The sheer idiocy and depravity of anti-Israel leftists in America knows no bounds, as has been evidenced in tactics they’ve ramped up since the start of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7th.
Just to name a few, they disrupted Easter services at New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral, a Holocaust remembrance discussion at a Berkeley City Council meeting, airport travel at several high-traffic airports here in the United States, and have infamously and disgracefully pulled down posters of missing Israelis taken hostage by Hamas.
They’ve also penned letters justifying Hamas terrorists raping Israeli women and even went so far as to taunt child cancer patients.
And as George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turley recently observed in a Twitter/X thread, those tactics extend to slapping anti-Israel labels on select food products in grocery stores:
For those shopping for Passover, be prepared for these stickers which appeared on Israeli products at our local Safeway. Activists have added warnings that these products are “contaminated with apartheid & Zionism.” pic.twitter.com/cuc8qBBTj7

…Safeway must have videotapes of those responsible. The police were called yesterday…

Turley also advised that such tactics could be considered a crime:
…This can result in criminal and civil liability. On the federal side there is 18 U.S. Code § 1365 – Tampering with consumer products: “Whoever, with intent to cause serious injury to the business of any person, taints any consumer product or renders materially false or misleading the labeling of, or container for, a consumer product, if such consumer product affects interstate or foreign commerce, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”

Back in December, Philadelphia area ACME locations were also hit with a similar anti-Israel campaign by local wacktivists:
Three Acme Markets in Lower Merion had their Sabra hummus products vandalized with stickers instructing shoppers to “boycott Israeli goods” Wednesday, according to a company spokesperson.
Sabra is owned by PepsiCo and the Strauss Group, a conglomerate that got its start as a business in Israel in 1939. The company has long been the subject of scrutiny among supporters of the Palestinian cause for its connections to the Golani Brigade, which is part of Israel’s military. The company is currently working with Israel’s national food bank Leket Israel to aid farmers in land bordering the Gaza Strip.
In Montgomery County, the contents of the Sabra products were not tampered with but bright yellow stickers were placed on the lids of containers saying the hummus was “contaminated with apartheid and Zionism.”
In response to Turley’s thread noting the stickers on Safeway grocery store items, many noted that the stickers actually made them want to buy the products:
Catholic here. Anything I see with this sticker is going in my cart.

I am not Jewish, and I don’t keep kosher, but if I were to stumble across such a label at the grocery store, I’d buy the product just because it pisses off the assholes who wasted their time and money. https://t.co/H8FUExjDfT

Next time I go grocery shopping I’ll be wearing my IDF sweatshirt and will load my cart up with any products I see with these stickers… because f**k the activists. https://t.co/iY7VhjFkB9

“Activists” in reality they are terroist Hamas supporters. This will only make me want to pick this products made in Israel up. This is BDS bullcrap. https://t.co/CKJcGKIaBj

I would never eat this stuff myself, but if I saw these stickers in my local supermarket, I would buy every one of these items in stock and donate it to a local synagogue or food bank. https://t.co/bxcsSR7nkh

Marking Jewish things with symbols? Where have we seen this before… https://t.co/zIoOhTqWpo

It would appear that this tactic, too, is already backfiring on the anti-Israel activist mobs, bless their hearts. It’s no wonder they’ve gotten so desperate.
