The PA (Palestinian Authority), the largest regional supplier of tainted eggs, e-coli vegetables and black-market slaughter, is calling on its residents not to buy Israeli products following recent reports of salmonella and listeria in Israel products including Telma cereals, Shamir Salads, chickens, Osem products and more.

Interestingly, PA officials did not mention salmonella as being the cause for the boycott, as prominent legislator Dr. Mustafa Barghouti said the reports of the presence of salmonella are yet another reason not to use Israeli products. He proudly calls on PA residents not to use Israeli products because of political realities.

Adding to elected PA officials, its Consumer Protection Council based in Ramallah over the weekend called on PA residents not to buy Israeli products, informing them of recalls by various Israeli companies due to the salmonella. The PA Health Ministry joined in, instructing residents to avoid Israeli products, especially tehina. The PA posted a list of infected products on official websites.
