Dadoo added that all peaceful efforts, including boycotts and divestment aimed at holding these entities accountable for their support of Israel’s crimes against Palestinians, are justified and called for. It sustained its call for Cape Union Mart to be boycotted too saying that the company's chairperson, Philip Krawitz, is a member of the board of governors of the Jewish Agency for Israel, which along with the World Zionist Organisation, the Jewish National Fund and Keren Hayesod, are the four pillars of Israel and all enjoy a special legal status. Since the 1920s, the objective of these organisations has been to fund and enable the Zionist colonial settlement of Palestine.
The coalition said the company buys its tomato seedlings from Hishtil, an Israeli company with two nurseries in Limpopo and the Western Cape - and five in Israel in areas from which the Palestinians have been forcibly removed since 1947.
