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.
