Pro-palestine singalong The Boycott Song

by The Bicycle Thieves Socialist Choir

(To the tune of Bye Bye Love)

 

To help the people of Palestine
We won’t buy grapefruit or Israeli wine
And if you’re wondering what you can do
Please join the boycott and help them too

Chorus:
(So we say) Don’t buy dates
(Oh don’t buy) Don’t buy Jaffa fruit
Don’t buy Israeli wine
There’s a boycott going on

Their land’s been taken and occupied
Their houses bulldozed and farms destroyed
The Western powers send arms with glee
While Israel acts with impunity

Check sweet potatoes, avocados too
If they’re from Israel you know what to do
Just read the barcodes — those little lines
Things made in Israel start 7 2 9

Tell all your neighbours: ”Please don’t be shy
Read all the labels before you buy
You have the power each time you shop
Israel’s apartheid has got to stop”

To help the people of Palestine
We won’t buy grapefruit or Israeli wine
And if you’re wondering what you can do
Please join the boycott and help them too
