You may well ask. She has just announced that she has relinquished her role as an ambassador for OXFAM because of that charity's opposition to Soadstream factories operating in the illegal settlements on Israel's West Bank, ie the militarily occupied part of Israel some people refer to as Palestine. She also fronts the Sodastream company's advertising campaign you see, so there's a conflict of interest for our blonde lovely to grapple with..
I have a question for you, Scarlett: Considering how you're already worth millions and millions of dollars, how come you think it's right to stick with a company that helps perpetuate the illegal settlements in the West Bank, rather than supporting one of the most widely respected charities in the world, and one that has clearly identified those settlements as being a fundamental part of the problem in that region: settlements which have been branded illegal by the UN and the EU, and with which even Israel's greatest ally the US has expressed its deepest misgivings.
So, Scarlett: are you really that greedy and money grabbing, or have you simply been conned by the schmoozers at Soadastream, who've told you not to worry your sweet little head about things like this and concentrate on fluffy little kittens instead?
You've lost my support, lady, and I won't be going to see one your films again until further notice- or until you grow up and realise that with your position of great power comes great responsibility. Try exercising that responsibility, go to the naughty step and think about what you've done.
