This has just come to my attention - though it appears to have come about in 2002. The Body Shop seems to have declared themselves against Israel by giving money to a pro-Palestinian group.
On Tuesday 29th October 2002, The Body Shop Human Rights Award marked the achievements of these grassroots organisations who have each demonstrated exceptional bravery and creativity in protecting and promoting the housing rights of the marginalized. [emphasis mine]Though this is their right, it certainly doesn't bode well for their sales.
I know I won't be shopping there anymore.
