It\u2019s time we stop it. <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n JVP is launching \u201cWe Don\u2019t Buy It,\u201d a new national consumer boycott campaign aimed at cutting off the flow of money into Israeli settler organizations. The campaign will focus on products and businesses owned by the Falic family, one of the biggest private U.S. funders of Israeli settler colonialism and Palestinian dispossession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Falic family profits off of the cosmetics, wine, and fashion industries, as well as, most prominently, their Duty Free Americas airport retail chain. They use their profits to donate millions of dollars to so-called Israeli \u201ccharity\u201d organizations, which literally build the infrastructure for illegal settlements. These right-wing organizations incite anti-Palestinian violence and further ethnic cleansing, and also push a disgusting anti-LGBTQ agenda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s no surprise that at the same time, the Falic family is funding a racist, supremacist, homophobic agenda here in the U.S. The far right in the U.S. and Israel doesn’t just share racist values \u2014 they literally share funders. By cutting off Falic family profits, we slow the flow of money into far-right organizations in both places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every consumer dollar we put in the Falics\u2019 pockets becomes part of the fortune that funds ethnic cleansing. It\u2019s time to turn off the tap and say We Don\u2019t Buy It! We <\/strong>refuse<\/strong><\/em> to spend money that finances the destruction of Palestinian homes and lives. <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n From Jewish Voice For Peace<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thursday, May 11<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 6.
