ANTWERP (EJP)---Following calls by pro-Palestinian activists in Belgium to organize a weeklong boycott action of  Israeli products in supermarkets, a Jewish organization in Antwerp has invited the community to counter this action by buying en masse these products.

The Forum of Jewish Organizations publicized the names of all the products listed on the website of a Belgian coordination for the boycott of Israel and invited Jews in Antwerp to come to a supermarket in the city on December 1 and buy as much Israeli products as possible.   

The union of independent entrepreneurs UNIZO has condemned the boycott call and denounced the import of foreign conflicts in the country. Such a boycott, it said, will only hurt local companies and trade.
