Most of Victoria’s
Secret’s bras and many of their other products are made by an
Israeli company called Delta Galil.
Most of the cotton they use is also grown in Israel, on confiscated
Palestinian land. The money you spend on VS lingerie, like U.S. tax
aid to Israel, sustains the apparatus of Israeli apartheid and
ethnic cleansing - home demolitions, checkpoints, restrictions on
movement, daily humiliation, land confiscation, imprisonment without
charge, assassination of political leaders and indiscriminate
killing of civilians.
The Israeli embassy's "Shop Israel" website urges people who support Israeli policies to buy Victoria’s Secret products. We are asking people who support human rights and peace to join a growing international boycott of Israeli apartheid by telling Victoria’s Secret to stop contributing to the Israeli economy. Boycott is a time-honored strategy that has been used to change other oppressive regimes, including in South Africa, and can be used now to pressure Israel to end its almost 60 years of occupation. Tell Victoria's Secret: Apartheid Isn't Sexy! Write to: "The end of [South Arican] apartheid stands as one of the crowning accomplishments of the last century, but we would not have succeeded without the help of international pressure. There is no greater testament to the basic dignity of ordinary people everywhere than the divestment movement of the 1980s. A similar movement has taken shape recently, this time aiming at an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. We should hope that average citizens again rise to the occasion."--Bishop Desmond Tutu More information on the campaign for divestment, boycott and sanctions against Israel.
