Over 500 people recently protested against Mehadrin, a major Israeli agricultural export company that has a base of operations in Chateurenard, France. The demonstration began in the city of Avignon, before moving on to the actual site of the company’s offices 14 kilometers away.
The anti-Israel extremists chanted “Sur le pont d’Avignon, on boycotte, on boycotte! Mehadrin, Mehadrin, on boycotte, on boycotte!,” and alleged that the company should be boycotted because it “operates inside illegal Israeli settlements and is deeply involved in the ongoing colonization of Palestinian land.”
Protesters also erected tents bearing the names of “Palestinian villages” in tribute to so-called Palestinian “resistance.” BDS operatives claim that this protest serves as a successful first step in pressuring French supermarkets not to stock Mehadrin products and “to create mass public awareness about the importance of boycotting Israeli products.”

Why shouldn’t they??
If the ‘charedim’ r alowed to boycott Israel and protest against it then why can’t these anti Israel Frenchies do it?
This is tiny compared to the anti-Israel protests by charedim in the US.
