The Co-op supermarket has boycotted all Israeli products — yet it proudly promotes Palestinian beer. Here’s the truth: 🍺 The beer comes from a small Christian-owned brewery in the West Bank. ✝️ Christians there have been persecuted, their population collapsing from 15% to less than 1%. 🚫 Islam strictly forbids alcohol, and Hamas forced Palestinian bars and cafes to close when it seized Gaza. ❌ I visited this brewery in 2017, toured it, bought their wine, even used it for Shabbat dinner in Tel Aviv. 😳 When I interviewed the brewmaster last year, she declined the opportunity — twice — to condemn Hamas’ sexual violence against Israeli and other women on 7 October. So why is the Co-op boycotting Israeli farmers and innovators while stocking beer from a company whose own leader won’t speak out against jihadist rape? This isn’t morality. It’s hypocrisy on tap.
