B’nai B’rith, ORT and WIZO in Brazil have been placed on the Arab boycott blacklist, according to Adolpho Bloch, the publisher of a number of prestigious magazines, including “Manchete,” the illustrated weekly which has worldwide circulation. In an article published in Manchete, Bloch also expressed alarm about the capitulation of a number of leading Brazilian firms to the boycott and noted at the same time that a number of important firms in Brazil have been placed on the boycott list after refusing to comply with the boycott regulations. Among the latter are Ford Motor Co.; Xerox Corp. Sears Roebuck; Helena Rubinstein; and Antartica Products, which sells soft drinks and beer, because the firm’s symbol is similar to the Star of David.
