BDS Action - Sylvia Park, Auckland New Zealand 9 July 2011

BDS - Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions against Israeli company Primer marketing Dead Sea products in Sylvia Park Mall Auckland, New Zealand - Action taken on 9 July 2011

In 2005, Palestinian civil society issued a call for a campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with international law and Palestinian rights. A truly global movement against Israeli Apartheid is rapidly emerging in response to this call

This was not a silent demonstration, despite the comments below, I wanted to learn more, but was made to feel scared, small, worthless and intimidated. Please, Please, Please don't hurt other people like this...

When i tried to explain, the demonstrator then became very agressive and I was really quite shocked and scared. He was filming all of the way through the tirade and pointing the camera in my face. He did the same to another couple in the shop at the same time. I only wanted to find out more for myself, to give my support and encouragement in an informed way.

I've been watching this with real interest. I fully support BDS and the cause for which they stand for, however, I was in Sylvia Park when the demonstration was taking place. I read through the leaflet and wanted to find out more about the company and products. I went into the store to find out for myself and was followed by one of the demonstrators with a camera who, whilst filming accused me of killing Palestinian children and asked how I could sleep at night with that on my concience.

Fantastic action. Greetings from Adelaide Australia. We have been protesting for 42 consecutive weeks educating the shoppers in Adelaide about BDS. The response has been great. People are eager to find out more about BDS and the situation in Palestine. Keep up the good work.

I was there the day the demonstration took place at Silvia Park and I witnessed shoppers being verbally harassed and accused of killing Palestinian children. I was standing within 2 meters of this and heard it clearly. There is no mistaking what was said. THIS IS FACT. SHOPPERS WERE ACCUSED OF KILLING PALESTINIAN CHILDREN. This is shoppers in NZ!. This is why i cannot respect those that posted this video.

@Facethetruth1911

what do u mean the whole uncut version? where u there to see what was done? gosh stop accusing without knowing, the only hater here is you. This is uncut,shoppers were never openly accused of anything.The demonstration was pretty much silent,and the shoppers were left with the choice to think what they wanna think. and approach to talk if they wanted to.look at the last BDS of this group,duct tape on mouth, hence going thru peaceful means.stop being so defensive...

Activists are now flying into Israel as you type, asshole.

And just how israel is dealing with that ?

is going to turn into a global 'public relations' nightmare for them.

[Facethetruth1911]

Active peaceful demonstration is a wonderful medium for educating the world to poverty, suffering and racial persecution. The way you have gone about this just alienates the people whose support you canvass.. Self awareness is the path to realisation of true reality.

[Facethetruth1911]

So go and do something meaningful about it loser.. Stop hanging around in mall's. Reality is a personal choice. You are a sad excuse for a human, picking a bandwagon to jump on board, harassing hard working mothers, fathers and children who simply want to live in this wonderful land. Show the whole uncut video, the parts where you force your views on people, WHERE YOU OPENLY AND INDISCRIMINANTLY ACCUSE SHOPPERS OF MURDERING CHILDREN, or do you not want people to know the whole truth...???
