A girl used to think homosexuality was wrong, but when she found out a good
friend was gay she wanted to be supportive. The story here.
If what your country is doing seems to you practically and morally wrong, dissent is the highest form of patriotism.

Stolen Beauty
Dear Friends,
Not sure if you know about Ahava Dead Sea Laboratories—it’s an Israeli company that makes bath salts, sun screen, foot scrubs and other high-end products sold in pharmacies and department stores. Ahava promises “Beauty Secrets from the Dead Sea.” But wait until you hear those secrets!
Because Ahava is hiding the ugly truth—its products actually come from stolen Palestinian natural resources in the Occupied Territory of the Palestinian West Bank, and are produced in the illegal settlement of Mitzpe Shalem. Don’t let the “Made in Israel” sticker fool you—when you buy Ahava products you help finance the destruction of hope for a peaceful and just future for both Israelis and Palestinians.
Ahava puts a pretty face on its crimes, even paying Oxfam Ambassador and “Sex in the City” star Kristen Davis to be its spokeswoman. But here’s what Oxfam itself has to say about Ahava’s deceptive packaging:
"The settlements on the West Bank are illegal under international humanitarian law and that creates a lot of problems for the Palestinians that live there.”
"Consumers that are buying produce that are grown in illegal settlements need to have that information so that they can make an informed choice."
Don’t the facts about Ahava make your skin crawl? For instant relief visit CODEPINK’s www.stolenbeauty.org today, and sign up to help get the word out to Kristen and our communities—real beauty is more than skin deep!
