Huge Retailer Bows To Pressure From the Left, Scraps Israeli-Made Products
Bowing to pressure from leftwing pro-Palestinian activists, Macy’s has decided to scrub Israeli-made SodaStream products from their shelves. In case you’re unfamiliar with the product, it’s a carbonation system paired with flavorings which allows the consumer to create their own soft drinks from the comfort of home. Sounds innocent enough, right? Not to the progressive Left.
Due to the company’s involvement in the military occupation of Palestine, Macy’s has moved to stop carrying their products. With one of their largest retail accounts scrapped, shares in the company have dropped by 45% so far this year. As Weasel Zippers noted, Code Pink is just giddy:
