Today, I have been looking at beauty products (because God knows I need them) and I came across this company called

Moroccan Oil

Moroccan Oil are sponsors of Eurovision.

"Well that's OK. They are based in Morocco, right?"

No, they are an Israeli company, based in the Negev desert, and were responsible for displacing 100s of Bedouin Palestinians, destroying their homes in the process as they sought to build their enormous factories.

@Geri I remember some folk warning about this either last year or this year, but had somehow mistakenly assumed Moroccan Oil was an oil company as in engine oil, petrol etc run by the Israelis (and that was why they wanted to take over Gaza and Lebanon get more oil resources)

The situation got a bit of publicity this time last year because it featured in an unsubtle allegory in a #DoctorWho episode.
