Boycott Israeli company Tivall vegetarian products

Put economic pressure on Israel to make peace by boycotting Israeli vegetarian food manufacturer Tivall
Israel is only going to stop its occupation, blockades and wars when the economic consequences begin to escalate.
Make sure you don't buy Tivall vegetarian products like their vegetarian sausages and burgers from Holland and Barrett's. Also Tivall make the own brand vegetarian sausages for shops like Sainsbury's and Asda so boycott them as well. See Tivall's own website which shows which shops stock their products as own brands:

Boycotts work

Israel can't be defeated militarily, it can only be pressurised through either the withdrawal of American military aid (worth £3 billion a year ) or through economic sanctions either by countries or groups. As it's very unlikely the Americans or other western countries are going to change their stance towards Israel, the role of boycotts becomes more significant.
Even small drops in earnings for companies like Tivall will encourage the Israeli public to reconsider the value of continuing the occupation of the West Bank and of besieging Gaza.
If unemployment rises in Israel the occupation will begin to look like a burden the country has to rid itself of.

Would work, ancientmonument, except for one very real possibility. By and large the Israelis prefer selling to you folks in Europe because the shipping distance is less. So only a smattering of their products avalable here. But if/when you boycott they will eat the higher shipping cost and the American "Zionist" population will make sure those products don't go unsold (they'll make a point of buying them).
Of course maybe not THIS TIME (you can always hope) but that's what happened every time in the past. It's not that there isn't a lot of dissatisfaction with this or that Israeli policy among tyhe American "Zionists", but if you polarize things things to a question of survival, that tribe will stick together.

I think Israel needs to stop immediately then trade can happen again, though Israel makes alot of its own weapons it still relies on arms imports.
Also a massive UN force led by Arabic,EU& asian nations should be sent to the meditarrean off the coast of the area immediately as a strong statement that the world cannot tolerate genocides like this any longer, europe has high tech reserve forces who would be up for this.
In fact I would do voluntarily military or medicial training & join in the spirit of the international brigades, though as we dont live in a truelly democratic system monetarily or socially I am already looking into going over with a larger international medic force.
"8 January 2009 – The United Nations Security Council tonight overwhelmingly called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza leading to a full Israeli withdrawal, the unimpeded provision throughout Gaza of food, fuel and medical treatment, and intensified international arrangements to prevent arms and ammunition smuggling."
Viva,viva palestina

Strauss, based in Israel has formed a partnership with PepsiCo to buy Sabra which makes hummus and other vegetarian foods in the US. I never buy PepsiCo products anyway (just a lot of greasy sugary starchy junk foods) but I will let PepsiCo know that I will not be buying any of their hummus either.
If you want to make the boycott effective let the companies know.
I'm a vegetarian and make most of my own hummus and other meals from scratch plus I have a garden that keeps me in produce (veggies, fruit, and some dried beans) all year. But when I travel I have been buying products like Sabra or Tribe hummus. Not anymore.
