Boycott Duty Free Americas

Tell Duty Free Americas, and its owner, the South Florida Falic family, to stop funding the Israeli settler movement that is responsible for ongoing violence against Palestinians and the expulsion of Palestinians from their homes and land.

BOYCOTT DUTY FREE AMERICAS until it stops funding Israeli apartheid!

Please join us in Woodstock on Sunday, October 31st, from 11 AM until noon at the Village Green 

Tell Duty Free Americas, and its owners, the South Florida Falic family, to stop funding the Israeli settler movement that is responsible for ongoing violence against Palestinians and the expulsion of Palestinians from their homes and land.

According to the Associated Press: "The [Falic] family has donated at least $5.6 million to settler groups in the West Bank and east Jerusalem over the past decade...The Falics support the ultranationalist Jewish community in Hebron, whose members include several prominent followers of a late rabbi banned from Israeli politics for his racist views…. "

According to the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz: "The Falic family also operates the Panama-based Segal Foundation for Israel, which ran afoul of even Israeli law because it “did little more than transfer millions of shekels to right-wing organizations in Israel… ."

Shopping at Duty Free Americas helps the Falic Family foot the bill for settlement expansion in Palestine/Israel!  

BOYCOTT DUTY FREE AMERICAS until it stops funding Israeli apartheid!

If you can, bring a sign saying Boycott Duty Free Americas or Duty Free Americas: Stop funding ethnic cleansing.

Boycott PUMA

 

It’s not a good time to be PUMA’s CEO. Last month we learned just how nervous he is about the growing campaign to boycott PUMA over its support for Israeli apartheid. Teams in several countries are dropping PUMA, and PUMA’s celebrity ambassadors and business partners are raising ethical concerns. Now nearly 60,000 people have signed a petition to PUMA by global advocacy organization SumOfUs. And tomorrow, September 18, groups around the world, from New Zealand to South Africa to North America, will join the #BoycottPUMA Global Day of Action. We don’t particularly enjoy seeing PUMA’s CEO so agitated, but we would really enjoy seeing Palestinians enjoy freedom and justice. So we advise him to end PUMA’s complicity in apartheid Israel’s denial of Palestinian rights. Join nearly 60,000 calling on PUMA to “stop its complicity with the Israeli apartheid state.”
