07 AprMax Brenner boycott @ Newtown 8th April

The global Boycott-Divestment-Sanctions (BDS) is getting stronger by the day. All over Africa, the Americas and parts of Europe and Asia, more and more people are initiating and creating campaigns that aim to put pressure on companies, organisations, institutions and artists that deal with or support Israel. These campaigns are gaining a lot of support and most importantly are having a strong impact. The BDS movement is a momentous and global force that is unstoppable.
In Sydney a group of people (from all walks and affiliations) are taking part in this global boycott movement.

Tomorrow (thursday 8th) people will be meeting outside of Max Brenner in Newtown at 5pm to call on Newtowners to boycott israel and boycott Max Brenner. The BDSers will be selling non-apartheid chocolate and handing out information to people passing by.
Try to come and let others know.

Toronto Sun : Boycott Sri Lankan sports, Tamils urge
New Zealand should scrap its friendly cricket tour of Sri Lanka.

Indeed, Tamil protesters are now calling for a worldwide boycott of Sri Lankan sports and products until alleged human rights abuses end.

A small group of Tamil protesters yesterday held a subdued vigil outside the Sutton Place Hotel, where New Zealand maintained a consulate facility, to protest the Blackcaps elite cricket team playing Sri Lanka’s team.

Protesters say there should be an international boycott of Sri Lanka, until at least human-rights organizations and non-governmental organizations can enter camps to ensure those displaced during the civil war are well and sent home.

We are at the midst of a great economic meltdown. Several of the so called developed countries have lost more than half of their net capitalization of stock market due to this economical tsunami at the blink of an eye.  

While Trillion dollar economies of USA, U.K, Japan and India are under turmoil, one would wonder what would be the fate of the economy of the tiny South Asian nation Sri Lanka that is waging a genocidal war against its ethnic minority. It is unfortunate that calls for a permanent ceasefire by several nations including Canada, USA, UK and also the UN has fallen on deaf ears.
