The Olympia Food Co-op announced last week that no more Israeli products will be sold at its two grocery stores.
Last week, the board of directors of the Olympia Food Co-op in Washington state decided that no more Israeli products will be sold at its two grocery stores in the city.
"We met last Thursday for the board members meeting and a pretty large group about 40 people presented the boycott project and answered our questions," Rob Richards, a board member, told Haaretz. "A couple of board members were concerned about what will be the financial effect on the organization, but its minimal. For me personally there is a moral imperative that goes beyond any financial concern. So we decided to adopt the boycott which went into effect the next day."
Asked whether the boycott includes all products made in Israel, or only in settlements, Richards explained: "As far as I know it concerns any Israeli products. We exempted "Peace Oil" its a joint product produced by the Palestinian farmers. Any product that is made by the company that works to improve the conditions of the Palestinians will be exempted."
Richards says the decision drew no protests.

And of course they’re getting rid of all the Intel processor chips in their computers and their cell phone voicemail and Motorola cell phones—all of which have connections to Israel (created by, manufactured in . . .)

I’m boycotting Sabra humus, as I do all humus.

I’ve read many of your posts over the years, and the thing with your response that pisses me off the most is that YOU know better.
Also had I stated as you intimate, how in the “H” does “ignoring a Liberal” translate to “kissing there ass”? One of the best ways to fire a Lib up is to ignore what spews from their torqued brains via the orifice in the front of their heads, especially Lib women.
Wow...she sure as hell doesn’t “blend in” there, does she?
It wasn’t political - the produce was full of Caterpillars.
There are, on the other hand, a large number of people who will tell you "just ignore them", but I'd rather abuse them in some manner.
I don't ever "just ignore" anyone.
True of WA west of the Cascade Curtain. East is sane.
The Jew-hating bitch has been dead how many years, and this one particular pack of leftist numbskulls just got the memo?
that’s just not right...
