"It's great that someone's standing up to them at last"

That was the frequent response from passers-by in Western Road, Brighton to the pro-Israel counter-demonstraters outside the Ecostream shop on Saturday. It seems that people are thoroughly exasperated with the antics of the anti-Israel Loony Left there, led by Rabbi's son and Stalinist, Tony Greenstein - the man who suggested that anti-Zionists should try to rig a JC poll, so that they can falsely paint Jews as racists:

We gave out at least 1000 fliers as an antidote to the lies of the PSC and the response was phenomenal - most people supported us. Meanwhile Greenstein and other Israel-haters were warned several times by the Police for blocking the entrance to the shop.
In terms of numbers we had as many activists as the PSC - our numbers included some Christian Zionists.
Come the rain, the PSC of course rushed for cover.....
Daniel Birnbaum, CEO of Sodastream, says he will take legal action to clear protesters from the front of the shop:

A few more drops of light rain and he won't need to!

It makes more money on demo days than any other time. Despite all your photographing and ad hominem insults, you are losing and we are winning. That is all that counts. |

I know nothing of the new board of the Gaza Freedom Movement but the issue of breaking the siege is of far more importance than what Greta is alleged to have done. I've made my position clear but Greta assures me she had never made an anti-Semitic comment in her life and I'm happy to believe her. It's like revolving doors . One antisemite out and one in . |

Mon, 10/15/2012 - 13:35 Rate this: 0 points | Stupid, certainly. But illegal? As long as the protesters have a permit to demonstrate outside and do not go beyond the T&Cs, it's not illegal. |

If you really want the sugary carbonated drink maker, you can get cubic gallons of the stuff online or instore at Lakeland so why bother with Brighton?
And calling it an "eco" product is stretching it a bit - those ingredients (Carbonated Water (water, carbon dioxide), sugar, Food Acid (citric Acid-330), Acidity regulator (sodium citrate-331), Flavour, Non-nutritive sweeteneres (Acesulfame Potassium, Sucralose), Preservative (Sodium Benzoate -211) are hardly eco.
