Boycott PUMA.


Tomorrow, October 26, groups in more than 20 countries are joining the 2nd #BoycottPuma Global Day of Action.

Puma is the main sponsor of the Israel Football Association, which includes teams in illegal Israeli settlements pushing Palestinian families off their land.

Puma continues to claim a “devotion to universal equality” and talks about the values of the “Puma Family.”

Israel’s expanding illegal settlements have a devasting impact on Palestinian families.


Israel’s military occupation expels Palestinian families, including children, from their homes to give way for these settlements. Its apartheid walls and military checkpoints separate families from their land and from each other. Israel’s home demolitions and forced evictions cause Palestinian families to live in a constant state of terror.

Do You Own Puma Sportswear? Join #RebrandPuma!

Supporters of Palestinian human rights who purchased Puma gear before Puma’s sponsorship deal with the IFA have been "rebranding" their Puma clothing, shoes, hats and bags. By writing “Boycott” over the Puma logo, they are advertising their support the call from Palestinian athletes. Join them!

Puma's image is its most treasured asset. 

Let Puma know on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram that you support the call from Palestinian athletes to #BoycottPuma.

Louise Ellman and the continuing campaign to smear Jeremy Corbyn.


 Since August of 2018 I have drawn attention to what I believe is a planned, and coordinated campaign by a few members of the Jewish lobby and their supporters to discredit Jeremy Corbyn with accusations of anti semitism. Initially these charges were made directly against Corbyn but failed to gain any traction because of the man’s lifetime history of opposition to any form of religious or racist hatred or discrimination on the grounds of sexuality or colour.
 Instead they have since tried to smear him by accusing him of failing to deal with those disgraceful few in the Labour Party ( so far the official figures show that it is 0.18% of the total membership ) who have been proven guilty ( by due democratic and legal process) of shameful anti semitic behaviour. It has been no coincidence that these accusations have occurred at times when they believed that they could do maximum damage to his chances of becoming Prime Minister.
 Amongst others those involved are some members of the British Board of Jewish Deputies, Tom Watson, Luciana Berger, Mike Gapes and Margaret Hodge - all M.P. ‘s and the Guardian’s Michael Frayn.
 The latest effort, which has been timed deliberately to cause maximum damage, just before a general election, is the resignation of Louise Ellman M. P. from the Labour Party and the disgraceful comments made in her resignation letter. Don’t expect that this is the last throw of the dice by this  discredited group and expect more from them and,  in particular from Margaret Hodge. Watch this space.
