from this site: 6 Things You Buy That Help Support Israeli Brutality
at: http://www.alternet.org/world/companies-and-consumer-products-boosting-israels-brutal-occupation?utm_source=hootsuite&utm_campaign=hootsuite&paging=off&current_page=1#bookmark

this idea: "Consumers may not know it, but buying products like Sabra hummus and Sodastream helps fuel Israel’s military control over Palestinians. Some companies have factories located in one of the 125 officially recognized settlements in occupied Palestine, which are illegal under international law."

As a Jew, I am completely against Israel's actions in Palestine, so I try not to support any company operating in or around the occupied territories.
