ISRAELI CARROT BAN: Another chapter in a long standing tradition of protest

SuperValu’s decision not to sell Israeli carrots evokes memories of the Dunnes Stores strike relating to apartheid from 30 years ago, writes Ryle Dwyer

WHILE SuperValu has ordered all of its stores to remove Israeli carrots from their shelves, the company insists that it is not enforcing a boycott on the sale of Israeli goods, as it is apparently prepared to sell other products from Israel.

It is simply refusing to sell the Chantenay carrots.
