The Australian Jewish Democratic Society (AJDS) recently launched a campaign calling on the boycott of goods produced in territories liberated after the 1967 Six Day War. The website “Don’t Buy Settlement Products” seeks to garner support for the call. According to an executive member of the AJDS, “the idea of not buying settlement products has become quite mainstream around the world, as people increasingly see a problem with the occupation.”
In a press release, the group claims that “Israeli settlements are seen…as a major obstacle to creating peace between Israelis and Palestinians…This sends a clear message that we will not be complicit in the settlement program.” The left wing organization has also promised to work with “people throughout the various Australian Jewish and non-Jewish communities to cease buying settlement products.”
A list of companies operating in Judea and Samaria has been posted on their website and these include Ahava, Soda Stream, Achva, and the Psagot and Binyamina Wineries.

With brothers like these who needs enemies?
I think that it is about time that Jewish people everywhere get a hold of that company list and organize a BUY campaign. Let’s support these companies in a big way. Enough is enough. What a bunch of racism and antisemitism.
There’s nothing worse than self hating Jews. Sinas Chinam is our biggest obstacle to peace because it’s preventing the geula.
What an embarrassment. Where are all the liberal commentators? Let’s hear you back up this group…
