"Blood On Your Hands!" Message To Scarlett Johansson From George Galloway + Scarlett Johansson Quits Oxfam To Support Apartheid Gulag

UK BANNED Press TV: The international humanitarian organization Oxfam has announced that American actress Scarlett Johansson resigned as an Oxfam Global Ambassador after advertising for an Israeli company.
Accepting the resignation, the group said on Thursday that the company operating in Israeli settlements in the West Bank contributes to the "denial of rights of the Palestinian communities that we work to support."

 

According to the charity, Oxfam opposes all trade from the Israeli settlements "which are illegal under international law."
The announcement came one day after the Hollywood actress said she was resigning her Oxfam role because of “a fundamental difference of opinion.”
"Scarlett Johansson has respectfully decided to end her ambassador role with Oxfam after eight years," a statement from Johansson's spokesman said.

"She and Oxfam have a fundamental difference of opinion in regards to the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement.”
Johansson has come under pressure for advertising products for SodaStream that produces drinks.
The controversial company runs its main site in the occupied Palestinian territories. The actress is to appear in the ad during the Super Bowl on Sunday.
