On Saturday 13th September 17 people set up a stall outside Tescos in Hove and handed out leaflets to shoppers urging them not to buy Israeli goods.

Two members of the group entered the store, identified herbs and medjoul dates from illegal settlements in the Occupied West Bank, piled them in a trolley, and complained to the Assistant Manager on duty that these goods should not be on sale. They explained to him that Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal, that the produce exported from them is grown on land that has been stolen from Palestinians, and that Tesco is complicit by selling settlement goods. He asserted that buying policy was made by Head Office and it was therefore not his responsiblity.
