UK Co-op shops / Israel
Nice one Co-op. I do sometimes shop there, and this'll encourage me to do so. Good to see principle being upheld over profit.
"British food retailer the Co-op Group will cease sourcing products and ingredients from 17 countries, including Israel, where there are "internationally recognised" human rights abuses and violations of international law, it said on Tuesday.
"The Co-op, which is owned by its members and trades from over 2,300 food stores across the UK, said it would stop selling carrots from Israel from this month as part of a commitment to no longer stock Israeli goods."
Commiserations to any Israeli food-growers who _don't_ support the atrocities in Gaza and are caught up in this.

I'll start the Conejo Valley Amateur Radio Club (CVARC) Field Day posts with some of the infrastructure we set up. These tents are a vital part of it, on load from the EMS services in our county. Two are used for radio ops, while the third is entirely dedicated to Public Information and visitor info. It's amazing to watch them magically take shape.
