Name_Taken_Too: No Beauty in Occupation: Malaysia and Indonesia Boycott Israeli-held Miss Universe



"Attempts to whitewash "Israel" with beauty contests and similar events are rapidly multiplying, it is becoming increasingly difficult to turn a blind eye to their appalling and ever-mounting war crimes, notably during their assault on Gaza last May which saw the murder of over 230 Palestinians, including women and children.

Israeli violence does not end here, as administrative detention by the occupation forces alone has created a crisis of human rights violations, where prisoners have reached their 110th day of hunger strike in protest of the poor and abusive prisoner conditions."

Gigi Hadid American super model, responds to criticism and being called Anti-Semitic;

“One cannot advocate for racial equality, LGBT and women’s rights, condemn corrupt and abusive regimes, and other injustices yet choose to ignore the Palestinian oppression. It does not add up. You cannot pick and choose whose human rights matter more."

Personally I feel sorry for the athletes.. Maybe people will question why though.

The World Squash Federation announced on Monday that the World Men’s Team Squash Championship scheduled for next week in Kuala Lumpur was cancelled after Malaysian authorities refused to allow entry to Israeli athletes.

."Russian Ambassador to Israel Anatoly Viktorov told the Times of Israel on Nov. 9 that Russia does not view Hamas a terrorist group, but consider it part of Palestinian society. “We are keeping contacts with Hamas,” he added, saying the group “is a legitimate political force in Palestine.”

Viktorov said labelling Hamas as a terrorist group undermines the political process, suggesting that the movement “should be involved in a possible political solution.” He further said that Israel should engage with Hamas."

Name_Taken_Too: "The BDS movement wants to end Israel’s occupation of territories captured in the 1967 war, end discrimination against Arab citizens of Israel and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to family properties lost in the war surrounding Israel’s creation in 1948. Israel says the Palestinian “right of return” would lead to a massive influx of refugees that would mean the end of the country as a Jewish state.

For the BDS movement, SodaStream’s pullout from the West Bank was part of a domino effect that would see more companies sever interests to spare their bottom line. “This is a clear-cut BDS victory against an odiously complicit Israeli company,” said Omar Barghouti, a co-founder of the movement. He said it would continue to target SodaStream because its new factory is located in an area where Israel has in the past proposed to resettle Bedouin Arabs. The company employs more than 300 Bedouins."

The Montgomery Bus Boycott

"The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a civil rights protest during which African Americans refused to ride city buses in Montgomery, Alabama, to protest segregated seating. The boycott took place from December 5, 1955, to December 20, 1956, and is regarded as the first large-scale U.S. demonstration against segregation."
