Protesters paid a visit to York's central Sainsbury's store today to highlight to presence of Israeli produce on the shelves. The products of companies like Danone and Carmel, and even fresh lichees came under the spotlight as leaflets appeared around the store calling on customers to join the international boycott and end the sale of these products. The action happened to coincide with an international day of action for peace and justice in Lebanon and Palestine.

Store staff took a long time to get any whiff of what was going on; the first trolley of collected Israeli and Occupation-Related goods reached the wines aisle before those using it were asked to leave. When outside, they continued leafletting until again stopped. Another trolley appeared briefly near the entrance to the store with "Boycott Israeli Goods - Justice for Lebanon, Justice for Palestine" signs on them.

A previous, similar, action is reported here.
