In April 2012, the Co-operative, Britain’s fifth-largest food retailer, declared it would no longer be importing agricultural produce from the territories or any Israeli supplier linked to produce from there. Five years earlier, retail giant Marks & Spencer announced that it was boycotting products from the West Bank, while the Tesco supermarket chain stopped marketing dates from the Jordan Valley.
And they are not alone: Over the past few years, numerous other companies from various countries around the world have announced some kind of a boycott of Israeli goods or companies.
"A consumer boycott of Israeli goods primarily affects agricultural and fresh produce, as it is marked as made in Israel," says Israel Export Institute chairman Ramzi Gabbay. "Most of the Israeli industrial exports are unmarked so even if there is a boycott, it's an unofficial one imposed by an individual business that prefers not to work with Israel."

“During Operation Protective Edge, Muslim customers went into the retail chains, particularly in Scandinavia and France, and threw our produce on the floor and sparked unrest.”
But they aren’t boycotting ISIS or Iran.
This angers me! And yet, where is the boycott of ME products from nations who constantly threaten Israel? What about boycotts to nations who sponsor the Muslim Brotherhood, or ISIS? The bottom line, as all Christians should remember is this: it is God they are against and Israel because she is His chosen people, His “wife” as Scriptures claim. If not for that, they’d enjoy life as any other country. What happens to Israel will come to us Christians, the “bride of Christ”, as the days grow darker.
What do ISIS sell that I might find in local shops?
Severed heads?
ISIS are sold down at the local mosque.
Those would be near the top of my boycott list.
Never shopped there.
The Brits have had a love affair with the filthy Arabs ever since T.E. Lawrence bent over for them. They remain Jew-hating bastards with few peers.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

A shame the Euros won't boycott Israeli advances in technology and medicine.
Europe hates Jews. It’s the 1930’s all over again. FU Enland, France, Germany, Spain, etc. Nothing but a bunch of anti-semite Jew haters.
Why did the British choose to buy Israeli produce in the first place except that it was the highest quality produce at the lowest cost that they could find.
So now if Britain boycotts Israeli goods it will have to consume second-rate produce at higher prices.
What a victory for the British.
In the meantime in spite of all the anti-Israel BDS programs in the West, Israel has a better economy than either Britain or the U.S.
On the other hand, since the leaders of China want the best for their people, they have been purchasing state-of-the-art desalination plants from Israel, while our leaders like those in California allow droughts to destroy their land and their people’s water bills to skyrocket rather than deign to work with Israelis to improve their worsening situation. And we wonder why China’s GDP rose 7% in the first quarter, while ours sank .7%.
They can buy produce from Egypt - where they use human waste to fertilize the fields. Muslims should love it.
Have you checked your local “head shop”?
Sorry, I just couldn’t let that one get away.
I wonder if Moslems really CAIR about this discrimination? Why am I asking stupid questions today?
The only thing many Moslem CAIR about is dead Jews.
you are soooo corect...
.... and the UN conduit is made up of what?
Largely OIC. My oh my!
As an independent contrator, I’ve found that the Israelis are some of the most honest, gracious people I have ever met.
What the hell is wrong with our English cousins?
Doing the work ISIS can’t do.
so all those so-called pali workers who work in the Israeli territories of Judea and Sumeria will lose their jobs. then again the arabs and moosies have NEVER cared about the so-called palis.
Good point!
