guardian.co.uk— As UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay says an alleged failure of the Israeli military to help wounded civilians in Gaza could constitute a war crime. Enough is enough - it's now up to us!

In 2006 the total traded between the EU and Israel amounted to 23.5 BILLION Euros.
Nablus Olive Oil (and other small farm olive oil from the west bank, some organic but not certified)Cedar Garden FoodsImport and Export Inc.Canton, MI313.522.2555No Sweat T-Shirts Organic Cotton T's Find a local Palestinian/Jordanian bakery for fresh pita and hummus. Ten years ago I found a great Palestinian owned bakery and brought their products into Whole Foods Markets.Often, a good market will recommend places to shop for crafts and other items made form Palestine, they woudl gladly share vendor information to bring more products to other stores.
I feel bad too that jamalal68 has never been able to visit his homeland. The situation in Israel is tragic for everyone. But honestly, it seems no one here has bothered to read any stories in their history books past the last few years. Yes, Israel is playing its part in this horrible war, but the Palestinians are by NO means innocent themselves. The current generation of Palestinians is paying gravely for their fathers sins. Take for example the Hebron Massacre - <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1929_Hebron_massacre">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1929_Hebron_massacre</a> - These incidents have been happening for a LONG time but no one here seems to care because the tables have turned.It's easy to watch the news these days and assume that Israel is the only one to blame. However, a closer look through history over the past 100+ years shows a deeper story. So before you go jump on the underdog bandwagon and boycott one side, I think its only fair to do your due-diligence and learn the WHOLE story before you judge anyone.

My humble apologies that it took so long. The internet is a great thing, let's ensure that it stays free and unregulated.

Count me in. I'll talk to my local co-op and supermarkets to get them to stop stocking Israeli goods, along with all the brands listed on <a class="user" href="http://www.inminds.co.uk/boycott-brands.html">http://www.inminds.co.uk/boycott-brands.html</a>On the flip-side, are there any brands/businesses that would help out the Palestinian people?
