The New York Post’s Page Six gossip column reports today that Sex and the City star Kirstin Davis has been eased out of a spokeswoman role at Oxfam International because the so-called human-rights organization is shocked to learn that Davis endorses Israel’s Ahava cosmetics line of Dead Sea products.
You see, the oh-so-principled good deed–doers at Oxfam believe that all right-thinking people should be boycotting one of the most famous products of Israel...
However, this little controversy shows just how false the portrayal of all the West Bank as “Occupied Palestine” really is. The Dead Sea shoreline was largely empty before the Jews returned to the area in the 20th century. No Palestinian Arabs were displaced to make way for Israelis there. The development of this industry and the use of the natural resources of the area were pioneered by the Jews, not the Arabs. What Oxfam and its leftist allies are trying to do is wage economic war on Israel...
Ahava really should go the route of an aggressive ad campaign centered on the theme:
Arabs Hate Israelis Enough to Become Suicide Bombers
Don't You Sacrifice Your Beauty
Buy Ahava
Don't You Sacrifice Your Beauty
Buy Ahava
