“Today the Israeli government continues seizures of Palestinian land for settlements, military incursions into surrounding countries and denial of the right of Palestinians expelled by terror to return. Ariel Sharon, Israel's prime minister, is a war criminal who should be in prison, not in office.

“Thousands of years ago, man lived in harmony with the rest of the natural world.

At a time when more than one billion people are denied the very minimum requirements of human dignity, business cannot afford to be seen as the problem.
