Palestinians 'cleanse' shops of goods made in settlements
‘This campaign is much stronger than throwing stones at the Israeli Army’
RAMALLAH, Occupied West Bank: Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad launched on Monday a new door-to-door campaign aimed at “cleansing” shops in the occupied West Bank of goods produced in Israeli settlements.
The so-called “Shop-to-Shop” campaign is part of a months-old boycott that has seen the Western-backed Palestinian Authority impose fines and even jail sentences on merchants who trade in settlement goods.
“This is a new campaign, and an important part of the efforts, both official and popular, to cleanse the market of all settlement goods by the end of the year,” Fayyad told reporters on a visit to a supermarket in Ramallah, West bank.
That settles it (excuse the pun).
