Everyone else here says the exact same thing about you Sherri. You can say what you want, but like I said, at the end of the day, you are wasting your time because you have zero credibility.
Maybe if you weren't so full of hate, maybe if you weren't such a liar, maybe if you weren't an anti - Semite, maybe if you didn't make up things about Israel, you would have some credibility.
But that's not the case. Posters who never post in the ME section have come here to tell you what a demented nutcase you are.

I can only laugh at the fact that you think you have any credibility however, it's hilarious !!!! LOL

Yeah, she has been suffering... Has she had any work lately...?

Good for Scarlett. May have to buy one of those Soda Stream things...

I don't drink soda, but decades ago we used to have a similar product for entertaining, so we did not have to have or waste bottles of different sodas.
It saves space and if the prices are right, it should save money. Soda companies keep having sales so it might at the right time be cheaper to buy the bottles.
It depends on where you are when you shop.

Look at the progression.

God only knows where ScarJo will be in two more years.

But Palestinians and BDS thank her for all she has done for BDS.

Viva Palestina!

Scarlett is beautiful, you Sherri? They should make you wear pants on your face in public.

A diaper would be more like it, considering the projectile verbal diarrhea with which the pious l'il pustule is so frequently afflicted......

Update: Lost in Occupation: Scarlett Johansson ends relationship with Oxfam to stick with Soda Stream

"Late Wednesday West Coast time the Associated Press broke the news. A statement released by a spokesperson for her cited “a fundamental difference of opinion” about the issues raised by her recent decision to serve as “global brand ambassador” for SodaStream, a company that manufactures its home carbonation contraptions in an illegal settlement on the West Bank."

This is the report from The Associated Press.

"A statement released by Johansson’s spokesman Wednesday said the 29-year-old actress has “a fundamental difference of opinion” with Oxfam International because the humanitarian group opposes all trade from Israeli settlements, saying they are illegal and deny Palestinian rights."

“Scarlett Johansson has respectfully decided to end her ambassador role with Oxfam after eight years,” the statement said. “She and Oxfam have a fundamental difference of opinion in regards to the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement. She is very proud of her accomplishments and fundraising efforts during her tenure with Oxfam.”"

"Earlier this month, “The Avengers” and “Her” actress signed on as the first global brand ambassador of SodaStream International Ltd., and she’s set to appear in an ad for the at-home soda maker during the Super Bowl on Feb. 2."

SodaStream “treats us like slaves,” says Palestinian factory worker -

"When asked if there was discrimination between black and white Jews, M. replied, “Yes, for sure. You will not [find] white Jews wearing yarmulke [a skull cap] doing the hard work or ‘hand work.’ The supervisors who run the factory are mainly Russian and they are managed mainly by the white Jews, and we are ‘Palestinians,’ only workers.”"

"M. also talked of discriminatory hiring practices, explaining that “most Israelis are hired through the company directly,” while West Bank Palestinians require “a special security permit to be employed.” The settlement factory has an internal security officer who “takes care of applying for the permits from the Israeli authorities.”

What are you babbling about?

Oxfam really has done very little in this story, they had an ambassador they believed cared about suffering of people in humanitarian crisis and tragedies and poverty in the world , but they learned ScarJo cared more about promoting unlawful businesses in illegal settlements in Occupied Palestine. She showed them by her acts she rejected their values.

Is Oxfam mimicking defeated Ayrab armies and holding victory parades and press conferences?

Their values are anti-Semitism and sticking their snouts in other peoples business. Oxfam does a 99% good deed by feeding the hungry and helping the needy around the world. They should stick with charity and mind their own business.

 

[SherriMunnerlyn]

Oxfam did not start this controversy. Scarlett started it when she chose to become a spokesperson for Soda Stream. She had to know her actions raised a conflict. The fact is they had terminated prior spokespersons for similar acts, the worst you can say about Oxfam here is they sat on it, they should have acted and terminated her days ago.

There is another article reported on Mondoweiss that claims there was some internal dissension inside Oxfam between Oxfam Intl and Oxfam US that was holding them up in taking action.

 

[SherriMunnerlyn]

This has not a thing in this world to do with Anti Semitism.

The problem is Soda Stream operates unlawfully in an illegal settlement in Occupied Palestine.

[SherriMunnerlyn]

No, they didnt. And everyone in BDS knew she was going to have to leave Oxfam, many thought they were waiting until after the Super Bowl.

The fact further is Oxfam has never officially supported BDS, they do object to the settlements because they are unlawful but they never have came out publicly in support of BDS.

I think before Mrs. Sherri continues blabbering on and on about SodaStream, she should contact the Arab workers at SodaStream and ask them why they back Scarlett. She might get an earful.

Is Scarlett Johansson Wrong to Dump Oxfam? Ask SodaStream's Palestinian Workers
2 hours 35 min ago

While the likes of MSNBC's Chris Hayes are criticising actress Scarlett Johansson's decision to stand by SodaStream and Israel and ditch the politicking Oxfam, there is another group of people whose opinions on this issue should be heard: the Palestinians employed by SodaStream in the West Bank.

Earlier this month, Johansson and Oxfam came to blows over the actress's appearance for and endorsement of SodaStream, a company which has factories in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

And while there are of course many Palestinians not employed by the company who oppose the West Bank factories, the resounding consensus from employees and their dependents seems to be one of excitement and gratitude towards the Israeli-owned firm. Over 500 Palestinians are able to earn three times as much as the average Palestinian worker—and even more than Israel's own minimum wage.

One worker told NPR: "It's an excellent place to work. It provides a good salary and they treat us very well. At SodaStream, they do not discriminate between Arabs, Jews, or any ethnic group."

But there are those for whom the status quo and the "pro-Palestinian" lobbying that goes along with it is more important than Palestinian jobs and economic liberties.

MSNBC's Chris Hayes, while not the worst of all culprits, illustrates how ignorant yet politically exigent statements contribute very little to a solution in the region. Earlier Thursday he stated, "Well I'm sure the Hollywood actress getting paid $ for sponsorship and not the NGO that feeds people is right about this particular policy."

One wonders if the liberal media darling getting paid $ for pushing a particular narrative and not the Palestinian worker is right.

Another Palestinian told CSMonitor what he thought of Oxfam and many other organisations' boycotts of Israel and Israeli companies operating in the West Bank: "Before boycotting, they should think of the workers who are going to suffer." The man previously is said to have earned 20 shekels ($6) a day plucking and cleaning chickens but now he makes nearly 10 times that at SodaStream, which also provides transportation, breakfast, and lunch.

One of his fellow Palestinians remarked: "I would love to work for SodaStream. They’re quite privileged. People look up to them. It’s not the people who want to boycott, it’s the officials.”

So why does the so-called "pro-Palestinian" (read: anti-Israel) lobby fail to concern themselves with the welfare and rights of ordinary Palestinians?

One Palestinian man claims it is because "When they [Israelis] provide work for the Palestinians, it's a way of beautifying the image of the occupation," whereas the SodaStream CEO says that while he isn't in favour of the settlements in the West Bank, he doesn't "want to send 5,000 people into hunger because some activist group thinks that's going to promote peace."

[SherriMunnerlyn]

There is an article in the OP that rebuts the claims SODA Stream is a good place to work and it's based on interviews with employees.

And who really cares what some workers say, the fact is the factory is built on land stolen from Palestinians and the presence of the factory and all the over 600000 illegal settlers in the OPT is a war crime and a violation of The Fourth Geneva Convention.

 

[SherriMunnerlyn]

Stop lying.

No, they didnt. And everyone in BDS knew she was going to have to leave Oxfam, many thought they were waiting until after the Super Bowl.

Shouldn't those workers as Palestinians get to be heard? Or is the pseudo-pacifist 'humanitarian' only interested in the views of Palestinians who say what *it* thinks they should be saying?

 

[SherriMunnerlyn]

This is the underlying conflict raised by ScarJo being a spokesperson for Oxfam and Soda Stream:


Scarlett Johansson not only abandons Oxfam but throws it under the bus

Scarlett Johansson not only abandons Oxfam but throws it under the bus | Mondoweiss


"The issue was not about BDS, but about the contradiction in being the ambassador for one organization that opposes illegal settlements (Oxfam), while being the ambassador for another organization that is based in and profits from an illegal settlement (Soda Stream)"

When Oxfam did not immediately act to remove her as Spokesman, ScarJo tried to make the dispute something it was not, into this:

"So Johansson changes the subject, from one in which she occupied both sides of opposing interests—perhaps inadvertently at first, but unwilling to budge—to one in which Oxfam was making unreasonable demands of her."

She tried to make the issue about BDS.

And this article points out that while there is nothing inherently wrong with BDS,, the organization Oxfam has never taken a position on the issue.

"Unfortunately Oxfam made itself open to being exploited by its former global ambassador. Early in the scandal, Oxfam refused to take a strong public stance. Instead, it expressed both its “opposition to all trade from Israeli settlements” and its respect for “the independence of our ambassadors,” adding that it was “engaged in a dialogue on these important issues” with Johansson."

And here is a part of what seemed to have been going on inside Oxfam:

"Ali Abunimah in the Electronic Intifada reported that there was an “internal revolt” at Oxfam over Johansson, with its American branch being the holdout to a resolution due to fundraising fears."

The story has nothing to do with Oxfam US considering BDS to be Anti Semitic, and as it, BDS, has only to do with boycotting unlawful practices of Israel, of course BDS has not a thing in this word to do with Anti Semitism.
