Unwittingly, the money-hungry Scarlett Johansson has managed to put the whole question of BDS into the world's media. My blog, http://bit.ly/boycottscarlettjohansson, has gone viral, and the email in-tray of Johansson's agent ((Bryan Lourd<https://pro-labs.imdb.com/name/nm1469561/> : blo...@caa.com) is full of messages saying we'll switch channels during the Superbowl when she comes on to promote products made in the illegal Israeli settlements. Please add you voice to the campaign and copy this message as widely as possible. Her "Her" movie is up for an Academy Award, Let's do everything in our power to deny her that honour. We're on a winning streak here. Let's build the campaign. You know it makes sense.
