A co-op store in the Florentine neighborhood of Tel Aviv has joined the European Union boycott of ‘settlement goods’, which the EU views as products originating in areas liberated by Israel in the June 1967 war, including Yehuda, Shomron and the Golan Heights.
The co-op operates on Fridays from 11:30-14:30 and sells products directly from the growers at reduced prices. However, the store will not sell products originating in areas of Yehuda and Shomron.
According to the Channel 2 News report, “suppliers from the settlements will not be received out of respect for the ideology of some of the co-op members” co-op operators are quoted explaining. The co-op today has 70 families that are unwilling to buy settlement products.

These are really nutty people. But they probably would sell produce from Gaza. Nebach.
The co-op should be boycotted
How about sending these 70 families to Syria where they won’t have to worry about where products originate.
