Someone is going around putting these stickers on Kosher, even non-Israeli products at Publix (in Southern Florida from what I could tell from the Facebook page of the person who posted it).

A French court has fined a group of BDS'ers who invaded supermarkets in France in 2009 and 2010.
A French court imposed a $1,300 fine on members of an anti-Israel group
who called on supermarket shoppers to boycott Israeli products.
The
Court of Appeals of Colmar near Strasbourg fined each of the group’s 12
members individually on Wednesday for their participation in a
pro-boycott activity in 2009-2010, which the court qualified as
“provocation to discrimination.” The court also gave the activists a
suspended jail sentence, according to a report by the CRIF umbrella
group of French Jewish communities.
The ruling reversed a 2012
verdict by the Correctional Tribunal of Mulhouse, which found the
defendants not guilty. Prosecutors filed the appeal, CRIF said in a
statement.
The actions for which the defendants were sentenced
took place in 2009 in a supermarket in Mulhouse and again in 2010. Some
of the defendants received a double fine for each action, CRIF reported.
The
perpetrators were sentenced in accordance with strict
anti-discrimination laws, including one passed by the French parliament
in 2003 known as the Lellouche Law, after the lawmaker who drafted it,
Pierre Lellouche.
In September, seven activists were given a $650 fine for a similar action in 2010 in a supermarket in Alençon.
I believe that one of the incidents in question is in the video I posted here. There's video of a 2011 incident here.
Video: Pro-'Palestinian' BDS'ers raid French supermarket
In March 2009, I posted a video of pro-'Palestinian' activists invading a Carrefour supermarket and removing Israeli products from the shelves. It happened again last Saturday (always on Saturday) in a Carrefour in Montpellier, France.
This is the video's description (from Google translate from the French original):
Responding to the call of the BNC (Palestinian BDS National Committee) the Committee BDSFrance34 engaged in the battle against the Israeli company Mehadrin. After the victory of European BDS against Agrexco, Mehadrin is the new target of the European campaign. The action takes place on 26/11/11 in a supermarket Carrefour de Montpellier as part of the European Day against BDS Mehadrin.
Let's go to the videotape.
Again, where are the police while this is going on? This is criminal shoplifting pure and simple.
Anyone who can translate some of the French, please go ahead.
By the way, I disliked the video, and you may want to do the same by going here.
Here's a video of a BDS (boycott, divest, sanctions) protest in and around a Carrefour store in Mulhouse, France. Mulhouse is on the Swiss border - I've actually visited the community of Basel (where the first Zionist conference took place) just across the border.
Once again, you're going to watch a video of a protest and wonder why no one calls the police. Good question and I don't have an answer.
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
