If there is anything a country can do wrong, Isreal does it. Beside, we give way too much attention and money to that country that’s almost useless, worthless for the US. I think banning Isreali product is going to be a great symbolic grsture and a reminder to Israel to her acts together.

Howard, Seth? Those names are more Jewish than Joan Rivers. Anyone who was ever at or by the Co Op knows is is a Jewish controlled endeavor.

A few socialist Jewish sisters tapped into their trust fund that daddy set up for them and started this cooperative.

The fact that they or any faction of them want to boycott Israel is absurd. The level of self deprivation of the Jews never ceases to amaze me.

ews

Solving the Israel vs. Palestine question isn’t going to happen on this website, or at the food co-op. The real travesty is that a few morons over there think that Israel is at the top of the human rights abusers list, such that its products should be banned. It’s the typical leftist obsession with Israel. Where are the calls to ban products from any Arab nation? Or China? Or African countries? They’re mutilating people on a daily basis, raping and stoning women and calling it legal, beating girls for attending school, imprisoning anyone who speaks out, etc. But no, Israel must be dealt with first. Then and only then will the world know peace. What a crock. Get a life.

theres a jewish shop in a jewish area where I live which stocks Israeli olives and Palestinian olives and i have not heard of any Jews trying to boycott the Palestinian product. Perhaps some don’t buy it themselves but no one has suggested that they shouldn’t be supplied. So who is promoting peace and who conflict?

Why are you so obsessed with Israel, yet say nothing about the
persecution of Christians? According to Justus Reid Weiner, an
international human rights lawyer, the dwindling Christian communities in
Palestinian-run territories are likely to dissipate completely within the
next 15 years as a result of increasing Palestinian maltreatment: “The
systematic persecution of Christian Arabs living in Palestinian areas is
being met with nearly total silence by the international community, human
rights activists, and the media.”

MAY YOU NEVER DEVELOP A DISEASE FOR WHICH ISRAEL HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE TREATMENT BECAUSE YOU’D BOYCOTT THAT, TOO. Right?

Definitely, yes. Ban products from the the ethnic cleansing Jewish Supremacist apartheid occupier state of Israel.

Such left wing bs. How convenient of the left to iignore the fact that in muslim countries gays are killed and women can’t drive a car legally…..let’s ignore that and focus on the jews…..

That’s disgusting. Only a bunch of low lives would even consider such a ban.

Please If you are banning food then close yor registers cause the chips were either made or created by Isreal. Please don’t take any of your medicationd cause you won’t know which came from Isreal. Should I go on? There’s lots more made in Isreal then just food. please boycott all of it and your life will be misreable without it. NOT just fruit!!!!

Typical right-wing nonsense from the far right. When will it end???

“Do you think the co-op should ban products from Israel?”

In a nutshell–YES.

Did we not ban products from apartheid South Africa?

Not initially.

it wasn’t until righteous people decided to takes a stand….and freedom for the South African native was still a long time coming.

The sanctions were the binding factor that lead to the dismantling of that racist policy that kept blacks from prospering and moving freely in their own native land.

It seems that hurting the oppressor in the pocket-book is most effective at gutting vicious policy born of discrimination based upon bigotry.

This is also the case with the Gay marriage legalization in NY, but for the opposite reasons: More marriages = More revenue for the state.

OKAY – BOYCOTT THE ISRAEL PRODUCTS. WHAT PRODUCTS WILL THE CO-OP SELL THAT COME FROM “PALESTINE”? NONE. I’VE NEVER SEEN “PALESTINE” OLIVES, ORANGES, FIGS OR ANYTHING FROM THE SO-CALLED “PALESTINE”

NOT ONLY THAT, THERE IS NO COUNTRY CALLED PALESTINE.

LEARN YOUR HISTORY CBS! IT WAS BRITISH CONTROLLED “PALESTINE” UNTIL THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE BETWEEN THE ARABS AND THE JEWS IN 1948 THAT BECAME THE MODERN DAY STATE OF ISRAEL!

WHAT’S DUMBER THAN A FENCE POST? CBS.COM NEWSRADIO 88.

The food co-op should stick to sellling food. Do they sell any food from Arab countries? Just asking.

This CBS report is inaccurate. In about 4 different ways. See “1010 WINS/CBS Gets it Wrong about Park Slope Food Coop Israel Boycott” at http://goo.gl/Ho4Qs

its a food coop not a political coop
You cant please everyone so stick to supplying food and not solving or getting involved with the problems of the world
I would not shop at the coop now just for that reason

The Park Slope COOP is NOT, repeat NOT considering a ban of Israeli products. There is a splinter group trying to put the ban on the agenda for consideration, against massive protest from most members of the COOP. The reporting here is completely stilted and irresponsible.

What food come from Israel? Great medicines do and Israel designed
the Intel chip ,but food???

I think as a non Jew that Palestinians should change their views about
wishing Israel to be eliminated, just saying.
No one wants Palestinian’s
in their country including all Arab states ,except as maid’s and field workers
or in little construction.
Israel is doing the world a favor by keeping Arafat’s
shiftless men under control ,they do know how to throw rocks well.

Israel has advanced in the world with technology and medicine,but Palestine even before the 1967 war just learned
to throw rocks at Jews,ans supress their women unless they become militant.

Boycotting Israeli products is not anti-semitic, and to suggest that it is displays a breath-taking disregard for the definition of the term. Israel is a state, a political entity, the behaviour of which some people disagree with. Anti-semitism is generally understood to be a dislike of jewish people (although the true definition of the term would be dislike of both jews and arabs.
When people boycott American goods, is it anti-Christian? If you won’t buy things made in Italy, are you anti-Catholic? No, of course not.
I’m sure the good people of the Park Slope Food Co-Op would be delighted to engage in reasoned argument about their decision – why not try that? Alternatively pop over there, build a wall around half of the store, and claim that God said you could have it.

Typical mindless politically correct hard left reaction. What a disgrace! I will now stay as far away from that store as possible. They have a right to free speech but we also have the right never to patronize them again.

They should boycott and it is not anti Semit because Arabs and Jews are Semit (same People.) Therefore, why should that be the reason avi? Boycutt should only last as long as Israel breaks international law and occupy Felestine (Palestine). Than you can not drag Nazi’s as always is the case when Israel is criticized.

Let’s call them (718) 622-0560 and tell them we will boycott their store if they ban Israeli products. let’s hope they will lose the business and leran their lesson.

If you begin an anti semitic boycott of Israel, reminding us of the Nazi’s boycott of jews, I pray that the jewish community and supporters of Israel make your lives miserable. I am sure that singling out Israel for boycott in against the law in the US and you will pay accordingly.
