The Israeli Embassy in the US tweeted their support today for Scarlett Johansson. The actress is facing intense criticism from American progressives, led by Susie “Medea” Benjamin’s CodePink (pictured above, left) who are outraged at her support for a Jewish company in Israel.
Love this, & Scarlett Johansson // @SodaStreamUSA: She just loves helping people! http://t.co/LXENxpcbfL #SB48 #Superbowl #Israel

For their part, CodePink tweeted out a chant:
Occupation isn’t sexy; occupation isn’t green. Don’t buy SodaStream http://t.co/Mgfy7YX3vm #SB48 #NoScarJo

Parting thought: Boycotting Jewish businesses was very popular in Germany near the middle of the previous century. Just saying.
