    Have you a list of Israeli produce?

    Nope, wont be boycotting anything, but tbh I doubt I have too much isreali sourced produce anyway.

    Mostly all fresh carrots and herbs are Israeli ATM - AFAIK.

    Re. Mod move to Humanities - I personally think that this is a consumer issue.

    I do not want to discuss politics now.

    They export a lot of citrus fruits to the EU (it's their top export) and I've seen strawberries from there too.

    have done for a number or years. there is a lot in the fruit/veg section of supermarkets- a boycott could really make a difference.

    Plenty in the fruit and vegs of tescos, I like their medjool dates (like sweets) be hard to stomach them now,
    Try to buy produced in Ireland or EU, nearer the better, so Israel really isn't in my list for that, now its off maybe it will make a difference, maybe it. wont, nowt to do with that tho, wont support it even in a small way

    If you buy vegetables in tescoes you'd be surprised.

    Not saying i disagree with you about an Israeli boycott, but most certainly it is not a consumer issue? It's pure politics...
