British Anti-BDS Group Employs Humor
(JNS.org) Jenni Frazer - The Israeli-owned Ecostream store in Brighton on Britain's south coast has attracted weekly demonstrations from the BDS crowd, angry that products made over the Green Line should be sold in the UK. Most of the supporters of Sussex Friends of Israel (SFI) were galvanized by the anti-Ecostream protests that have frequently degenerated into anti-Semitic rhetoric and abuse. SFI has mocked the BDS protesters with cheerful humor and a friendly local saxophonist playing for the entertainment of Brighton's shoppers. A recent SFI campaign has been the "Pies Against Lies" initiative. "We ran an event saying 'we bring pies, they bring lies' and offered food to the passers-by," said SFI's part-time director, Neil Duncanson.
