I don't doubt it,
but I do doubt that there was any critical thought process that went into this stunt.
It's absurd to claim that any purchase from Israel indirectly funds the Israeli military, by that standard, anything purchased from a neighboring country indirectly funds Hezbollah.
It's even more absurd to focus on anti-israeli purchases, but not coalition,supporter or founding countries.
It's even more absurd to talk into a random tesco's and complain at a random checkout for 8 minutes...lol
With an absolute lack of thought process like that, I have even less expectancy that they actually KNOW what they're really protesting.
Would have been hilarious if someone at Tesco's actually demonstrated and interest and asked them about their ideal goals in the matter...blank faces all around I imagine.
Whatever-- when I see a protest or picket line or a boycott I don't think of what every single person there is thinking of, I concentrate on what the goals of the action are. I support the goals of this protest, and this is only one group among many (including secularists, Christians and Jews) performing one action among many in the broader Israeli divestment campaign. The tactical effectiveness of this particular protest is debatable, but it doesn't immediately strike me as stupid as it seems to for you and others here.
What I see is a bunch of people needlessly getting their panties in a bunch over a video of a few hijabis non-violently protesting Israel.
What? Some bints holding up a queue in Tesco, then whining about racism? You're easily pleased.
I'm neither pleased nor displeased, more astonished as to how many people here seem to have a stick up their fuckin asses about it.
This won't do anything, its just a publicity stunt which failed miserably. Why did they not write to the manager to complain or stand outside of the shop saying what they wanted to say to everyone with examples of the food that was Israeli. Boycotting means not buying the goods really.
Wow it's like you didn't read anything I just wrote. Why bother to quote my post?
