Videos of Adelaide actions (direct and otherwise) against Israeli apartheid

The Adelaide based organisation Action For Palestine and a number of other independent activists organised an action against the Israeli cosmetics company SEACRET. This action was taken as part of the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign which seeks to end Israel's apartheid policies against the Palestinians (see http://www.bdsmovement.net/ for more info).

The anti-Israeli apartheid movement in Adelaide has chosen SEACRET as one of the primary targets for their campaigns. SEACRET takes minerals and other resources used in their products from an area of the Dead Sea which is under occupation by the Israeli military. Palestinians are in many cases excluded from even entering these areas.

SEACRET have a number of stalls across Adelaide. These include a large semi-permanent position at the Adelaide Myer Centre in the Adelaide CBD and a number of other smaller stalls in shopping centres through out suburban Adelaide. The Adelaide based organisation Australian Friends of Palestine Association (AFOPA) have organised over 6 months of continuous weekly pickets outside the Adelaide Myer centre.

In recent weeks, after activists from various organisations applied pressure to the Unley Shopping management, the SEACRET stall it was hosting moved to another location, Ingle Farm Shopping Centre. On the Thursday March 31, activist took action against SEACRET's newly established presence at Ingle Farm. These actions are designed primarily to disrupt commerce and make SEACRET an undesirable tenant. Video of an action taken at Ingle Farm Shopping Centre:

Disruptive actions are coupled with other actions primarily designed to educate such as film screenings, leafleting and presentations. A video of an AFP presentation: http://www.vimeo.com/21062409
