Palestinian activists in the occupied West Bank have called for the boycott of the popular Rami Levy Israeli supermarket chain. The chain has several stores inside Israel鈥檚 illegal settlements.
Activists say they will call on fellow Palestinians to 鈥渁void supporting the occupation and settlements鈥 economy by boycotting Israeli goods and settlement stores鈥.
A vigil was held on September 23 outside the Rami Levy store inside the Sha鈥檃r Binyamin settlement south of Bethlehem.

The US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (USACBI) endorses and supports the call for boycott of Arizona on account of its manifestly racist laws, SB 1070 and HB 2281.
SB 1070 calls for police officers to require documentation from people to establish resident status. The law essentially requires police to engage in racial profiling and discrimination on the basis of appearance.
