Founder of The Body Shop Supporting Extreme Anti-US Causes
Join the Boycott ^

Posted on 12/11/2006 10:05:12 PM PST by prfix

Beware where you spend your money this Holiday season.

Founder of The Body Shop and now a consultant to it, Anita Roddick, signed and promoted a letter of an extremist anti-Israel and anti-US Coalition that said Israel had "no justification" for its actions in Lebanon (it does not even mention Hezbollah!). Roddick also joins that same Coalition in vigorously demanding an end to Tony Blair's support of "Bush's War" in Iraq.

Beware where you spend your money this Holiday season.

Founder of The Body Shop and now a consultant to it, Anita Roddick, signed and promoted a letter of an extremist anti-Israel and anti-US Coalition that said Israel had "no justification" for its actions in Lebanon (it does not even mention Hezbollah!). Roddick also joins that same Coalition in vigorously demanding an end to Tony Blair's support of "Bush's War" in Iraq.

Roddick has long been an outspoken anti-US advocate despite the millions she has made from US consumers. Since assuming the position of a consultant to The Body Shop it seems her opinions have become more openly extreme.

She has also been in hot water in the past for taking The Body Shop funds and giving them to PLO causes - a petition was set up to protest this. You might want to consider signing it as a gift to Ms. Roddick.

do you mean The Body Shop?

It's a widely known UK-based international retail chain (thousands of outlets) of personal body care products... and was run by Roddick who is now a "consultant" - a woman with an outspoken anti-US and anti-Israel agenda

Never expect the lefty press to ever, ever expose anti-American orgs. , media outlets, blogs or writers. They value their right to undermine our nation over our protection.
