Is she distancing herself from Oxfam because she really believes the BDS movement is repugnant and reeks of anti-Semetism, OR is it because her upcoming SodaStream gig is too good an offer to pass up?

Depends on whether she has a business manager or not. A smart celebrity keeps their mouth shut about politics, even if they are a liberal. Pissing off a few million potential conservative, Jewish, or other people isn’t good box office.

Interesting—My guess is that the folks busting her chops expected that she would abandon SodaStream.

Good for her.

Good for her. True, it may be due to a good business decision, but still, she is doing the right thing supporting Israel.

As violently anti-Israel as the media is these days, I think it showed quite a bit of courage for her to come to this decision.

From press releases, she seems to pretty well get it, that Arabs and Israelis are working side by side for the same pay and the same workplace rules.

To my way of thinking, this is the road to real peace. So it’s my take in this instance she has done more for true peace than all the Leftist so-called pro-Palestinian big mouths ever have.

For now I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt.

The anti-Soda Stream people are nuts. Last year they stormed a hardware store in San Francisco, getting into the faces of employees and customers alike.

Either way, I’m impressed. Though wasn’t she in love with Barack?

SJ is typically near the top of the list of politically ignorant, but she has this one very right.

So a business which provides jobs increases poverty?

Come on people. Where are the pics for this lovely lady who has stuck her beautiful neck out for the people of Israel (and probably millions of dollars in advertising revenue)?

Please!

Um... she’s quite liberal. This may be a flash of sanity, or completely self serving.

I wanted to like her, or at least like looking at her... I really did.

Oxfam just gets better and better. Who was the FReeper who was approvingly quoting their “stats” about income inequality the other day?

I think she is a heroine and needs support.

You might want to tell OXFAM exactly what you think of their racist policies:

I just clicked on this thread to read the comments. I had no idea there would be pictures.

Put this one in the “stopped clock / blind pig” category. Otherwise, she’s a typical Lib.
