Jordan: Muslims, Leftists Protest Israeli Fruit

(IsraelNN.com) Muslim extremists and leftists united on Saturday in Jordan to protest imports of fruit grown in Israel. Hundreds of protesters organized a sit-in and called on merchants to boycott Israeli produce, particularly exotic fruits such as mango, kiwi, and pineapple. Many protesters burned Israeli flags and empty boxes used to ship Israeli fruit.

Several members of Jordan's parliament participated in the protest. While Jordan is officially at peace with Israel, many Jordanians remain hostile towards Israel and companies that do business with Israel frequently face boycotts.
