Flashmob: Brides Boycott Ahava and SodaStream at Bed Bath and Beyond (Video)
["BDS Brides LA." Photo from a different direct action than video below. Image by CodePinkHQ]
The following is a video of a flash mob mobilizing for the boycott of AHAVA and SodaStream at a Bed Bath and Beyond store in Marin County, California.
Music by Jane Jewell and Sue Blackwell.
Lyrics:
Ode to Boycott
Israel, end your occupation,
There's no peace on stolen land;
We'll sing out for liberation,
'Till you hear and understand.
Ethnic cleansing and apartheid
Should belong to history,
Human rights should not be silenced,
Palestine will soon be free!
All this Dead Sea mud is stolen
From the Palestinian's land,
Beauty products by Ahava,
All of them should now be banned.
Soda Stream is made in factories,
That should never have been built,
Bed Bath and Beyond's exposed now,
We won't let you hide your guilt!
Ahava's made on stolen land
And so is Soda Stream, as well,
Palestinians lose their farmland,
Families' lives are turned to hell.
Both these products -- stolen products --
Violate international law,
Bed Bath and Beyond we charge you,
Kick these products out your store.

Frankly, I'm a little surprised and also embarrassed to see this video posted here. Jadaliyya is supposed to be a forum for circulating critical analyses and commentaries on the contemporary Middle East. It is not supposed to be just another pseudo-activist website... I would expect yet another BDS video to be posted on Electronic Intifada, but not on Jadaliyya (and especially so when there's zero commentary or critical reflection associated with the video imagery). Sorry Jadaliyya, but you can (and should) do better than this!

Yet, the majority of young people I talked to, regardless of class or gender, revealed a sophisticated political perspective and a keen interest in participation. They talked the language of human rights, responsibilities, good governance and bad governance.click me | أنقرني email quote to a friend
