staff and shoppers.

Pictures show a large number of police officers at the scene and stock strewn
across the floor of the store.
West Midlands Police said one person was arrested for assaulting its officers
during the protest. Speaking on social media, a customer said: "I was just in the Tesco in Hodge
Hill, scanning my items and I heard chanting.
"Then a group of Asian men holding Palestinian flags came walking in and
starting to push products over and getting aggressive with staff and
shoppers.
"Police officers tried to stop them but I ran out."
About 100 people had gathered outside the store to demonstrate, calling on Tesco to stop all trade with Israeli agricultural companies.
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "Our officers dealt with a protest at Tesco Hodge Hill this morning where some disorder was reported. One arrested for assaulting police.
"The protest was largely peaceful among the 100 protesters but some began throwing stock inside Tesco store. Two escorted from premises.""

"Tesco, the UK’s largest food retailer, has strongly rejected claims that the Gaza crisis is forcing it to stop selling Israeli produce and products, saying that in the case of Israeli dates packaged under its own label it had decided to stop selling them in September “for commercial reasons.”
According to the grocery chain, the dates are grown in Israel but packaged in the West Bank.
“It is clearly marked as “West Bank (Israeli settlement produce)” so customers are fully aware of what they are buying,” a spokesman told The Jerusalem Post. “As part of our regular review of our range, we will not be selling this product for much longer.”"...
