Ahava Boycott: Letter sent to Wellness Warehouse

Posted Wed, 08/18/2010 - 16:54 by kiu.kim

On the 16th of August 2010, Open Shuhada Street sent the following letter to Wellness Warehouse; a retailer of wellness products and services which stocks Ahava products.

AHAVA PRODUCTS ARE PRODUCED IN VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW: WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU DESIST FROM IMPORTING AND SELLING AHAVA PRODUCTS

 

We support the international boycott campaign of Ahava products

Posted Wed, 08/18/2010 - 13:05 by kiu.kim

Ahava is a privately held Israeli cosmetics company which manufactures its products in the Occupied Palestinian Territories via the exploitation of Palestinian natural resources: an act deemed illegal by international law.

Enterprises such as Ahava perpetuate the increasing presence of Israel's illegal settlements in occupied Palestinian land by making the Occupation profitable. As a result, Ahava is playing a role in financing the destruction of hope for a peaceful and just future for both Israelis and Palestinians.

Open Gaza Now

Posted Tue, 06/08/2010 - 11:53 by Open Shuhada Street

We condemn the Israeli attack on the flotilla to Gaza and the blockade this attack seeks to enforce. The attack killed 9 people and the blockade has killed many more.

Clarification: Open Shuhada Street did not sign statement

Posted Tue, 06/08/2010 - 11:05 by Open Shuhada Street

On 3 June 2010 the Coalition for a Free Palestine issued a statement titled "Palestinians welcome South Africa recall of ambassador". At the end of the statement, signed by a number of organisations, appeared the name 'Open Shuhada Street'. This was done in error. OSS did not consent for the use of the organisation's name for this statement. The Coalition for a Free Palestine have acknowledged the mistake in an e-mail to OSS. By way of clarifying OSS's position on the attack on the Gaza flotilla and the blockade of Gaza the organisation will be releasing its own statement shortly.
