[A disturbing slide show of "trophy" photos taken by Israeli soldiers . . .]
Former Israeli
soldier Eden Abergil's Facebook photos of her posing with Palestinian
prisoners has sparked accusations that 'souvenir photos' are widespread
in the army. Veterans' group Breaking the Silence has released a number
of soldiers' pictures, some showing dead Palestinians. The pictures were
released with the soldiers' faces obscured, apart from the image of
Abergil. The Guardian has pixellated the faces of the Palestinians

Archbishop Desmond Tutu Endorses Olympia Food Co-op’s Boycott of Israeli Goods |

(Olympia, WA – July 27, 2010) The Olympia Food Co-op’s decision to
honor the international call for boycott of Israeli goods has inspired
an inundation of phone calls, e-mails, and petition signatures
supporting the solidarity gesture, including an endorsement from South
African Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu.
The Archbishop endorsed the boycott with the following statement: “I,
Desmond Tutu, fully support and endorse the Olympia Food Co-op’s
boycott of Israeli products. The Olympia Food Co-op has joined a growing
worldwide movement on the part of citizens and the private sector to
support by non-violent tangible acts the Palestinian struggle for
justice and self-determination. Cooperatives have a long history of
working for and with the oppressed to strive for a better world, and now
Olympia Food Coop has been the first to build off of that legacy in
support of freedom for Palestinians. I encourage other cooperatives,
grocers, and businesses to follow their courageous example of boycotting
Israeli goods and for shoppers to support their principled stand.”

PDX ACTION! Please Sign onto "Don't Buy Into Apartheid" letter to New Seasons |

Dear Friends and Supporters,
Please take a moment out of your day to support our local campaign to
pressure New Seasons Market to stop carrying Israeli products by
clicking on the link below and signing on to the letter.
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/dontbuyapartheid/
As Desmond Tutu said:
The
End of South African Apartheid stands as one of the crowning
achievements of the last century, but we would not have succeeded
without the help of international pressure. There is no greater
testament to the basic dignity of ordinary people everywhere than the
divestment movement of the 1980s. A similar movement has taken shape
recently, this time aimed at ending Israeli occupation of Palestinian
territories. We should hope average citizens again rise to the occasion.
Please
support this international movement by signing on to our letter urging
New Seasons to stop carrying Israeli products until Apartheid ends!
