Join the Boycott Israeli Apartheid Campaign for an informational picket
outside Lavan: Body Mind and Soap on Sunday, November 20 at 1:00 PM. Lavan
Vancouver boasts of its ‘natural’ Israeli soaps and beauty products. Join
us to inform Vancouver that there’s nothing green about apartheid!
 While Israeli companies like Lavan benefit from the minerals of the Dead
Sea, Palestinians from the illegally Israeli-occupied West Bank have been
denied access to the northern Dead Sea’s beaches and minerals for over a
decade. The northern Dead Sea area, inside the West Bank, is 77%
confiscated by occupation military officials and illegal colonial
settlements. Furthermore, all Israeli companies – and the Israeli economy,
based on apartheid and exploitation of Palestinian resources – benefit from
Israeli apartheid, while the Palestinian people, living under occupation
and apartheid and in exile, have called for a global campaign of boycott,
divestment and sanctions against all Israeli goods, products, and
institutions.

Israel destroys Palestinian lives, livelihoods and homes daily, refuses to
stop building its illegal settlements and apartheid wall on stolen land,
continues to control Gaza while slicing the West Bank into Bantustans,
denies Palestinian refugees their right to return, grows produce and sets
up industrial zones on stolen Palestinian land, and operates an apartheid,
racist system on both sides of the ‘green line’. Companies like Lavan,
which one news article reported that “when creating the store and the
products, pride in Israel was part of the package,” reflect pride in
apartheid.

Join us for an informational picket and literature distribution – Boycott
Lavan, Boycott Israeli Apartheid!
