i just read about this on the jsz message board. donna k writes:
No doubt most of you have shopped at The Body Shop which is in every
mall. I have too. But no more.
The other night I was looking at a Body Shop product in my collection of
stuff and happened to notice Arabic writing on the back. An acquaintance
pointed out that the Arabic no doubt identified the product as it was
below a long list of different languages doing just that. But there was
no Hebrew. That bothered me so today I went to the company web site,
www.the-body-shop.com <http://www.the-body-shop.com> and surfed it a
bit. There, right on the company news page, was the announcement of a
2002 award to pro Palestinians in Israel seeking the right of return. As
most of you know, the so-called right of return is the call of
terrorists as it uncontrovertibly means the destruction of the Jewish
state. There is absolutely no question about this cosmetics' company
stand on this issue. You of course have to make your own decision, but
The Body Shop will not see my money. Please check out the link above and
go to company news or directly to the link below which will take you
there. Also please pass this along to those you deem appropriate,
including any Jewish agencies where you know someone. If I have
misjudged any of the recipients of my email and you are pro-Palestinian,
my comments stand.

Now I'm wondering about some of the other stuff we're buying (see
below).
Regards,
usually i would not post a comment so strongly pushed toward one side, but I thought it would be a good thing to check out for yourself. I encourage you to follow the links, read up, and form your own opinion. but i thought it was important to share.
