Ironically, those who would get harmed the most by the boycott of Israeli products are some 15,000 Palestinian workers who are employed in the West Bank.
YNET NEWS (H/T Susan K) The storm surrounding South Africa’s decision to boycott Israeli products 
manufactured in the West Bank is the result of a successful Palestinian campaign. Yet a Ynet probe reveals that the Palestinian Authority continues to market Israeli products, with locals seeing no reason why they should stop purchasing the products.
The boycott, which was recently announced in South Africa, is set to spread to Denmark and Ireland has also announced that it is considering a boycott. As mentioned, the Palestinian Authority has been pushing a campaign through the Palestinian National Initiative led by Mustafa Barghouti which has been gathering momentum.
(Too bad they can’t see that Israeli products are big sellers in Palestinian markets like this new supermarket in Gaza, Metro, where the boycotters would be forced to protest the fact that it is not adhering to BDS because it sells so many Israeli products – and even features them prominently)

For example, in November 2011, Barghouti had reporters take pictures of him spilling an Israeli orange drink into the street together with other Palestinian activists. Barghouti and other senior Palestinian officials welcomed the South African government’s decision yet it would seem that the wind of change has not yet reached the Palestinian Authority.
Brand names like Tnuva, Osem, Elite, and other smaller Israeli brands are displayed in Hebrew and Arabic side by side in stores in Bethlehem. The names are even featured on the store signs and in the stores themselves.
“People love and buy Israeli products,” says one Bethlehem minimarket owner. And while there are local dairies that sell their products in the Palestinian Authority, he says “lots of people prefer to buy Tnuva products simply because there is tighter supervision and they want to feel safe in what they buy.
“It has nothing to do with politics. When we buy a product from you (Israelis) we know it is under supervision and only made with fresh ingredients.”
The Israeli goods are not only found at the local food markets in the PA. Imad Naama, who owns a cleaning and hygiene product warehouse, explains that there is no comparison between the quality of Israeli products and other brands. “If my clients see that the product has Hebrew letters on it or if it says the product is from Israel, they are sure that it is better,” he notes.
Naama said that during the period before the Second Intifada and before the establishment of the Palestinian Authority, products produced in Palestinian factories were marked in Hebrew and people were sure that was their place of origin.
After the Intifada broke out, manufacturers changed the inscription and removed the Hebrew so people refused to buy it, even though it was the exact same product. “They said they weren’t willing to purchase it because it’s what you call ‘Arabic work’,” he joked.
Faiz Hamadan and Khaled Saleima, stall owners at the market in Bethlehem said they had no political issue with selling Israeli made produce so long as it did not originate in the settlements.
“As long as the products come that come from Israel are inscribed in Arabic – it’s fine and people will buy it.” The calls to boycott Israeli products have mainly permeated at the slogan level. On the ground there is no sweeping implementation of the boycott.
Interestingly, even Israeli Chanukah chocolate coins are sold in Gaza
“We don’t really have much of a choice as the Palestinian industry is not developed enough to compete with Israeli merchandise. There are things you can’t buy unless they come from Israel since they aren’t produced here, minimarket owners admit.”
For his part, Naama said that he has heard of the boycott campaign but says it will never work, as long as there is no alternative. “I have no problem with people trying to encourage the use of Palestinian products. That’s fine, but you need to have Palestinian alternatives to the products,” he stated.
Bleeding heart British liberal bitch screams at Muslims for selling Israeli dates in their London store.
South Africa can support muslims all they want and if the muslims have their way, they will enslave the africans of South Africa the way they have been enslaving africans for years. Ireland is going bankrupt and demmark is soon going to be a muslim country. I would not worry about these three, not financially important countries. I would encourage all Americans to show there support of Israel, the only true democracy in the hell hole of the middle east, by buying and supporting Israel. As for me and my family, we fully support Israel.

These free-trade agreements have been a diaster for America!!!
And to think, when I was a kid in the early 90′s people were making fun of Ross. History has proven him right and those same people are not laughing anymore.
I manufactured fashion accesories for specialty stores in huge volume and only lasted 7 years after Clinton signed all our jobs away. All my sales representatives were well polished Jewish human dynomos.
Bill Clinton was a criminal!!!!
By the way, did you guys know the the Ford Transit Connect(van) is made in Turkey.
Seriously, *$#% South Africa. There is a reverse apartheid going on there right now, with many white South Africans being discriminated against, attacked, and driven out.The government there can rot in hell for all I care.They’ll be infiltrated by Islamists next, and good riddance to this stain on black Africa. It’s a terrible country.Next time I go to the continent, I’ll spend my money in South Sudan instead. That’ll piss these anti-white dhimmis off.
THERE’S an idea: that the white South-African farmers being driven out move to South-Sudan and start over, developing amicable relations with the black people there and help defend them against the muzzie “Janjaweed” gangsters from the North. Then, let Israel help arm them and voilà, a new nation that WILL succeed while not making the apartheid mistakes…
I wonder if Nelson Mandela is regretting the anti-white apartheid: at least, while he was in jail (bad as it was), they also educated him and prepared him to be one of the few truly-worthy black-African leaders.
you state that mandela was a “truly worthy black-african leader”. either you are a communist, or the mainstream media’s white-washing coverage is all you(and just about everybody else)have seen.

That’s a great idea.And the dhimmis in denmark and ireland can suck eggs. They are pussy, appeasers bending to their new muzzie leaders.
‘Palestine’ (the Protectorate of Palestine) was handed over to Israel by the United Nations by a POLITICAL DECISION.
Too bad if some people didn’t like the decision.
Israel is a political fact…a Jewish homeland. Non-Jews are welcome in Israel and can become citizens unlike in many Arab countries where even ARABS cannot become citizens. Israel is open, democratic and pluralistic.
The Arabs are backward, tribal, inbred.
JOIN THE 21rst CENTURY and stop being RETARDS!
too bad they can tell someone who cares they don’t want kosher dill pickles ! more for the rest of us .
Time for free peoples around the world to step up to the plate, show support & buy
Israeli products.
Screw islam
Better yet, Bruce, If the non-Musim world could just stop selling anything to Muslims for a month, forcing Muslims to survive on Muslim produce and products, the Muslim problem would be solved.
Just think of all that oil being ours too! Muslims have survived all these centuries through pillaging and taxing infidels. If all the world was Muslim, the proverbial hand that feeds them would be cut off!
Sounds good to me.
Cheers
“palestinian” writers boycott book that was to be published in texas because it would include two israeli authors.

The video just goes to prove that stupid is alive and well. Another embarrassment to (hu)mankind.
You got it, Dave. When will these people learn that they can’t fix stupid?
I want to buy more Israel products, but I have a hard time to find them where I live. Occasionally some of the small delicate potatoes and some dates is all I found until now.
oMom, you can also buy things online from some of stores listed here http://www.buyisraelgoods.org/.
South Africa is devolving to a Third World basket-case, again. I would boycott South Africa products but I’ve seen nothing in the stores in my neck of the woods since the racists drove out most of the white folk.
Speaking as the son of an Irishman,if Ireland does this then i will not buy anything that is Irish and i will not fly over there to spend my money again !!
So, just when are they going to get it?! Typical Muzscum mentality to engage in boycotts and other idiotic behaviors that result in harming themselves more than anyone they are supposedly protesting against: a couple of excellent examples where business has grown due to the protests and boycotts of the muzscum morons: Lowe’s and Bed, Bath & Beyond!!
mmm Israeli chips…I want some too
I buy Israel when ever possible. Been doing that for years.
I bought tires for my 70 Challenge in 71 they lasted for 70,000 miles. Good deal they were GUARANTEED to 150 miles per hour.
I did have a lead foot when I was younger.
Don’t I know it!
