hotel's Cookbook Cafe and 'discover one of Israel's finest Hidden Gems': its
settler-colonial conquest of Palestine, overseasoned with cultural appropriation. At
the Taste of Israel week, diners could sample Arab cuisine and goods produced on
stolen Palestinian land. Most of the tables remained empty and the £20 a head buffet
untouched for the first day of this poorly attended event; blinds were hastily
lowered by staff to obscure placards held up against the Cafe windows by boycott
activists, reading "Food and wine of apartheid Israel" and "The bitter taste of
Israeli occupation".

Bankrupt Agrexco face possible criminal prosecution
28-08-2011 21:22
Agrexco, the Israeli part-state owned agricultural export company that supports illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and has been the target of an international boycott campaign as a result, now faces possible criminal prosecution in Israel.Auditors of the bankrupt firm have uncovered accountancy fraud apparently intended to cover up Agrexco's intimate relationship with the Israeli governments agricultural policies.
Although not expressly stated in this report, the report suggests that Agrexco was propping up illegal settlements in the OPTs with financial payments in order to support Israeli Govt settlement colonisation policies at the expense of their own profitability. If this is so, the case against Agrexco put by BDS campaigners over the past 7 years, of the company's complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity, has just been strengthened substantially.
