Hackney Palestine Solidarity members protest against Valentine’s Day flowers grown on illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian land

On Saturday 10th February, Hackney PSC members joined a large group of protesters against Israeli agricultural export company Agrexco(UK) Ltd at their Hayes depot. Agrexco/Carmel are dealing with large amounts of Israeli flowers in the build up to Valentine's Day. Agrexco is Israel's largest exporter of agricultural produce into the European Union, and is 50% Israeli state owned. It imports produce from illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which appropriate land and water resources by military force from Palestinian farmers in a deliberate policy of colonial settlement. As a result of the protest on Saturday 10th February, deliveries had to be rescheduled.
