Pro-Palestinians in Belfast storm supermarket, remove Israeli products

A group of flag- and banner-waving Palestinian supporters have entered a supermarket in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and removed from the shelves items they claim have an association to Israel. According to the Belfast Telegraph, dozens of protesters entered the Asda supermarket on Monday evening, with many chanting pro-Palestinian slogans. They then began to remove the products from the shelves. Videos uploaded to YouTube by the protesters show demonstrators draped in Palestinian flags and shouting “Boycott Israeli goods” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” – a Hamas slogan that advocates the elimination of Israel. The footage also shows protesters, some accompanied by young children, loading a variety of products into shopping trolleys.

Monday’s incident marked the second time that a group has entered a supermarket and removed items they claim are connected to Israel from the shelves, the Belfast Telegraph said. Last week, the report said, dozens of people went into a Sainsbury’s store in Belfast and took products, including by Coca Cola, from the shelves. Again, the report said, many of the protesters were carrying banners and Palestinian flags, and shouting “free Palestine.”
