Activists arrived at Ahava in Covent Garden at 11.30am this morning and two people locked on to a concrete block inside the store. The store is now completely closed, on one of the busiest shopping days of the year, and there is a protest outside. Police have arrived but have made no attempt to remove the lock-on

Ahava profit from Israeli apartheid...

There have been several previous protests at Ahava, including two lock ons and several pickets.

Well done those involved - especially the brave lock-ons. A real success, and one that we all should appreciate, emulate and participate in!

Excellent work. I was on one of the first pickets when Jonathan Hoffman was on the Zionist counter demo. This shop needs to be repeatedly targetted. And our justification for stopping it selling is that it is selling stolen goods. Question is why the Met isn't closing it down!

Pathetic

Absolutely pathetic and sad. We do ourselves no credit by boycotting Jewish companies.

bravo, illegal settler products must go

Big cheers from NYC. Israeli settler products have no place in a decent society. They cannot be allowed to profit from their latter-day colonialism and apartheid system. Draining the Dead Sea to make money from land illegally occupied in a war of conquest? No way!

Don't let them make a dime this holiday season. Shut it down!
