Land Day protest against supporters of Israeli state

Oxford St, London. Sat 31 Mar 2018



 People get ready to leave Marks & Spencer to protest outside other stores which support Israel

 They call for a boycott of Israeli goods. The worldwide campaign for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions - BDS -

 is gaining support and Israel is seriously worried, lobbying governments and trying to convince the world that

 any criticism of Israeli state actions is antisemitic. The current furore over antisemitism in the Labour Party, led

 by right-wing members of Labour Friends of Israel is a part of this campaign, orchestrated by the Israeli state.

 The rolling picket protested outside Selfridges, which sells Israeli wine, and then went on to Adidas

 Adidas supports Israel's football team, which campaigners want expelled from FIFA. Israel has prevented

 Palestinian footballers from travelling to international games and at least two Palestinian footballers have been

 shot in the feet by Israeli soldiers while walking home from a training session and will never play again.

 'Zionism Is Racism - Free Palestine'

 

 Carphone Warehouse sells some phones partly made in Israel

 

 Boots sells two ranges of cosmetics made in Israel

 

 

 

 

 A man comes to argue with the protesters, who tell him he doesn't know what he is talking about and try to

 tell him what really happens to Palestinians - but he doesn't beleive them and is told to go away

 

 and the protest moves on
