We’re pissed, witches. Pissed off, that is. HUGELY fucking pissed off, that is. Because in just three days, a delegation of up to 40 IDF personnel will land in Australia to compete in the @sydmarathon. This reporting is from independent news organisation @MichaelWestBiz earlier today: “As many as 40 former and current IDF soldiers and associates are coming to Australia to compete in the Sydney Marathon on August 30, a trip sponsored by AIJAC and the Zionist Council of NSW. The series of events is likely to be controversial. Australian Chris Sidoti, UN Human Rights Investigator, has called for Israeli military personnel who have served in Gaza to be interrogated for war crimes. The events are showcased on the Zionist Council of NSW Facebook page and are being billed as a ‘peace delegation’.” michaelwest.com.au/idf-soldi… Fuck. The first few pics below are from Michael West’s Twitter feed, and they explain just why these current- and ex-soldiers coming here to compete is so outrageously horrific. So while other organisations are asking people to contact their MPs and Senators to ask why the fuck these murderous fuckbuckets are being granted visas (and you’re certainly free to do that), instead we’ll do what witches do, and ask you to ask the Sydney Marathon why on earth they’ve accepted this team as a competitor. Even more importantly, we’re asking you to contact these sponsors (taken from the Marathon’s own website at tcssydneymarathon.com/event-…) and ask why they’d want their brands associated with such bloodshed and depravity. We haven’t had time to provide contact details for these corporations, but please google yourself and politely get in touch with as many as possible: ASICS @ASICSaustralia Australian Olympic Committee Better Beer @BetterBeer Chemist Warehouse Clean Vibes Destination NSW @destinationnsw Feetures @Feetures Greater Sydney Parklands GU Hubspot iFit La Roche Posay Lifesavers Mark Your Moment No-Pure Nova Entertainment PainAway Porsche @Porsche Powerade SBS Shark/Ninja @SharkNinja Shokz Headphones Sydney Opera House TATA/TCS Consultancy Services @TCS Telstra @Telstra Therabody Toby’s Estate Transurban Up & Go Vaseline W Hotels @w_hotels YoPro Please do this as soon as you can, witches, because the event in question takes place this coming weekend. We need to ask some hard questions about what these companies are happy to be associated with, and why. As always, please send any responses you get to [email protected]. And if you don’t have time to write emails (or even if you do), please tag one or a lot of these companies in the thread below, to more quickly let them know what they’re doing to their brand safety. The vast majority of Australians support Jewish people, but strongly oppose the actions of the Israeli government and its genocidal armed forces. For this reason there is NO PLACE in this country for members of those armed forces here, particularly as a way to soften their image and endear themselves as a group to this marathon event. It’s despicable. And it’s wrong. And it shouldn’t be fucking happening. Please, do take action, witches. It matters. _______ We won’t stop till advertisers stop funding filth.
