I'm looking at buying a sodastream - where can I find good syrups? (lemmy.world)

I live in the US, and can only seem to find a variety of soda syrups that ship to Canada here.

This was my best lead but am looking for sometime similar.

Didn't they close their West Bank factory back in 2015?

That boycott page must be outdated

@Salix yes, in 2015 they moved production from the West Bank to a new factory near Rahat, in the Negev/Naqab desert, where they now employ a lot of Bedouin people.

However, the Boycott Divestment Sanctions movement still suggests boycotting SodaStream because of the nature of the area and labourers. While Israel designated Rahat for the Bedouin, the surrounding villages are "unrecognized".

Although far less high-profile than the Israel-Palestine conflict, Israel has come under international criticism for its human rights violations of the Bedouin, who now have various levels of citizenship, and whose "unrecognized" homes are controversially subject to demolition and sometimes built over with new Israeli settlements. See also the Wikipedia pages for Nagev Bedouin and Palestinian Bedouin.
