1. Never again, at least for awhile
Kenwood Derby ,   Frostbite Falls, MN   (03.11.16)
I have bought several hundreds of dollars worth of the product specifically because it came from the Shomron. You Stockholm syndrome sufferers call it by the Ayroubolphile exonym "west bank" as if it is the largest river bank in the world. You awful people won't even claim your land with your own tongue. You allow an exiled tyrant from the Hejaz to provide the exonym? You are pathetic and weak suicidal stiff necked Yidiots.
2. "Kauft nicht bei Juden"
Mark   (03.11.16)
80 years ago they shouted "Kauft nicht bei Juden" in Germany. We know what happened afterwards. Now they shout "Boycott Israel". What will come next? ...
3. As companies leave the West Bank, isn't it Palestinians who
Rivkah   (03.11.16)
are losing jobs? Well, at least the companies that leave the West Bank won't be attacked when a slaughter occurs there that Daniel in Scriptures was shown by haShem long ago that was so distressing to him he could not stop mourning for 21 days until an angel from haShem came to strengthen him and tell him the meaning of the vision.
4. Labeling is not boycott!
Eva ,   Germany   (03.11.16)
You are wrong in writing "European boycott of goods produced in the West Bank", it is not a boycott by Europe, but the legal demand to label the origin of goods correctly, that means not "state of Israel" but "territory under Israeli control- West bank". thanks for correcting it.
5. Chinese Ahava is caving in to blackmail
tiki ,   belgium   (03.11.16)
How many Palestinian Arab workers will lose their jobs? Just hope for them their International "protectors" can find work for them in "Palestine". Poor people. They are the main victims of Jew hate by the Human Rights con artists
6. now can we get the "agalot" out of the Malls?!
(03.11.16)
really those illegal kids driving everyone crazy everywhere aggressively selling this garbage are giving Israel and the West Bank a worse name than just about anything else the settlers can do!

8. Ahava did not say it is closing its Mitzpeh Shalem facility
Jake   (03.11.16)
It said it is building an ADDITIONAL facility, at Ein Gedi: "In light of expanding production needs due the success in marketing Ahava products around the world and expected changes in cosmetic product manufacturing standards in certain Western countries, Ahava will establish an additional plant at Kibbutz Ein Gedi."
9. To 5.
Jules   (03.12.16)
That's exactly the purpose of the whole BDS campaign: to ensure that all Palestinian Arabs remain under complete control of the PLO terrorists. That way Abbas (and his European sponsors) preserve their power and influence. Every factory, etc. leaving Judea and Samaria, makes the PLO stronger.
10. Chinese Company
ik ,   USA   (03.11.16)
Now that Ahava is no longer an Israeli company there is little reason for US and the diaspora to give extra support for purchase of its products.
11. Ahava
Ralph Haglund ,   Lund, Sweden   (03.25.16)
And Netanyahu does not do a thing to help the attacked companies in area C, like he wanted to get rid of that area. Better for Israel to get rid of Netanyahu.
