabi Saleh. He died the next day.
Weekly protest over illegal occupation in West Bank leads to clashes between protesters and the Israeli army. Two journalists arrested.
Neo-Cameron and William "send him to the" Hague are feeling flush following an easy victory in Libya. Now they want to take on Iran for shits and giggles.
The Isreali bulldozers are still undertaking numerous demolitions in Palestine. In this week alone, four family homes, four Bedouin tents containing 40 people, a mosque, a public meeting house, a restaurant, a shop, a car wash, a bee farm owned by a women's co operative, a sheep farm, numerous barns, an irrigation pond and a plant nursery have all been smashed to pieces.
It turns out there's another UK-based company linked to the Israeli Occupation whose name starts with EDO...
The Israel-Palestine conflict has been pretty high-tech this last week. After two boats, the Canadian Tahrir and the Irish Saoirse, were illegally captured in international waters by Israeli commandos, Anonymous shut down the IDF and Mossad websites.
