Settlement Goods in the UK

In the UK, government advice is that retailers are permitted to label food in such a way as to distinguish between West Bank settlement produce and goods produced by Palestinian farmers.
This advice is permissive, not obligatory. Boycotters are therefore encouraged to press shops, especially supermarkets, to label West Bank products unambiguously, and to stop selling settlement goods.

• See list of settlement goods.
• Publication: Trading Away Peace.
• See also UK Government Guidelines for British companies trading with West Bank settlements.

Consider also European policies on labelling, and other difficulties associated with a Quaker boycott of settler goods.

Case Study: Some SodaStream products are produced in the West Bank. Contrast the British Quaker policy of boycott with the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) policy of substituting non-SodaStream products. Which policy seems more Quakerly?
