Two Italian grocery chains to boycott Israeli produce
Two Italian supermarkets have announced that they plan to stop selling all Israeli products as they could not differentiate whether they came form West Bank settlements or inside the Green Line.
Italian grocery chains Coop and Nordiconad will remove all Israeli products from their shelves by the end of the month, according to the Stop Camel-Agrexco Web site - an Italian based coalition dedicated to the boycott of one of Israel's top agricultural exporters.
Grocery chain Coop Italia issued a statement saying that they had a problem with "traceability, namely that the consumer is unable to verify whether or not the product in question comes from the occupied territories."
The Coalition Web site added that this was "an important success for the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israeli apartheid."
