Boycott Motorola Weekly Action
When: Thursday, June 25, 2009, 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm
Where: Downtown Crossing
corner of Washington Street and Bromfield Street
Boston
Start: 2009 Jun 25 - 12:30pm
End: 2009 Jun 25 - 1:30pm |
Please support the call from Palestine to participate in B/D/S work, and help put consumer pressure on Motorola to stop aiding Israeli apartheid and profiting from Israel's war crimes.
We'll be standing out in front of the store educating people about Israeli apartheid, and asking consumers who frequent the store to boycott Motorola products. Our aim is not to block traffic in and out of the store, but rather to persuade the store's customers and staff members to participate in our boycott.
Suggested Slogans for Signs, if You Want to Bring Your Own:
MOTOROLA PROFITS FROM ISRAELI APARTHEID
Motorola's Weapons Kill Children in Palestine
Motorola Profits from War Crimes
Choose Peace; Boycott Motorola
Your Cell Phone Kills Palestinian Children
Hang Up on Motorola
Why Motorola?.
Communication Devices for Occupation:
Motorolas $100 million Mountain Rose communication system enhances the efficiency of Israeli occupying forces. Patterns of human rights violations in the Occupied Palestinian include, but are not limited to, the killing and injuring of civilians, torture, extra-judicial assassinations, deliberate destruction of civilian infrastructure, acts of collective punishment and economic warfare.
Surveillance Devices for Israels Illegal Wall:
Motorola supplies the Wide Area Surveillance System (WAAS) to monitor
and maintain Israels illegal wall constructed in violation of the July 2004
International Court of Justice (ICJ) advisory opinion. This wall is perhaps the
strongest symbol of Israeli Apartheid, carving the West Bank into Bantustans.
Surveillance Devices for Israels Illegal Settlements:
Motorola has made $93 million providing radar detection devices and thermal cameras for 47 illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian land. Israels confiscation of Palestinian land, illegal settlements, illegal wall, and continued occupation would not be possible without Motorola's compliance.
In the past, Motorola has yielded to public pressure and stopped it's cooperation with human rights abusing regimes in South Africa and Burma. Recently, in response to our boycott, Motorola sold its subsidiary Motorola Israel, the company that manufactures bomb fuses that kill Palestinians. We can draw from this legacy to end Motorolas current support for Israeli apartheid. Keep up the good work, everyone!

The Trader Joes boycott was so sucessful that nearly 250 storess completely sold out of their Israeli products in two days!
There was so much restocking last weekend, that many urban Trader Joes had their staff on overtime!
Yeah, go for the boycott. Its great for the economy- both here and in Israel! And now the only question remains is what are we going to do with all this couscous? |

How many hundreds of bottles of wine were purchased that day?
Maybe the whole BDS movement is a Zionist conspiracy.
