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

https://www.sodacentre.com/collections/syrup

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

      I was unaware of that, but it further makes me glad that I’m looking to use a vendor for syrup besides sodastream. Thanks!

      Edit: Ah I misspoke on the title. The sodastream was already purchased as a gift, I am purely just looking for syrups.

      Yeah I just did some research into this and found that they closed their West Bank facility a few years ago.

      They’re located at the Negev desert now. They even have (or had, the articles I found were old) Israelis and Palestinians working together. https://www.seechangemagazine.com/peace-in-a-bottle-sodastream-fuels-a-model-of-coexistence/

      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      That boycott page must be outdated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.

          I mean… These are what came up searching “Sodastream West Bank”

          “In October 2015, under growing pressure from activists of the Palestinian-led BDS movement, SodaStream closed its facility in Mishor Adumim and relocated it to the town of Lehavim in Israel proper.”

          In the Code Pink page, if you click on Boycott Sodastream News, there is nothing newer than 2014.

          I don’t believe so I googled before posting it to be sure and restricted my search to the last year.

          Your issue was restricting your search to last year, when there has been a lot of articles about this before then.
