Dozens of shops on Etsy – the popular online platform for selling and buying artisanal and vintage items, with a mission to “keep commerce human” – are explicitly labelled as located in illegal Israeli settlements (in the Palestinian West Bank and the Syrian Golan Heights). That is a key finding of this new research report, co- published by the IJSC, Global Justice Now and War on Want.

So far, Etsy’s connections to these illegal settlements have gone under-the-radar and unchallenged. That, at least, ends now.
