Campaign in Argentine town calls for boycott of Israeli tourists – Haaretz

A campaign against Israeli backpackers has been launched in the Patagonian region of Argentina, where Israelis make up about 10 percent of the lucrative tourist trade.

Posters appeared Monday in the city of Bariloche, a major tourism center located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains in which most of the stores have signs in Hebrew to attract Israeli visitors, calling for a boycott against Israeli tourists.

“Boycott Against Israeli Military Tourism” was written on the posters, signed by the Palestine Solidarity Committee in Argentine Patagonia.
