Boycott Bodyshop

[Comrade]

Claim: In 2002, bath products vendor The Body Shop gave a humanitarian award to a Palestinian group.

Status: True.

:shocked:

I looked that the home page and sure enough, these are died and true humanitarian leftist whackjobs like we've seen running Ben & Jerry's and Working Assets.

But don't panick, B&J ice cream is safe now that the founders have sold off their ruling shares. Whew!

We consider testing products or ingredients on animals to be morally and scientifically indefensible. find out more

In other words, their morals say, if a human will die without the need for animal testing screw the human. And these people sell products us humans are expected to smear on our bodies?

We support small producer communities around the world who supply us with accessories and natural ingredients. find out more

What a load a bullshit! Look at their 'suppliers':

Now it's making a world of difference: from some 25 countries, from Australia to Zambia, we trade with over 35 suppliers ranging from Nicaraguan sesame farmers to Indian handicraft producers....

See now part of the prize money went to:

WAO Afrique, which provides education and training opportunities for child domestic workers in Togo, West Africa, negotiating time off from work and grants to enable them to go to school.

Could these same child workers labouring to make bodyshop products!?!

Everybody benefits.

The Body Shop gets great ingredients and products; it also provides us with a better way to do business with fairness, respect and trust

Suppliers benefit from receipt of actual orders, fair pricing and support in trying to meet their wider community goals in the ways that they have chosen. They gain access to markets and develop necessary business skills.

The ways the suppliers have chosen. hmmm... including hiring children to work for Bodyshop? Isn't that the cardinal sin of the left? Or the left without a business to run?

We know that you're unique, and we'll always treat you like an individual. We like you just the way you are. find out more

Oh that's nice, ya pricks like me. You like our money alright.

We believe that it is the responsibility of every individual to actively support those who have human rights denied to them. find out more

That includes Jewish babies having the right to not be shredded into hamburger or not?

Palestinian's are the true humanitarians according to Bodyshop's reward, right?

And that's why this company also funnels money to these 'right to return' organizations, through Arab based charities, instead of using more legitimate channels which curtail the occasional splurge on the C4 fund.

And with this new 'award' of $300,000 Bodyshop has crossed the line into FBI hunting ground. Why aren't they under investigation?

For the second issuance of the award, in 2002, the human rights issue The Body Shop chose as its focus was housing and land rights. As they announced in a 29 October 2002 press release entitled "The Body Shop Human Rights Award":

When are claims by a government and people on land held by another a human rights issue anyway? How about honor killings in Palestine, huh? Dumbass leftists don't ever care about that 'in your face' right to live free in Islamist Palestinian society.

Four groups fighting for housing and land rights in Israel, Kenya, Honduras and Bulgaria have won a $300,000 share of one of the top international human rights awards.

It's Isreal's land then? And others are fighting to take it back by blowing up Isrealis, and that's all about standing up for human rights? What asstards!

On Tuesday 29th October 2002, The Body Shop Human Rights Award marked the achievements of these grassroots organisations who have each demonstrated exceptional bravery and creativity in protecting and promoting the housing rights of the marginalized.

How brave? Throwing rocks brave or suicide bombing brave?

How creative? Using women and children to do it, or shield the great humanitarians (so we hear) while they do it?

So basically anyone could kill Jews, say its for human rights, and get 300K these days?

Israel — National Committee for the Defence of the Rights of the Internally Displaced is a self-help and advocacy advisory service, and a network for all community-based organisations campaigning for the right of return of internally displaced Palestinians.

A 'self-help advisory service', oh c'mon, what is that? An service telling you to "help yourself?"

I bet they build bomb belts and organize delivery systems.

(Although the press release excerpted above was at one time carried on the company's web site, it appears to no longer be housed there.)

Are ashamed of their willfull ignorance in how the money would be spent, or just hiding like the coward wankers they are?

The direction of one-quarter of its 2002 Human Rights Award to this "right of return" group was not the only time The Body Shop funneled financial aid to Palestinians or Palestinian causes. Through its May 2001 "Day For Palestine" project held at the chain's seven outlets in the United Arab Emirates, it donated one day's revenues from sales at those stores to support the people of Palestine. The resultant sum was forwarded to Palestine through the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation.

An Arab charity to Palestine, uhuh.

That one day, I can only imagine the add campaign:

"Buy some soap, and help kill a Jew?"

"As every girl knows, accessories make the look, and this has never been truer than when the look is tingly fresh, healthy-looking exfoliated skin. Choose from our wide selection of accessories, from refreshingly exfoliating bath gloves, mitts, body buffers and foot files, through to muscle toning, relaxing and invigorating massagers, we have the perfect accompaniment to our heavenly bath and body treats. And with many of these accessories being Community Traded, you’re helping others while you indulge yourself, yet another reason to feel good. And for every penny you spend the money will go to select Wahabbist charities in Palestine who will try to kill some Jews while you can simply sit back an exfoliate your lovely skin, because we really, really, like* you. We're serious.

*Except if you are land stealing, human right usurping Isreali. Return the land you stole or die. Although if you would like to browse our site and purchase our fine products, we always like money.


Okay, I've gone on in this fisking long enough. You can tell my contempt for this online company is boundless.

And so last 'company value' so quaintly listed on the company home page is:

We believe that a business has the responsibility to protect the environment in which it operates, locally and globally. find out more

And that's why Bodyshop makes soap, to clean stuff like asses and armpits, which can be bad for the environment if not treated.



Will ever buy from Bodyshop after hearing this? Tell others!
