Because several people asked, I did the work for them and found where the stickers are sold:
https://picclick.co.uk/Boycott-Israeli-Apartheid-Stickers-25-1000-187179356862.html
A set of high-quality stickers emphasising the boycott Israeli products campaigns worldwide. Stickers are 2.25โ x 1.25โ (57mm x 32mm), printed on thermal paper and have an uncoated matt finish. Strong adhesive backing for a high level of stickiness.

Iโve only seen it in the store I use regularly and keep an eye out for further incidents both there and in other of their stores I use.
In due course I can see Starmer making country of origin labelling illegal in order to bamboozle those of us who donโt fancy Chlorination Chicken, Hormone Beef or produce grown on stolen Palestinian land.
@ideogram Same approach as this?

Anti-apartheid supermarket price tags for products covered by the BDS boycott (Boycott Divestment and Sanctions). These are Sainsbury's (and currently Sabra) specific but I plan to make them for other supermarkets and products over the weekend and they'll all be available to download and print from my website here.In the UK the Sabra and Yarden hummus brands are made by Osem, an Israeli company. In the US there is a different Sabra brand which according to the BDS website is "a joint venture bet
@ideogram
Genius, yes.
May have an amusing but unfortunate side effect of people knee-jerk grabbing any brand with โREDUCEDโ sticker on it (& not reading the fine print).
โฆWhich then touches on more than one stereotype trope.
@ideogram @joe
I do get your point, Joe.
Let me rephrase.
It is amusing that some people will see โreducedโ, read no further, and buy it.
It is unfortunate that it then counteracts the purpose of the stickers.
It is also unfortunate that there are negative, unfair stereotypes about certain people groups around frugality.
The truth is, there are people of all groups who are frugal, &/or who donโt read fine print.
Better?
@kelvin0mql Why would you even invoke the stereotype here? I get that it's clearly on your mind and brimming to come out - just really not relevant and seems intended to hurt people. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe your mind went right to "them" being cheap and you couldn't help yourself.
It's "unfortunate" that people make that connection. I agree. Now, why you did, why it was worth commenting... we will probably never know.
Actually quite a good way to protest and gets the message across ๐
Its also highly presumptive and disingenuous when Zionists pretend to speak on behalf of all Jewish people in the world and deny the very existence of anti-Zionist Jewish people
The 1948 Nakba was literally the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian Arabs, including terrorism, massacres, and biological warfare conducted by Israeli forces, the violent expulsion of over half a million Arabs from they're homes, and the suppression of they're identity, culture, and basic rights.
But sure, from the Zionist/genocide apologist perspective, its "antisemitic" to oppose this. SMH
@adamsaidsomething In 1948 the nations around Israel tried to commit a genocide against Israel.
The now displaced were told to keep their keys so they could return after Israel was destroyed.
But Israel won.

@ideogram most Sabra is made locally, so why target Sabra? This is why:
It's an amazing study in the way the antisemite thinks, isn't it?
They believe that a Jew in Manchester is responsible for actions in other countries, leading them to smack these kind of messages on American products.
It's quite the sickness that folks like this have, terrorizing innocent people. We know it's certainly not about change... If they wanted to change things, they'd go after politicians, or a large population. Jews only account for 0.5% of the UK population.
And of course as we know, there are Jewish products that are *only* produced in Israel (not this one, it's American!), which means Jews have no choice but to buy from Israel, meaning they (and only they, not Christians or Muslims) are forced to be subjected to this.
You have to be a pretty sick person to do this to innocent people, and a pretty sick person to think that it's "genius".
@ideogram ooops.
I had no idea, I'm sorry about that then.
Apparently it's made in Lohamei Haghetaโot.
So yeah, boycotting them might hurt some people in Israel's north financially.
Not convinced it's hitting the right people though ๐คทโโ๏ธ.
@billiglarper @ideogram I will apply the same logic to all groups or peoples.
E.g. if someone labelled Kunafa from Nablus as supporting violent acts done by Hamas, I would ask if it really hurts the right people financially.
Thought by whom? (Even at its peak, only 25% of Britains said they were boycotting produce from South Africa. Which is massive for an action, but small on an economic scale.)
Stopping a war by sanctions seems even harder. There's a lot of economic pressure applied to Russia to stop fighting in Ukraine, to little result so far. Even if they work, sanctions take a long time.
So means and supposed goals don't seem to match in this case. This action doesn't save lives.
The other point with actions and pressure in general is that it works best if there's a clear direction to it. "Do this and it will stop". (Otherwise it will be seen as just an attack and an attempt at destruction.)
This action, and #BDS in general, doesn't do that. What's the aim? "Retreat from Gaza", "end apartheid and settler violence in the West-Bank", "destroy Israel and drive the jews into the sea" - which is it? And the 1948 reference points to the later. Again.
