Why Hello Kitty Should not Open her Stores in Israel, Givatayim

This video is made to show Sanrio Company,Ltd. (Headquarters) - 1-6-1, Osaki - Shinagawa-Ku - Tokyo - Japan , the company behind sweet hello kitty, that Israel is not a nation to do business with, no matter how much sanrio needs the profit. No Kitty should be used to whitewash Israeli apartheid!
Mobility in the West Bank is just one of the examples which illustrate the contrast between 'business as usual' in Givatayim (or Tel Aviv) and apartheid in the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt). Israel's human-rights abuses against Palestinians go much further than this: violent nightly incursions into Palestinian villages, systematic arrests of children as young as 11, the killing of non-violent demonstrators -- these are not isolated occurrences of atrocities, they are the infrastructure of a system of oppression, practically unaffected by any criticism or international rulings that demand changes.

Israel's violations of human rights have been documented by the UN and respected human rights organizations such as Amnesty International and Oxfam, and recognized as unlawful by international judicial bodies. The necessity in steady substantial pressure on Israel has also been highlighted in a recent report by 21 human rights organizations in regard to ensuring "an immediate, unconditional, and complete lifting of the blockade" of Gaza, where Israel implements a policy of "deliberate reduction" for basic goods -- using mathematical formulas to measure the amount of food sufficient to keep Gaza inhabitants alive at a near-malnutrition level; allowing in an average of less than a third of the needed goods. Sanrio Company,Ltd. (Headquarters) - 1-6-1, Osaki - Shinagawa-Ku - Tokyo - Japan is being asked to halt the deal with "Leader" Brands in Israel.
