TP: Boykott, Desinvestment und Sanktionen - 0 views

  • Israel gerät durch die internationale Boykottkampagne zunehmend unter Druck Die Meldungen über Boykottinitiativen, den Abzug von Investitionen aus oder Sanktionen gegen Israel häufen sich. Im September hat der britische Gewerkschaftsverband TUC auf Antrag der Gewerkschaft der Feuerwehrleute den Boykott aller Produkte aus israelischen Siedlungen beschlossen und die Einstellung der Waffenlieferungen an Israel sowie die Aussetzung des Assoziierungsabkommens der EU mit Israel gefordert. Im selben Monat wurde in Spanien eine in der Westbanksiedlung Ariel gelegene Hochschule von einem akademischen Wettbewerb zur nachhaltigen Stadtentwicklung ausgeschlossen. In Brasilien sprach sich die für Außenpolitik und nationale Verteidigung zuständige parlamentarische Kommission gegen die Ratifizierung des Mercosur-Freihandelsabkommens mit Israel aus. In der Schweiz hat anläßlich des WM-Qualifikationsspiels zwischen Israel und der Schweiz gerade eine Kampagne zum Ausschluß Israels aus der FIFA begonnen.

  • n Frankreich setzen Aktivist/inn/en die Carrefour-Supermarktkette, im Vereinigten Königreich die Tesco-Supermärkte und in den USA Trader Joe unter Druck, israelische Waren aus ihrem Sortiment zu nehmen.
  • In Europa und den USA gehören kritische jüdische Gruppen neben den Migrantencommunities zu den aktivsten Teilen der BDS-Bewegung. Das spiegelt die zunehmende Entfremdung der jüdischen Communities von der israelischen Politik bzw. dem Zionismus wider. Auch einige israelische Organisationen und Persönlichkeiten wie zum Beispiel das Alternative Information Center und der Menschenrechtsaktivist Neve Gordon rufen zum Boykott auf. Das macht es für die israelische Regierung und prozionistische pressure groups sehr schwer, wenn nicht unmöglich, die BDS-Kampagne mit einiger Glaubwürdigkeit als antisemitisch denunzieren zu können.

  • Die BDS-Kampagne hat bereits einige Erfolge erreicht. Schon im Februar 2009 meldete die israelische Presse, daß der Verkauf israelischer Waren aufgrund des Boykotts um 21% zurückgegangen ist.
  • Diese Entwicklung wird von israelischen und US-amerikanischen Zionisten als äußerst bedrohlich angesehen. Der Journalist Ethan Bronner beschrieb die Situation bereits im März 2009 in der New York Times als die schlimmste diplomatische Krise, die Israel in den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten erlebt hat. Der israelische Botschafter in den USA, Michael Oren, bezeichnete die Boykottkampagne im Mai in einem Artikel der neokonservativen Zeitschrift "Commentary" sogar als eine der "sieben existentiellen Bedrohungen" Israels.
  • Das israelische Außenministerium hat Gelder zur Verfügung gestellt, um Israels Ansehen in der Welt durch kulturelle und informelle Diplomatie zu verbessern. Israel hat seit 2006 bereits mehrere Millionen Dollar in eine "rebranding"-Kampagne gesteckt, mit der das Image des Landes aufpoliert werden sollte- bisher ohne Erfolg. Arye Mekel, stellvertretender Generaldirektor für kulturelle Angelegenheiten im israelischen Außenministerium, kündigte im März an, daß Israel bekannte Schriftsteller, Theaterensembles und Ausstellungen ins Ausland schicken wird, um Israels "hübscheres Gesicht" zu zeigen, damit das Land nicht nur mit Krieg in Verbindung gebracht wird[2]. Beispiele für Israels Propagandaauftritte nach dem Krieg sind die "Tel Aviv- Strände", die in Wien und New York aufgebaut wurden, um Israel mit Parties und Spaß in Verbindung zu bringen.

Mmm, mmm good -- at social responsibility | delawareonline.com | The News Journal - 0 views

  • two global surveys conducted in 2008 by Mc- Kinsey. "How Virtue Creates Value for Business and Society" stated, among other conclusions, that while investors often see corporate responsibility as part of the company's long-term strategy, 50 percent of corporate responsibility officers surveyed view it primarily as avoiding trouble, rather than a positive force for change.


  • Campbell has a presence in 120 countries with such brands as V8, Pepperidge Farm, Goldfish crackers and Franco-American sauces. Last year, it ranked second among American companies perceived by the U.S. public as the most socially responsible, according to the Corporate Social Responsibility Index of the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship and the Reputation Institute.
  • At Wharton, Stangis focused on an enduring challenge for corporate responsibility professionals: building and maintaining support within one's own company, especially in a recession, when indiscriminate do-gooding will invariably raise eyebrows among cost-conscious colleagues.

    • The multinational manufacturing giants were trying to cope with changes in technology and demographics which threatened to make them obsolete. Top managements in publicly owned US companies, regardless of size and performance, cowered under the threat of the corporate raider and his ultimate weapon, the junk bond.
    • Corporate capitalism promised that the large corporation would be run in the interests of the greater number of stakeholders. Instead, it was being pushed into a subordinate role – away from its market standing, its technology, and its basic wealth-producing capacity and into immediate earnings and next week’s stock price. A Marxist would call this turn of events “speculator’s capitalism.”
    • Meantime, Bill Gates has come up with a solution as to how billions of dollars generated through capitalism can help people in the poor nations which the world has forgotten. He termed it creative capitalism. He believed that some corporations have identified brand-new markets among the poor for life-changing technologies like cell phones. Others have seen how they can do good and do well at the same time.

    • social entrepreneurs are starting companies rather than non-profit organizations, to capitalize on public benefit. To top it all, some of these entrepreneurs choose a new corporate structure that requires enterprises to build into their foundation strong social and environmental standards for their operations.
    • Corporate America has discovered that social responsibility attracts investment capital as well as customer loyalty, creating a virtuous cycle. Companies are now talking about a triple bottom line – profit, planet, and people – that focuses on how to run a business while trying to improve environmental and working conditions. Some companies have embraced the new ethos.
    • Through Bono’s persistence, the (RED) campaign was launched and today Gap, Hallmark, and Dell, among others, sell (RED)-branded products and donate a portion of their profits to fight AIDS.
    • None of this could have happened without consumer demand. In a survey conducted, half of Americans polled said that protecting the environment should be given priority over economic growth – to think that the survey was done amidst a recession and unprecedented record unemployment. Consumers are doing their own calculations and they would prefer comparatively more expensive cars that get better gas mileage, will save them money in the long run, and make them feel good in the process. Walmart, once the poster child of ruthlessness, a retailer whose business in the past was to undercut all its competitors, has resolved to change its way of doing business for the sake of the future of the planet.
    • These days, some companies are cutting back on their philanthropy but not on their Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives

        How true is this? There are many examples (e.g. BP) of corporations cutting back on CSR.

      Why can't President Obama stop the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? Why can't he get the Israelis and Palestinians to stop squabbling and make peace? Why can't he get the Europeans to contribute more troops to fight the Taliban in Afghanistan? Why can't he forge a global treaty to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases? Why can't he . . . well, you get the point. Obama, it turns out, is not Superman.

    The Death of News | The Nation - 0 views

    •  
      Ten years ago, when we first focused national attention on the dangers of the US media cartel, the situation was already grim, although in retrospect it may seem better than it really was. In the spring of 1996 Fox News was only a conspiracy (which broke a few months later). CNN belonged to Turner Broadcasting, which hadn't yet been gobbled by Time Warner (although it would be just a few months later); Viacom had not yet bought CBS News (although it would in 1999, before they later parted ways); and, as the Telecommunications Act had been passed only months earlier, local radio had not yet largely disappeared from the United States (although it was obviously vanishing). One could still somewhat plausibly assert, as many did, that warnings of a major civic crisis were unfounded, overblown or premature, as there was little evidence of widespread corporate censorship, and so we were a long way from the sort of journalistic meltdown that The Nation had predicted.
