* A report from Who Profits from the Occupation? details how all Israeli wine manufacturers are linked to grapes grown in vineyards on illegal settlements in the West Bank. At JVP, we support boycotts of companies that profit from Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem. This includes companies operating in or from occupied Palestinian territory, exploiting Palestinian labor and scarce environmental resources, and providing materials or labor for settlements.
