AMP, interfaith coalition, kicks off SodaStream boycott Super Bowl Sunday

Boycott endorsed by MAS Outreach

The American Muslims for Palestine, as part of the national Interfaith Boycott Coalition, is calling for a boycott of SodaStream carbonated beverage makers, which are produced in an Israeli settlement in the occupied Palestinian West Bank. 

The Interfaith Boycott Coalition, which consists of representatives of Jewish, Christian and Muslim organizations, is kicking off its boycott campaign to coincide with SodaStream’s Super Bowl commercial, which will be featured during the national NFL event on Feb. 3. Join the boycott by signing the petition, calling on consumers and stores to stop buying and selling SodaStream. The signatures eventually will be presented to targeted retailers in attempts to get them to remove SodaStream from their shelves. 

 The boycott has been endorsed by MAS Outreach.

“While MAS has always stood for justice and will continue to do so, as MAS Outreach Chicago Director and MAS PACE (public affairs and civic engagement) Interfaith Coordinator, I strive to place people of faith into responsible action,” said MAS Outreach Director Karen Danielson. “It is my commitment and recommendation to our membership to stand with the many other faith communities to boycott Sodastream on Super Bowl Sunday as it continues to profit while ignoring the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and operates in an illegal settlement in the West Bank.”

For years, interfaith cooperation was often confined to dialogue circles strictly avoiding discussion of Israel’s discriminatory policies for fear of offending someone. This new interfaith community represents a different model, one that stands on common values of freedom, justice, and equality. This is what real interfaith cooperation looks like. 

Anyone can sign the petition of support for this boycott campaign. Please sign today!
