Ode to Boycott

'Ode to Boycott', sung by Justice Voices, was recorded on November 26, 2011 in preparation for the flashmob that took place on December 10th at the Bed Bath and Beyond store in Marin County, California. See the YouTube: 'Brides boycott Ahava and Soda Stream'. The music is from Beethoven's ninth symphony and the lyrics are by Sue Blackwell and Jane Jewell.

Ode to Boycott
Israel, end your occupation,
There's no peace on stolen land;
We'll sing out for liberation,
'Till you hear and understand.
Ethnic cleansing and apartheid
Should belong to history,
Human rights should not be silenced,
Palestine will soon be free!

All this Dead Sea mud is stolen
From the Palestinian's land,
Beauty products by Ahava,
All of them should now be banned.
Soda Stream is made in factories,
That should never have been built,
Bed Bath and Beyond's exposed now,
We won't let you hide your guilt!

Ahava's made on stolen land
And so is Soda Stream, as well,
Palestinians lose their farmland,
Families' lives are turned to hell.
Both these products -- stolen products --
Violate international law,
Bed Bath and Beyond we charge you,
Kick these products out your store.
