Activists Target Tesco for Suspending Worker Who Refused to Handle Israeli Products
25th November 2025
Tesco has been targeted by pro-Palestine activists for suspending a worker who refused to handle Israeli products.
The anti-Israel BDS movement – which stands for boycott, divestment and sanctions – has called for the retailer to “withdraw disciplinary action” against a member of staff at its supermarket in County Down, Northern Ireland.
The group claimed Tesco had suspended the worker “for refusing to handle blood-soaked Israeli goods”, adding that the person now “faces disciplinary action for having a conscience and not supporting genocide”.
