Subject: Boycott campaign claims "Jewish groups such as B'Tselem and Gush
Shalom have launched their own boycott Israeli goods campaigns."
Importance: High
Dear Sirs,
I want to bring to your attention that the website of a UK boycott group -
www.bigcampaign.org - asserts on the main page of their website that "Jewish
groups such as B'Tselem and Gush Shalom have launched their own boycott
Israeli goods campaigns."
Kindly advise what steps B'Tselem is taking to have this claim removed from
this website.
Best regards,
Aaron Lerner - IMRA www.imra.org.il

Dear Mr. Lerner,
Thank you for alerting us to this website. B'Tselem does not support a
boycott of Israeli products, and we will write directly to this organization
to ensure that our name is removed from their site.
Sincerely,
Risa Zoll
