The Hamilton Coalition To Stop The War (HCSW)  today announces that it will participate in a boycott action of Sodastream products at the Canadian Tire Associate Store, 686 Queenston Road, at Nash Road, on Saturday, September 21, from 11 am to 1 pm.

Sodastream is a product made in the illegal Israel settlement of Mishor Addumim on the Occupied West Bank of Palestine. It is mis-labelled “Made In Israel.” Although it has been made aware of the mis-labelling, and in spite of the fact that  the European Union recently banned such products of illegal Israeli settlements, the Harper government unfortunately allows the product to be sold in Canada. The illegal Israeli settlements are universally regarded as an obstacle to peace in the Middle East.

Sodastream is a system designed to make carbonated drinks.

The boycott action is taking place under the national auspices of the canadianboycottcoalition.ca and with the participation of five local organizations: Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, Independent Jewish Voices, McMaster Muslims for Peace and Justice,  the Hamilton Coalition To Stop The War, and the Hamilton & District Labour Council.
