John Lewis’s complacency and complicity in stocking occupation SodaStream products – despite their awareness of an international boycott campaign against the manufacturer – has been exposed. Read the EI article>
This is John Lewis’ response so far:
“ While I am sure a number of John Lewis’ customers may share these views, equally I am sure others would not and it is for this reason that John Lewis always seeks to remain non-aligned. In our view, it is not the place of John Lewis to decide which of these views is right or wrong nor do we believe it is our place to make such a decision on behalf of our customers.
We are aware of the complex nature of the situation in Israel and the West Bank and we believe international bodies such as the United Nations, working with national governments, are best placed to resolve these issues. Therefore, you will understand that any decision to stop stocking Sodastream products in the future would be made solely on commercial grounds by our buying teams.”
Please urge John Lewis to stop stocking Sodastream products immediately
