A British supermarket chain is at the center of an anti-Semitism row, after a Jewish shopper found that the Kosher section had been completely removed, and was told by the store manager that Kosher food has been taken down because "We support Gaza."
Anti-Israel demonstrators had picketed the branch of Sainsbury's in Holborn, central London, part o fa pattern of aggressive calls to boycott Jewish-made Israeli goods - calls that often spilled over into violence.
In one incident Saturday, anti-Israel activists trashed a Tesco store in Hodge Hill while waving Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) flags, throwing produce on the ground and closing the establishment for several minutes. Likewise protests outside Tesco stores in Greater Manchester, Blackburn and Luton were reported.
The Sainsbury's move to empty the Kosher section was discovered that same Saturday by Jewish actor Colin Appleby, who posted a photo of the empty shelves on his Facebook page.
Appleby recounted what he had been told by the store manager, triggering a firestorm of criticism with many noting that a significant proportion of the Kosher goods were not even from Israel, and that the move amounted to pure anti-Semitism as it clearly targeted Jewish shoppers.

It seemed such a good idea at the time to open the border of the Western countries to flood them with immigrants from completely failed primitive societies and radicalize them to leftist political aims of equality nonsense, damn what could go wrong with that?
Would they clean halal section over ISIS violence too?
If I could go back into time and put some lead in some heads it would have to be 1965 and the medicatees would be Hart-Cellar.
I wonder what British Leftists think of this "tolerance"?
So, they did not remove their Kosher section to "support Gaza", they removed it to avoid having their store torched by violent Islamic savages.
that is twisted, I wouldn’t want a world without Israel, Judaism, etc, besides God is on their side
Liberals in America are constantly lecturing us `bitter clinger rubes’ about what the rest of the world thinks of us and how we are a laughingstock in the international community & that foreign tourists avoid coming to America because of `all those guns out there’.
Strange - I feel safer here than I would in not-so-jolly olde England. In London, the muzzies go where they please and strike where they please, to quote that odd duck T.E. Lawrence.
In other words, why should I travel? I’m already here. In my small Southern state the muzzies keep vewy vewy quiet. All those Bible quoting CCW toting rednecks out there, I guess.
Sainsbury’s = yuppie food. Sickening, but doesn’t surprise me.
This is all over facebook. I have British friends (Christian) who are going out to stores and buying up Kosher foods. This is not only disgusting, it’s stupid. There are two stores doing this, one being Sainsbury. I can’t remember the other one, it may be Tesco’s but I could be mistaken.
There’s an online interview with the manager of Sainsbury’s who did this and he says no, he wouldn’t remove halal products.
What state are you in?
“How, we wonder in my time,” he said softly, “can you ignore the better part of a billion people who say aloud that they are willing to kill your children . . . or condone and celebrate the killing of them? And ignore them as they act on what they say? We do not understand you.”

I wonder what’s next. Boycott Marks and Soencet because it was founded by a Jew?
I worked and lived in London for a bit. This story really saddens me.
Whoops. That should be Marks and Spencer.
Tesco, Britain’s largest supermarket retail chain, was founded by a Jew too, Joseph ‘Jack’ Cohen...
Very stupid. Will they eat halal food to show their support for the bearded savages?
At least the Jews now know where not to shop!
I didn’t know that. Glad I did most of my shopping at Tescos, when I lived there.
