Activists plant trees in luxury cosmetics store linked to Israeli land grabs

28 May 2011

International activists today occupied a Greek branch of luxury cosmetics store Estee Lauder in protest against its chairman's involvement with Israeli ethnic cleansing and occupation in Palestine. This is the latest in the growing campaign against the Jewish National Fund (JNF), a Zionist organisation which facilitates the transfer of Palestinian land to Jews while parading as an environmental charity.

Six members of performance arts group Land Annexation Society entered the store in Thessanoliki, Greece dressed in suits as members of the JNF and proceeded to "plant" trees over the Estee Lauder shop space on Saturday, 28th May.  Flyers were distributed to shoppers and staff informing them that "this Estee Lauder space is currently being rezoned".
