Why shouldn't there be a boycott of Nike when China have apparently been detaining 1 million Muslims in internment camps? Can you explain why there shouldn't be a boycott there? Because they aren't pesky Joooos!

I think Nike are possibly the worst but any of them could have problems. I would never buy Nike stuff - then again I'm not a chav.

Are there any Palace fans out there who are disappointing that Palace have decided to wear Puma shirts?

The Campaign to Boycott Puma (part of the BDS) states that:

"Global sportswear manufacturer Puma is involved in violations of international law and human rights. Puma is the main sponsor of the Israel Football Association (IFA), which includes teams in Israel’s illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land.

Israel’s military occupation expels Palestinian families, including children, from their homes to give way for these settlements. Israeli settlements are considered war crimes under international law.

More than 200 Palestinian sports clubs have called on Puma to end the sponsorship deal and stop supporting Israel’s illegal land grabs.

Puma markets itself as a company that cares about equality yet it funds the apartheid the IFA helps sustain."

The campaign also states that

"As one of the world’s top athletic apparel makers and the only international sponsor of the Israel Football Association, Puma’s sponsorship brings international legitimacy to the IFA’s actions. The IFA, as documented by Human Rights Watch, includes football clubs based in illegal Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land.

Israeli settlements are illegal land grabs that form an integral part of Israel’s occupation infrastructure pushing indigenous Palestinian families off their land, robbing Palestinians of natural resources and denying Palestinians their right of movement.

Puma’s sponsorship of the IFA helps keep its direct involvement in violations of human rights and international law off the field, allowing Israel’s settlement regime to continue and expand.

The IFA has refused to take measures to end its complicity, despite being repeatedly condemned by UN advisors, dozens of elected officials, civil society and human rights groups representing millions and public figures."

Are there any other Palace fans out there who think this is a poor decision by Palace to wear a shirt made by Puma, while the brand seems to support a system built on illegal land grabs, ethnic cleansing, the operation of Apartheid against an indigenous population?

i didnt know all this. Going out to buy some Puma kit today.

P.S
The few jewish families i know are all broadly tolerant and accepting of their women dating/marrying fella's from a white English Christian/Atheist background.

So lets avoid all the antisemitism and let Love reign supreme.

I suppose you mean "leveller" in the same way that the corruption of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank equates to stealing a people's land and forcing them into basic prison camps while at the same time withholding water and electricity as the mood takes.

Or that Israeli snipers killing over 180 unarmed Palestinians and injuring more than 6,100 others with live ammunition is a leveler to people throwing rocks?

The Palestinian authority is little more than a puppet of Israel nowadays, doing it's dirty work in the 39% West Bank that it controls. It is not unusual for an occupying powers to use the citizens (if you can say that about landless Palestinians) of an occupied territory to enforce its rule.

But Israel has introduced Apartheid not the Palestinian authority and it is Israel that places illegal settlements on occupied land in flagrant disregard for international law.

A football club is a business and should only be interested in football matters, obeying the law and in perhaps supporting local community projects.

Yes he does, albeit ethical rather than policital. And your point is?

Presumably you don't agree with 'shaming' organisations, for example that don't pay their taxes or use child labour. Leave it to the free market? Not my problem?

And stop with this 'if you criticise the Israeli regime you are racist', it's simple spin.

And let’s not forget that company founder Rudi Dassler was a member of the Nazi party; presumably the corporate outlook has changed since his involvement.

Problem being that I'm pretty sure the origin of most clothing has some questionable aspects to it like child labour and the likes, so there will always be a reason to choose a different company, but would that be any better?

Hearing from inside sources that Maine, Maple & Wisbech are chained to the Selhurst Park gates wearing nothing but Adidas jockstraps, they also have Dan H there with a fold up table with pre made milkshakes so that if anyone approaches them they have a defacto means of defending themselves. Dan H has informed me he won't wear Adidas as it makes his scrotum itch so is sporting a New Balance one.............

Didn't you read my second paragraph?

Take your politics and apply it to political organizations.....keep it away from a football club in terms of expecting a form of political expression.

It isn't there to represent your view or my view it is there to follow the law and play football.....Not carry out what political partizans believe in.
