“BDS is not a principle but a strategy; it is not against Israelbut against Israeli policy; when the policy changes BDS will end.BDS is not about a particular solution to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict,but the demand that Israel abide by international law and UN resolutions.”– Neve Gordon, July 2010
Why boycott Sabra Hummus? Sabra Hummus is owned by Sabra Dipping Company, a joint venture company of Pepsi and Strauss Group. Strauss Group, an Israeli based corporation, is well known for its vigorous support of the Israeli Defense Forces, particularly the Golani Brigade, which has a history of severe human rights abuses against Palestinian and Lebanese people. Breaking the Silence, an organization of veteran Israeli soldiers, collects testimonies of soldiers who served in the Occupied Territories during the Second Intifada and has highlighted numerous cases of Golani Brigade involvement in human rights abuses.
Why Boycott Tribe Hummus? Tribe Mediterranean Food products is a Massachusetts-based company that is owned by the Osem Group, an Israeli corporation. Osem is a key supporter and partner of the Jewish National Fund, which has been the essential partner of the Israeli government and the army in building the infrastructure of the Occupation of the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem — building Jewish-only roads and expanding Jewish settlements on Palestinian land.
In support of human rights, the Philadelphia Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement has called for a boycott of Tribe and Sabra Hummus. We ask individuals, organizations and companies to refrain from buying, stocking and using these hummus products, profits from which support and sustain the Israeli military, the displacement of Palestinians and the ongoing occupation that is the greatest obstacle to peace with justice.
