October 8

GUEST: Dalit Baum, Ph.D., Director of Economic Activism for the American Friends Service Committee, and co-founder of Who Profits from the Occupation as well as the Coalition of Women for Peace in Israel, talks about what boycott means and why it is being applied to companies profiting from the occupation of Palestine.

Who Profits from the Occupation of Palestine

Dalit combines a researcher's passion with a strong moral commitment to human rights for all people. She is able to easily go from exploring the intricacies of business relationships to profoundly rejecting racist cruelty and Israeli apartheid. 

In the US, we are apt to condemn large corporations for their eagerness to make money despite the harm they do to our nation's citizens. In the West Bank, large corporations are making money by supporting the land theft and cultural genocide that is at the heart of all Israeli settlements. 

The UN has taken a huge step in exposing those businesses that are violating international law. This UN declaration, combined with the research available from Who Profits from the Occupation, is all you need to start doing the right thing when it comes to making out your grocery lists. Make Pillsbury the first step in bringing human rights to the Middle East!
