Update: Israeli Wines Sell Out in BC

In response to the CIC’s  call for action (see below), supporters of Israel flocked to BC Liquor Stores over the weekend, buying Israeli wine in order to thwart a planned boycott.

In fact, response was so strong that Israeli wine sold out in at least three Vancouver area stores.

The anti-Israel boycotters should realize that their tactics only serve to strengthen support and help Israel.

Original post:

Israel’s opponents are once again targeting Israeli wines in BC liquor stores for picketing and boycott.

The CIC’s  Western Region office is asking you to help send a strong message to Israel’s opponents by

BUYING ISRAELI WINE
Friday March 6/Saturday March 7
You can purchase wine from any convenient liquor store
The protest is planned for March 7, 4 p.m., at the BC Liquor Store, 4423 Main St., Vancouver

On two previous occasions, you have responded to calls for boycott by buying out Israeli wines in liquor stores targeted for picketing. This time more than ever, we need to send an unequivocal message to those who seek to isolate the Middle East’s only democracy that we stand with Israel.

Please note that this action call is in response to an announced anti-Israel picket to take place at 4 p.m. We ask that you not directly engage the anti-Israel demonstrators in any way.

Thank you again for your support.
