In a letter to Paradis, the group urged her “to take this opportunity to take a stand on an issue crucial to human rights and as such, to human lives as well.” Describing the Israeli Army as “control[ling] everyday Palestinian life, at the barrel of a gun,” and as having spent “over 60 years...murdering, maiming, arresting civilians, all the while stealing their lands by extreme and brutal force,” the letter said that if Paradis performed in Israel “it will have the effect of contributing to Israel’s image of normality” and of “allow[ing] the state of Israel to use your reputation to whitewash its crimes!”[2] Boycott from Within has also targeted British Telecom for its business relationship with Israeli company Bezeq.[2] Boycott from Within joined forces with the Indian BDS group InCACBI to protest the involvement of Israel’s Cameri Theatre in the Delhi International Arts Festival in November 2012.[12] Boycott from Within took part in an unsuccessful effort by a broad-based group of BDS activists to persuade the Red Hot Chili Peppers to cancel a 2012 performance in Tel Aviv.[13] Boycott from Within unsuccessfully petitioned organizers of London’s 2012 Globe to Globe Shakespeare festival to cancel a performance by Israel’s national theater company, Habima. The company was invited to stage The Merchant of Venice as part of a series of performances of 37 Shakespeare plays, each performed in a different language by a different theater group.[14]
