I'm still trying to get my head around the consequences - intended and unintended - of a boycott of "Israeli" products. As I have said, I will not buy Teva or Naiot shoes but the last time I bought Ahava products was from a small, Palestinian-owned shop in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City, Al Quds. I was doing my Christmas shopping and spent over $100 US, probably the week's take for the shop-keeper. Will I buy Ahava again? No, considering it is made in an illegal West Bank settlement. Would the Palestinian shop-keeper agree with my boycott? I'd say not.
