‘Israeli’ farmers and food exporters are reporting a sharp rise in boycott efforts against their agricultural products across Europe, according to a report published Wednesday by the Hebrew outlet Ynet.

The growing backlash, triggered by ongoing public opposition to ‘Israel’s’ war in Gaza, has led to both formal and informal actions by major retailers, with some suppliers even noting hesitations from markets as far as Japan.

The Ynet report cites exporters saying that European countries like Belgium and Ireland have effectively begun boycotting ‘Israeli’ produce. In recent weeks, Italy’s and the UK’s Co-op chains announced they would stop selling ‘Israeli’ products, and now other retailers—such as the UK’s Waitrose and Germany’s Aldi—are reportedly following suit, even without public declarations.

    When they quote a country usually it means that the writer doesn’t recognize the legitimacy of that country.

    You see often China-affiliated media writing “Taiwan” or Ukrainian’s writing “DNR”
