61. Asda/Tesco in Uk sell Israel products cheaper than in Israel
Israeli mother   (04.29.12)
Now that's a more interesting story Ynet.. A pack Of Bisli in London I buy for equivalent of 2 shekels. 8 shekels in Israel for same .
62. Brits vs Israelis
Jenny ,   --   (04.29.12)
It's kind of like watching Predator vs Alien or Iran vs Iraq. You'd like to see both sides lose (or at least both sides bloody each other.) Both nations have horrible pasts.
63. Just the beginning.....TATA
Edithann ,   USA   (04.29.12)
64. UK retailer boycotts settlement exports
Lydia ,   Petach Tikva   (04.29.12)
Well, I am sure that british Jews will have no problem boycotting their supermarkets!!
65. JESUSALEN
JESUSALEN ,   JESUSALEN   (04.29.12)
today has been the salvation to this house that he is also the son of avraham because the son of man has come to seek and to save what was lost,remember that this is the mission of yeshua as you said evil,call named yeshua because the ioshia my people of their iniquities,i will establish a brit jadasha with the house of yisrael and the house of iehuda i will put my torah within them and write on their hearts and will be their elohim and they will be my people because i will forgive their wickedness and their sins i will not remember more we know that through the death of the mashiaj becomes a reality the brit jadasha,the release is eventually manifested as the iniquities of yisrael are forgiven and the torah is placed in the heart to expel the ietzer will do but as well as to eat the passover must be circumcised in the flesh in the same way to enter the brit jadasha performed on passover must be circumcised in the heart
66. #56 Rolf
David ,   USA   (04.29.12)
I looked up the definition of "Stupid" in my dictionary and sure enough there was an ugly picture with the title "Rolf."
67. Boycott on Israel
shosh ,   USA   (04.29.12)
Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless Israel, and curse him that curseth Israel: and in Israel shall all families of the earth be blessed. The Lamb of G-d comes out of Israel and He is a Jew and a Zionist. Touch Israel, you will suffer.
68. UK's Boycott
ltrail ,   USA   (04.29.12)
I'm going out today and purchase some Israeli red wine; for starters. Maybe I'll find Yaffa oranges somewhere as well.
69. The British Co-operative Group
ltrail ,   United States   (04.29.12)
Can someone please provide info such as a link to The British Co-operative Group. I want to find out exactly what they include in their distribution. So I can exclude product at the very least. Or pass along their info to others to let them decide how to exclude them.
70. London is Londonstan for good reason and sinking
Sami ,   New York, USA   (04.29.12)
London is Londonstan for good reason and sinking.
71. Long after our enemies have crumbled to dust...
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.29.12)
Thousands of years after this British corporation and all it's executives have crumbled to foul and forgotten dust...Judea and Samaria will still belong eternally to the Jewish people.
72. Needless to say...
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (04.29.12)
...my own counter-boycott of the Co-op is already under way. This is the thin end of the wedge and has to be countered. I urge everyone,in the UK,as long as this boycott is in place,to refrain from doing any business whatsoever with the Co-op,urge all friends,acquaintances and contacts to do the same and inform the Co-op that you are doing this: customer.relations@co-op.co.uk Thank you. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
73. Nothing better to do
BK ,   USA   (04.29.12)
Have these useful idiots nothing better to do? While slaughter goes on in Syria, while Iranians are yearning for freedom, while N. Korea has 200,000 in Stalinist Gulags and the government starves its people, while Russia is ruled by despots, while Sudan continues its killing, and on and on, these morons get worked up over this nonsense. Britain is now in the dustbin, as the Brits call it.
74. #70Sami Not only London
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (04.29.12)
Sami might be correct about London.Personally I avoid the place and am not in a good position to comment. But the Co-op has very little to do with London;it's a company which is solidly based in Manchester. This is something for Zionists in the Manchester area to get their teeth into,possibly joining my counter-boycott(#72).They are in a better position than the rest of us to bring pressure to bear on the Co-op and I urge them to do so. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
75. David # 66 Mine shows...
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (04.29.12)
a picture of Edithann. Either way they can't be wrong.
76. Good job! Better for peace!
Michael ,   West Jerusalem/NY   (04.29.12)
77. Co-Op Boycott
Ben Bolt ,   Bromsgrove, UK   (04.29.12)
I have already sent them an email advising them that I have reciprocated by boycotting THEM! No food from them, no holidays etc. Stuff them!
78. NO MORE PUDDINGS FM CO-OP!
Yossef ,   Paris   (04.29.12)
This sick joke is a special thanks to all decent posters fm the U-K here.
79. Illegal Settlements
Dee Coombes ,   Liverpool UK   (04.29.12)
What's with the quotation marks around illegal settlements in para 4? There is absolutely no question about the illegality of those settlements and the sooner you get to grips with that, the better the chance for reasons for the boycott to disappear.
80. Boycott worked on Apartheid South Africa
James ,   Canada   (04.29.12)
Hopefully they will work on Israel as well.
81. #80
Alex   (04.29.12)
No, because contrary to South Africa Israel is a democracy where all people enjoy the same rights. The boycott is not on Israel, it's on Jews. What happened in Europe 70 years ago is beginning to repeat itself all over Europe. I'm about to leave one of the most anti-semitic towns in Europe, Malmö, in Sweden where even the mayor constantly makes anti-semitic remarks without any opposition. Europe is sold to evil once again. I'll be leaving Europe for good shortly.
82. #79. Israel's ownership of Judea/Samaria is 100% legal.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.29.12)
#79 Dee. Simply declaring something "illegal" doesn't make it so. Israel's ownership of Judea and Samaria is 100% legal. This fact has been acknowledged by some of the world's top international law experts such as Eugene Rostow, author of U.N. Resolution 242 and David M. Phillips, Professor at Northeastern University School of Law. Even the terrorist P.A. tacitly admits Judea and Samaria belong to Israel. That is why they refuse to publicly debate MK Danny Ayalon on the issue.
83. James Canada no 80
LION OF JUDAH   (04.29.12)
Rest assured Jamie, it will never work. Israel strong in everything, and if you want to boycott Israel, please do so, by not using cellphone,and computers,etc,. Boycott Jaffa oranges, and Israel will find new market. Tough world Jamie!!!!!!
84. #80 : Sure James-but it will hurt the boycotters-not Israel
I care for Israel   (04.29.12)
James - the holy scriptures say, that ''He who curses Israel will be cursed, and he who blesses Israel will be blesssed''. I'm not 20 anymore and I've seen this rule working again and again....To curse Israel is dangerous for him who curses Israel . James - join the winning team - join the truth, check the facts and see that the root of the ME conflict is not Israel but the arab / muslim rejection of the jewish state and the rejection of a peaceful coexistence by the same. I dont hate the arabs / muslims, but the fact is that the root of the ME problem is in their religion.
85. #79Dee Coombes No question about illegality?
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (04.29.12)
Really?Maybe in YOUR mind. I suggest that you read the Mandate for Palestine.especially... "Article 6. The Administration of Palestine, while ensuring that the rights and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced, shall facilitate Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and shall encourage, in co-operation with the Jewish agency. referred to in Article 4, close settlement by Jews, on the land, including State lands and waste lands not required for public purposes." See if you can find when that was repealed,but don't waste too much of your time,because it hasn't been. THAT is the international law concerning the settlements and I'm sorry if it doesn't suit you but tough luck. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
86. Way to Go
Leon ,   Algonquin Land   (04.29.12)
Many Zionists on this website rant and rave about how it is their right to steal Palestinian land and how they can ignore the world. Well this Co-op has said if you do this, we will not do business with you. Well done!!! Free Palestine!!!!
87. James # 80
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (04.29.12)
Israel doesn't have apartheid. You might as well hope for the tooth fairy. It will do you just as much good.
88. 84 I care for Israel
Alsky ,   Toronto   (04.29.12)
I agree with you 100% It all made sense to me after the "Palestinians" rejected the peace deal in 2000. The media has been very effective at spreading Arab propaganda but then again, so have most Israeli politicians.
89. #63 Boycotts bite the boycotters back
Cynthia ,   USA   (04.30.12)
First of all this food coop is carrying the torch for Nazi Germany by boycotting Jewish businesses. The public views this as a sleezy business practice and will let their views be known. Bad publicity for the stores will result while Israeli companies will find other outlets for their products. Hilary Smith will be exposed for being a shortsighted Israel basher hiding behind the Palestinians. In her quest to harm Israel, she failed to realize the settlements employ Palestinian workers. Hope she's prepared to wrap her arms around them when they no longer have jobs and her name pops up as the key person to blame.
90. but no problem with russian, persian, chinese, etc. goods
rick ,   walnut creek   (04.30.12)
self-righteous, hateful, cowardly swine.
