[Boycott - Economic - Europe]

Comment:

It's wonderful to see a British company, FreedomCall, make an ethical decision to boycott Israel. The company deserves our support and encouragement.

Zionists are already active in launching e-mail bombing campaigns to punish the company and pressure it to recanting. One campaign originating in the illegal israeli settlement of Ma'ale Adumim in East Jerusalem by an 'IDF mother' who has a morbid hobby of collecting trophy photos for her IDF son of Palestinians being killed is calling on zionists to write, email and telephone the company to complain their decision to boycott Israel.

Action

We request that believers of justice should email FreedomCall to congratulate them for not ignoring the suffering of the Palestinians and for putting ethics before profits and boycotting Israel. Also consider supporting them by using their products - among other things they do international phone cards.

UK's FreedomCall informs Israeli company of decision via email, blames Gaza operation

As a result of the Israeli government action in the last few days we will no longer be in a position to consider doing business with yourself or any other Israeli company.

FreedomCall email to Israeli company

British telecommunications firm FreedomCall has terminated its cooperation with Israel's MobileMax due to the IDF operation in Gaza.

"We received an email from the British company informing us that it is severing all ties with us and any other Israeli company following Israel's strike in Gaza," said CEO Raanan Cohen.

"We weren't expecting this from them and there was no prior warning. I don't intend to appeal to them or answer the letter."

The email from FreedomCall said, "As a result of the Israeli government action in the last few days we will no longer be in a position to consider doing business with yourself or any other Israeli company."

MobileMax, established in 2004, produces a program providing cellular phones with inexpensive international service.

"This issue of recognition [of Israel] is naive and is childish. You see for the Palestinians its impossible to recognise that what happened to them in 1948 was legitimate, was right. We were dispossessed, the Jews came from Europe to solve their own problem in Europe and to solve the European problem at the expense of the Palestinians. My mother was dispossessed of her home, my father of his land, and millions of Palestinians suffered the same fate. How can it be right? We cannot recognise that as being legitimate."
