Sanctions work

"A report published Sunday in the Hebrew-language business paper 'The Marker', 21% of Israeli exporters say that they have been directly impacted by a boycott of Israeli products since the beginning of 2009.

The Israeli website:

has been maintaining and updating a database of companies that either profit from the Israeli occupation or export products that come from Israeli settlements. The global BDS Movement has called for a boycott of these companies."

Hi Dr Zurayk,
I was on the first promotion of Landscape Design and was your student in the soil course.

Anyhow, I would like to say that I currently live in London and that Waitrose supermarket here brand some of their herbs and other veg as 'Made in the West Bank', and for a second you think it's from Palestine but actually it is from Israeli settlements in the West Bank! From Illegal settlements under international law!
