BOYCOTT MARKS & SPENCER!

The campaign to boycott Marks & Spencer as a symbol of British corporate support for Zionism gives the broader struggle to isolate the Israeli state a focus for action. ‘Victory to the Intifada!’ has picketed the Marks & Spencer's at Marble Arch every Thursday for the last seven years

Marks & Spencer supports Israel financially and politically, today lobbying on its behalf via the British-Israel Chamber of Commerce. The early owners of Marks & Spencer were close political allies of the leader of Zionism, Chaim Weizmann, who became the first President of Israel in 1948. Together they helped draw up the 1917 Balfour Declaration which signaled British support for a Zionist state in Palestine. In 2004 Stuart Rose became the new Chief Executive of Marks & Spencer. In December of that year he was guest of honour alongside the Israeli ambassador to Britain and the British ambassador to Israel at the annual dinner of the British-Israel Chamber of Commerce. Marks & Spencer trade with Israel now amounts to approximately £240 million every year.

Against violence from both sides

I would come to this if it wasn't in support of the Intifada. Israel's actions are disgusting but Palestinians firing rockets into Israel is on a smaller scale also sick. Get some perspective.

moral equivalence in an occupation.

Nice work Ruby. Why don't those Palestinians defy history and adopt pacifism as they sit in their beseiged ghetto, being starved out of the refugee camps they've been in for 60 years? The fact that most Gazans have never committed violence against an Israeli probably escaped you......

scales of injustice


Pop by M&S fill trolley, unload some&then leave at the bottom put a leaflet

describing the situation. I have found this a vsuccessful non violent legal tactic. In fact filling the trolley or basket with lots of small items, try to pick nice items as hopefully any decent management will let staff have them free rather then spend ages putting them back. Isreal does about 240 millions worth of trade annually with Isreal& its CEO's have been key in political lobbying for Isreals illegal acts.

I was shopping once for some arts equipment,unfortunately the red paint spilt

everywhere in another shop on the way home, be shame if this happened somewhere in the furniture& luxury suits spring to mind
M& S CEOs are complicit in murder & genocide condemned by all UN security council including UK & British people except US government under corrupt undemocratic lobbying by companies like M&S,Israeli government support should be cut now,
or an international stabilasation force should be sent in.
100 palestinians for every Isreali, currently billions has to sent in from international community in aid to where Palestinians are forced to live & be attacked
