TO THE L'OREAL COMPANY:

In light of your recent bid to acquire The Body Shop, I am writing to you as a former shopper at The Body Shop, to make you aware of The Body Shop's support for PLO causes and its failure to make amends.

The Body Shop's Support For The PLO

http://www.geocities.com/truthmasters/TheBodyShopProtest.html

In 2001 The Body Shop gave an entire day's revenues from its Gulf Stores to "Palestine" and will not say who exactly received the funds.

In 2002 The Body Shop gave an award of $75,000 to an extremist anti-Israel group that advocates a "Palestinian right to return" to Israel.

In 2004 The Body Shop attempted to cover up its controversial award by deleting the several pages on its website which gave details of it. However, they failed to realize that there are still copies of their web pages available on the Internet.

The Petition

As a result, many thousands of former shoppers of The Body Shop worldwide refuse to buy any more of their products.

A few of the many thousands of outraged former shoppers of The Body Shop have also signed a petition to make public their displeasure with the company.

Making Amends

We want to be fair to the L'Oreal company.

We would like L'Oreal to clarify its position with regard to these past offensive actions of The Body Shop and to clarify L'Oreal's attitudes towards Israel.

We would also like an assurance that no further outrageous actions supporting PLO causes will be made.

We would like to see L'Oreal have The Body Shop satisfy the demands of the petition, namely:

1. Withdraw the award, and disavow a "Palestinian right to return" and the PLO and its goals;

2. Apologize to the many millions of supporters of Israel worldwide that it has offended;

3. Make a substantial gift to Israeli victims of PLO terrorism.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

David
Petition Writer and Former Shopper of The Body Shop
