THE BODY SHOP AND ISRAEL.



I missed this when it came out but it is worth reminding readers. Seems that the Body Shop provides charitable donations to an oraganisation dedicated to ensuring the "right of return" to "Palestinians"to Israel. The tousled haired Dame Anita Roddick also believes the US President is "a war criminal." Nice.



Writing in the thinkers' favourite publication, "The American Thinker" Thomas Lifson asks;



"The Body Shop should explain to its upscale and nature-loving customers worldwide why George Bush is implicitly likened to the Nazis, and why the Jewish State of Israel, and Israel alone, should be subjected to a rule granting citizenship to people who have never set foot within its borders, and most of whom wish to drastically alter the nature of its polity and society.

A company which condemns the testing of cosmetic products on animals somehow finds itself allied with groups dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish state, some of which use terror bombing of innocent civillians going about their daily lives. That's a very strange value to be driven by."
