a proud nazi would you do business with the company if they said that their CEOs nazi activities were a private matter not related to the company even though they proudly displayed his award for best nazi on their company website?
They go on to claim, at the bottom of the page, that their campaign has been successful:
We are proud to announce that, following a series of discussions with Oxfam regarding its agreement with pro-Zionist multinational coffee chain Starbucks, Oxfam has decided that it will not be renewing its 1 year contract with Starbucks, which terminates this September.
We would like to thank all activists and organisations who have campaigned to ensure Oxfam adheres to its stated values and principles. This victory shows what is possible when people come together and stand united in the struggle for justice.
Ah yes, the struggle for justice.
Personally I think this should be taken with several spoonfuls of salt. The “series of discussions with Oxfam” most likely consisted of a number of the sample letters being sent, and being duly ignored by Oxfam after their courteous replies only produced more ranting. Here’s Oxfam’s announcement. No mention of the Boycott Israel Campaign. The agreement was only for a year anyway. I don’t think we should be encouraging this organisation’s delusions about its effectiveness.
