We are just 24 short of 8000 signatures on the Boycott L'Oreal Petition as of this moment! We should be 80% of the way soon to 10,000 before our BDS for The Return Campaign submits the petition to L'Oreal and expects a reply. Onward! Sign if you haven't. And invite ALL your contacts to do the same. Until Return! The petition is posted at http://www.causes.com/actions/1727567-loreal-must-shut-down-its-plant-in-migdal-haemek BACKGROUND The town of Migdal HaEmek was built on the ruins of the Palestinian village of Al-Mujaydil (????????) which was depopulated of its Palestinian Arab residents by the invading Zionists in 1948. The village, which is located near Nazareth in the northern part of Palestine, was rebuilt and renamed Migdal HaEmek and now has 24,000 Jewish settlers living in it. Prior to the ethnic cleansing and destruction of Al-Mujaydil, 18,165 out of 18,836 dounams of the land of al-Mujaydil were privately owned by Palestinian Arabs, and the remainder was largely public village lands. The villagers were expelled and have since been denied their right to return to their homes and lands. L'Oreal's plant is located on private illegally occupied land, and was erected without permission of its owners. Thus, the company is conducting business in violation of international law. It is trespassing on privately-owned property. ACT NOW Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition calls on all its members and supporters to demand that L'Oreal shut down and dismantle its plants in Israel and stop profiting from its operations on land stolen from Palestinian refugees without permission of the owners. Please sign the petition at http://www.causes.com/causes/1752-palestinian-refugees-right-to-return-al-awda/actions/1727567 and boycott all L'Oreal products. Help us spread this message.
