You should do a google search for all the companies that have been around for a long time that have been fined for illegal and unethical behavior. You can start with L'Oreal. They were sued for discrimination just a couple of years ago. Wow, people like you are the reason that bad stuff is still going on today. You blindly believe and financially support companies/organizations that don't care about anything or anyone except themselves and their shareholders. Pitiful! Really???!?!

Like all Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine this settlement has been established in contravention of international law. Australia’s national broadcasting network, the ABC, has reported that “…the Dutch Government has ordered an investigation to confirm whether or not Ahava's products are indeed made on occupied land. ADAM KELLER: We know for sure that they are located in the north west shore of the Dead Sea, which is occupied by Israel since '67. ANNE BARKER: Adam Keller represents Gush Shalom, a pro-peace organisation that campaigns against Jewish settlements.” http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2009/s2752246.htm I am afraid it is true that Ahava products are made in the settlement Mitzpe Shalom.

Ahava markets itself as made in Israel, but in fact its factory and visitor center are in the occupied West Bank, in illegal settlements. Ahava is also 40% owned by settlements.The settlements are all built on Palestinian land seized by military force and are illegal under international law. It is also illegal to exploit the natural resources of occupied territory, which is what Ahava is doing by building its factory in the settlements, where there are almost no labor or environmental laws. The EU and the British government have already voiced concern that Ahava's "made in Israel" label is deceptive.
