Copyright David Blake. "IN RESPONSE to recent protests by supporters of Palestine outside King Street store Kedem, supporters of Israel and members of Manchester's Jewish community have taken to standing guard outside the business over the past two days. "The ingredients are taken from an area of Israel which is Israeli owned and not on disputed territories. Our factory is in Caesarea North of Tel Aviv, which again is an Israeli owned territory and not on disputed territory." Cosmetic store Kedem, which stocks products imported from around the Dead Sea in Israel, has drawn protesters as the Middle East peace process lays in tatters and casualties rise in Gaza. One Palestinian sympathiser told Confidential at the protest on Wednesday 23 July: "We believe that any money sent to the Israel is a penny against peace in Palestine. That's why we're here today." Supporters of Palestine held up signs outside the store reading: 'Boycott Kedem. Stolen Goods. Stolen Land', as chants of 'Free, free Palestine" rang out along King Street."
