More IDF propaganda exposed, while openly posting war crimes under the Geneva convention




And apparently it's illegal to boycott Israel in certain states in the US??

Two months into the Israel-Hamas conflict, the boycott of Israeli companies and products has grown exponentially in the US, mirroring the increase in pro-Palestine protests. The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions or BDS movement, which began in 2005 in the Occupied West Bank, has long been a tool for Palestinians to take non-violent action. But more than half of US states have laws in place banning such a boycott, something that doesn't apply in other countries. Yasmine El-Sabawi reports.

HP, Siemens, AXA, Puma, Israeli Fruits and Vegetables, SodaStream, Ahava, Sabra Hummus

I'm not buying Sabra Hummus anymore, it's in the supermarket here labeled as Sabra Canada, yet in fine print product of USA. I've already been avoiding things labeled "product of USA", better to buy local anyway. Nothing is labeled product of Israel (at least not along the things we buy weekly) yet didn't know Sabra Canada is involved with the Strauss group.

I send my local supermarket this message:

I urge you to remove Sabra Hummus from sale in your supermarkets

Sabra hummus is a joint venture between PepsiCo and the Strauss Group, an Israeli food company that provides financial support to the Israeli army.

Please do not support the ongoing genocide, deliberate starvation and killing of children by selling this product in your stores. Nor any other products produced in Israel.

As the Israel-Gaza conflict has intensified in recent days, Buycott has seen a surge in users joining groups with names like 'Avoid Israeli Settlement Products' and 'Long Live Palestine Boycott Israel.'

The latter was created in April by a British teenager, but floundered with a few hundred members through mid-July. It now counts over 220,000 shoppers as users, with its numbers climbing daily. By way of contrast, a user-created campaign to boycott Nestle for alleged human rights abuses has 57,000 members.

"I noticed 3 weeks ago that we were seeing an unusual spike in traffic, but there hadn't been any articles written about the app or Israel campaigns," said Pardo. " Next thing I knew Buycott was a top 10 app in the UK and Netherlands, and #1 in a number of Middle Eastern countries. Word was spreading through social media."

'Long Live Palestine Boycott Israel' lists 49 companies for those opposed to Israel's policies or tactics to avoid. These include Sabra, makers of the bestselling hummus in the U.S., jointly owned by Israeli company Strauss and PepsiCo . Strauss saw 2013 revenues of $2.3 billion, up 4.8%, thanks mostly to the growth of hummus' popularity in North and South America.

Really sad to see the US support genocide of children, and then talk about war crimes about other countries.
