Rasa News Agency reports – According to the reports, after the invasion of Gaza by the Israeli army, the Palestinians have decided not to buy Israeli goods anymore.

The International Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement is now encouraging the largest chain stores in the West Bank to stop doing business with the Israeli companies and sell Palestinian and international brands instead.

Yousef Sider, a marketing expert at Bravo Supermarket which supports the BDS movement said: “Israelis have occupied our homes and lands and are killing Palestinians, we don't want them to oppress us by our own money. So we have decided to stop selling their products and it will be forever."

Osama Baker also added: “boycotting Israeli products in the Palestinian markets and homes has become a culture.”
