How you can help

Buy Israel - if everyone does a little, together we can make a difference.
,

Buy Israeli Potatoes, Fruit, and Herbs sold in Ireland
You can help defeat the brutal wave of terror that Palestinians are waging on the Israelis. The International Courts have failed to act, so it's critical for individual people to take action in solidarity with Israel.

Buy Israel - if everyone does a little, together we can make a difference.
We think of the common potato or 'spud' as being part of Irish history. We may imagine that all potatoes sold in Irish shops are grown in Ireland. However, many Irish shops and supermarkets, including Dunnes Stores, Tesco and Marks&Spencer sell Israeli Potatoes, rather than Irish 'spuds'. The profits from, and taxes imposed on, these goods help Israel to defend its people from the wave of islamfacist suicide bombers

Other Israeli goods commonly sold in Ireland include Jaffa Oranges and Carmel fruit.

Israeli herbs such as Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, Thyme, Basil, and Coriander are also commonly sold here.

What you can do to make a difference
Buy Israeli Goods, and encourage others to do so as well.
Look for 'Country of Origin' or 'Produce of' labels on everything; if something is from Israel buy it.
Commend the management of shops that stock Israeli produce, in person or in writing, using your power as a consumer
Boycott alternatives to Israeli produce
Highlight and commend the involvement of Irish Companies with Israel. Examples include CRH, which owns 25% of an Israeli cement company supplying materials for building the Security Fence, and Fyffes, which distributes Israeli fruit in Ireland and Britain.
Build awareness of, and opposition to, the worsening situation in Israel -- write to your local or national newspapers; contact your elected representatives.- demand an end to the terror
Organise a Buy Israeli goods campaign outside shops that stock Israeli goods
If you need assistance, contact the Irish Friends of Israel
Sign the Irish Friends of Israel petition demanding an end to Islamofascist terror
