BDS activists stick anti-Israel labels on products in Canada

Pro-Palestinian activists have reportedly affixed labels to products made by two pro-Israeli companies in Canada.

In recent weeks, Facebook posts by advocates of the global anti-occupation campaign of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel have shown warning labels affixed to bottles of Israeli wine in Vancouver and grocery products at a store in Calgary.

“Shopping was fun!” announced Calgary BDS activist Billie Jones on her Facebook page earlier this month.

A photo there shows anti-Israel labels stuck on several grocery products.

The stickers read: “Warning! Made in Israel: A country violating international law, the 4th Geneva Convention, and fundamental human rights…#BDS.”

They were stuck on Pampers diapers, made by Procter & Gamble, one of the largest clients of an Israeli company that supplies diaper products; on Coffee-mate, made by Nestle, which has a large business footprint in Israel; and McCafe coffee by McDonald’s, which has partnered with US Jewish groups to promote trips to Israel, according to BDS activists.
