Is that not dwindling?

You need to do some basic maths...

If there are 1.8m people in Gaza, then every year (given a birth rate of 40 babies per 1000 people) another 72000 babies are added to there population.
That means every month on average, they would need to lose 6000 people for their population to remain STATIC.

WW are not suffering anything, like I said, I actually expect their revenue to increase thanks to your boycott.

So you fully admit, you're only going after WW at this point in time, so you are selectively targeting a company which is apolitical based on "facts" that you are fabricating?

This is the first I am hearing of an international boycott on fresh produce from Israel, and doesn't seem to bourne out by media online, Sainsburys told the protestor to fek off basically, ASDA is still stocking Israeli products. Again it seems as if you are fabricating "facts" to support your pointless boycott.

If you wish to stop supporting Israeli products then you have bigger issues than simply fresh produce.

WW is doing bad economically in general globally.
They just had a major sale. It will look good for now.
You just need to calculate it.
If a family spent R1000 a month at Ww which is less than average in my opinion.
Times it by 12, it's R12 000. Times that by only the 100 000 that marched in Cape Town.
One lady even posted till slips that amounted to R200 000 in response to the measly R8000 Ms frank spends.

As I said before, BDS is working.
 
Tomorrow I'm buying all the tomatoes I can find in WW, I'm making tomato jam. I'm selling it at the next pro Palestinian March.

Your logic is such a big fail.

Let's boycott 100% of SA farmers that supply to woolies because we need to punish maybe 1 tomato farmer in Israel that might be 100% innocent.

FFs. Grow up.

Really?

Their financial statements don't agree with you.

Again you are fabricating facts to suit your own point of view, which has NO basis in reality.
BDS is clearly working very very well when WW revenue is up 16% and their profitability is up 21.1%

Yes, with the origin of the other 99,9% of their suppliers. They abide by the SA government requirement to indicate the country of origin.

What do you want them to do?

Just drop the 1% :)

Why, your groups little rant is gaining them considerably more market exposure and I would guess more revenue in the process. I would say its a very astute marketing move to keep the products on the shelves.

Which 1% though?

You looking at the JSE I take it?
Well if they doing so well why buy from them? ;)

Why? Because the farmer might be Jewish? Might feed 100 poor families.

You are sick and twisted. You cry about people being innocent victims but you advocate exactly the same thing. You are a hypocrite.

No, I'm looking at their financial reports, which are publicly available.

Ummm, I fail to grasp the logic. They do well, therefore I must'nt buy from them? :wtf:

no

Riad al-Zeitouniya, the head of the Civil Status and Passport Department in the Ministry of Interior of the Gaza government, speaking to Al-Monitor:
According to Zeitouniya, the total number of births in Gaza in 2013 exceeded 56,000, while the first three months of 2014 saw more than 13,000. He added, “The increase of the population in the Gaza Strip is excessive; it is very large. Between 2000 and 2013, the number of Gazans increased by more than 687,000 people.”

No you must not buy from them because you do not want Israeli kids to have food. They must starve.

Ep27 I agree with you on the humanitarian stance hence my posts. I am saying that it should be a humanitarian issue but unfortunately because of the approach of the Ummah we are making it seem as if it is a Muslim issue. If not for anything else then for the mere fact that we do not protest and boycott to this extent for any other cause but Palestine. I am 1000% sure if we would also support other causes including the plight of other religions suffering we would have drones of people supporting us right now.

I am behind you the entire Muslim community 100% all I am saying is we might be going about it the wrong way. Allah knows best, hopefully the violence from every side will stop soon.

I know the silly posts and stands some people are making and it is embarrassing yes.
Did you see the one about bad oranges some lady complained about? People claimed the Palestinians blood infected the orange.
But we used to such silly things every now and then.
There's no need to be boisterous about your boycott, but it's in your subconscious now, your actions should speak louder than your words.

That is his logic Mila my dear.
I don't subscribe to ridiculous logic like that, I have a modicum of sanity :)

I would rather the 99.9% of the suppliers in this country get to put food on their table than trying to starve some 0.1% of suppliers who happen to be Israeli, who are not directly involved in this conflict anyway.
