How to Boycott
By signing the pledge, you’ve agreed to not buy Israeli goods. In doing this, you’re adding your voice to the millions, who are calling for the end of the genocide of the Palestinian people.
The most common products in the UK from Israel are avocados and citrus fruits . To identify them you need to check the country of origin of the produce you are buying. This can be found on the packaging, the sticker, the label or the display box. If you’re not sure, ask a member of staff. If the country of origin or production is Israel, do not buy it – it’s as simple as that! If you see one of our posters in the shop, they are boycotting Israeli products too, so you should tell them!
Bristol Apartheid-Free Zone is about boycotting Israeli produce as part of the Boycott, Divest & Sanction Movement. For more information about why go to:
