Item Description
Very last of No Sweat's organic cotton T-shirt produced at Palestinian owned factory on Virgin Mary Street in Bethlehem on the Occupied West Bank.
Graphic--"What we need is a two state solution and all we got was a lousy T-shirt!"
XL in slate gray double comber organic cotton. Produced by members of the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions.
Item Special Note
Dr. Martin Luther King
Praised by al Jazeera and the Jewish Advocate and everyone in between, this experiment in entrepreneurial diplomacy began during the 2006 war in Lebanon. It was the first of the economic initiatives after the 2nd intifada. "We found common ground for Jews, Muslims, Christians and atheists on Virgin Mary Street in Bethlehem! The atheist loved the fact that the only piece of common ground just happened to be completely secular--more good jobs for Palestinians in Palestine could only help. It kinda validated everybody in a way, just a little bit. Consumers of all persuasions loved it. But we never were able to find the investors of any persuasion to make it work. Funny, that." says, CEO and founder Adam Neiman.
And besides all its other redeeming qualities, it was a damned good T-shirt! C'est la guerre.
