End all trade with Israel Brands to Boycott
In 2016, Palestinian agricultural organizations and farmers’ unions issued a call to action urging international organizations to build effective campaigns to work towards ending agricultural trade with Israel. Palestinian farmers face the brunt of Israel’s land confiscations, demolitions and water theft. Palestinian land is systematically seized to make way for Israeli export companies, which profit from this land theft, and from the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements.

Israeli Wines
Many Israeli wines are produced on illegal settlements in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Syrian Golan. Wineries located within the 1948 borders (i.e., ‘Israel’), including some of the largest commercial wineries in the Israeli market, use grapes originating from settlements in their wines.

Sabra hummus
Sabra is a joint venture between PepsiCo and the Strauss Group, an Israeli food company that provides financial support to the Israeli army. Strauss removed information on their support for the occupation forces from their website in 2010, amidst a wave of boycotts, but concedes it still sells food to the military, and in its own financial report, identifies itself as an “authorized supplier to the Ministry of Defense” (p. 147) (Source: No Appetite for Apartheid)
