Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin found herself in an aisle in a Whole Foods store declaiming about stolen Palestinian resources. The product? Dead Sea salts.

Benjamin, who is Jewish, is an antiwar activist who has denounced Israel and Israeli policies with such venom that she got herself and her organization banned from entry into Israel.

Benjamin should have taken the time to examine a map. The Dead Sea lies on the border between Israel and Jordan; both countries extract minerals from the famous body of water; and Israel’s activities there are completely above board and legal.

What’s more, the section of Judea that borders the Dead Sea is predominantly in Area C, which is under the total jurisdiction of Israel according to the Oslo Accords.

“What I found in Whole Foods, there’s these Dead Sea salts. One of them is their own product, 365, made in Israel, and the other is a terrible company, the Dead Sea Warehouse,” Benjamin said.

“So there’s two big, big problems with these products. One is that they’re made with stolen resources. The Dead Sea resources belong to the Palestinians, but the Israelis don’t even let the Palestinians into the Dead Sea area. So it’s all being exploited by Israel,” she declared.
