Sorry my commenting has been a little messed up. After some research I found some interesting information (I'll try and get you the exact source but this is what I have so far). Under all agreements between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, it was understood that Israel would retain a one mile buffer zone between the West Bank and the Dead Sea. The plant where Ahava products are made is .6 miles from the Dead Sea. Therefore, the Ahava plant is located on Israeli recognized land.

@stopBDS999 has come up with 3 brilliant arguements on why Israel should not boycotted:

1. 400 years ago, Americans slaughtered the natives and took their land, and that makes it OK for Israel to do the same.

2. Stop buying American products, when you live in America

3. Finally, love thy Jewish neightbor even if they are psychotic murdering, land theiving, children maiming, organ harvesting, human rights deniers

BOYCOTT ISRAEL! JEWS SAY NEVER AGAIN INCLUDES PALESTINIANS TOO.

@Taytaba2

…Who is one of the only groups that stood up for people in Darfur? Jews and Israelis because they believe in never again, not only about Jews but for any group.

Please in the future try and better understand what people are saying. Confusion can arise when things are misquoted so please try not to misquote me or anyone else.

@stopBDS999

Irrelevant, the subject here is Israel's crimes against humanity and violations of international law and the Geneva articles of human rights against the Palestinian people on a daily basis for the past 63 years.

It is also interesting that you quoted "Love thy neighbor as thyself" the verse from Leviticus 19:18. The rest of the verse states "Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." If you are Jewish, you are not following the rest of the verse. You are taking vengeance and bearing a grudge against fellow Jews. In context the verse means love yourself as you love your people. Please start loving the Jewish people

@Taytaba2 1) if you wouldn't buy Israeli products then you shouldn't buy American products because they too are produced on "occupied" land. By buying American products you are agreeing that the land is not "occupied" so therefore the land in Israel's possession should also not be considered occupied…

@Taytaba2

The Syrian civil war is part of huge Arab conspiracy to get Israeli people to die.....................LAUGHI­NG!!!!!

[stopBDS999]

...you have no issue with buying these American products so why do you have issue with buying Israeli made products?

[stopBDS999]

I want to point out that according to your logic America is occupied land. It was once Native Americans who, unlike Palestinians, have been ethnically cleansed. There were countless laws in America preventing Native Americans from being Native Americans, yet in Israel there are no such laws against Palestinians. We, the American people, stole the land from the Native Americans persecuted them and are producing products that you and I buy every day from so called "occupied territory"

[insomnia320]

Brilliant girls! I am going tomorrow to sing the same song at Ahava in Covent Garden in London!!!!

[Taytaba2]

@insomnia320

go for it! We are doing AHAVA Boycott in DC every week!

[insomnia320]

@Taytaba2

and I am taking the local council to court for not closing ahava down, they are using Israel labels and that is illegal because the products come from occupied Palestinian land and they remove precious minerals from the dying Dead Sea. There s no end to israel's greedy grasping 63 years of stealing, I am so mad I am going down there and wilmake life hell for them, whilst walking the little girls to school on their own land, avoiding the stone throwing illegal occupiers,

[kobi1974]

@Taytaba2 In 1948 no country called Palestine was destroyed or invaded to establish Israel.Since biblical times when the Jews owned the land until the British occupation in 1917,Palestine was never a political entity but was a part moved from one empire to the next.From the Romans,to the Arabs to Ottomans to the British.

The real settlers here R the Arabs themselves!What possible claim do people from the Arabian Peninsula have here?After all Palestine isn't a word in Arabic!

Pathetic!!!

[rachelgolem]

Laughing when Iraqi people kill each other is not Anti-Semitism.

[Taytaba2]

@rachelgolem Does not even make sense???

Murder is murder.

[rachelgolem]

@Taytaba2

Hey, I am not killing anyone. I am just a stay at home mom in "Occupied Palestine". And who am I to judge their perfect culture?

[catch22112]

It reminds me of old NAZI Germany. A soft version of "Kristallnacht"...
