mailing list

Please Post Widely

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zCEXh50KBU

On July 9th 2010 CAIA joined thousands of activists around the world in a United day of Action on the Fifth anniversary of the BDS call from Palestine and the Sixth anniversary of the International Court of Justice ruling that the apartheid wall was illegal and had to be
dismantled.

In Toronto CAIA activists dressed in spa wear entered the cosmetics department of Sears flagship store in the Eaton Centre and noisily demanded that Sears stop selling Ahava products. Before being ejected by security they sent a very clear message to the store management
that Toronto doesn’t want Ahava products in its shops. See all the action on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zCEXh50KBU. Ahava products are made from from stolen Palestinian natural resources in the Occupied West Bank, and are produced in the illegal settlement of Mitzpe Shalem.
