The movement that once preached "give peace a chance" now finds itself excusing terrorism, boycotting Israel, and turning against the world's only Jewish state.
Thane, what amazes me is the irony. Thirty years ago, I would have assumed that progressives, the LGBTQ community, and especially the Democratic Party would be among Israel's strongest supporters. Instead, many have turned against the one Jewish state while often ignoring the realities of Hamas and radical Islam.
What is even more surprising is that politicians today can gain support by taking increasingly anti-Israel positions. A generation ago, that would have been almost unthinkable in mainstream American politics.
This didn't happen overnight. It has been building quietly for decades. The people many of us thought would stand with Israel are now often leading the opposition. It truly is a topsy-turvy world.
Another irony (among the many): if I understand correctly, some of the Israeli products the Park Slope idiots have voted to boycott are made by companies owned or co-owned by Israeli Arabs, and which employ Muslim, Druze and Jewish workers. They should rename the Coop "The Gang Who Couldn't Boycott Straight."
and the propaganda propagated by mainstream media, the growth of Muslim communities in western countries, and the huge investment 'behind the scenes' by Qatar in funding education within many universities.
“astonishing amount of hubris it requires for a grocery store that sells only a few Israeli products to believe that the world values its opinion”. Unfortunately, it requires little hubris. It’s exactly how all this is supposed to work. Death by a thousand cuts(at so little cost). And the world today reflects just how impactful these ‘non-events’ are having on the Jewish community.
The point that seems to have been missed here is that the Progessive Left was systematically infiltrated by the ghouls of the Marxist hard left. They gradually took over leadership of every organization in America that had more than a dozen members and set it on a new course. The new agenda continues to pretend that it's still all about human rights, and the collective is too ignorant or indifferent to even notice that they have been hijacked. Peace and love, bro.
By boycotting they betray their own ignorance of Israel, specifically its diversity. The population is not only Jewish; it includes Arabs, Druze and Christians. These groups have roles in the production of the boycotted products and are thus affected.

That said: Have we reached a point where; Enough is enough?
It seems the co-op didn't learn from the SodaStream boycott that cost 500 Palestinians good jobs, but why think about that when it's all about masking the guilt of their rotted souls.This is a virus that has been spreading since October 7th, and is part of a much larger plan by nefarious actors. I hope the complaint that was filed gets some traction, but it's New York so I have my doubts.

What could have drawn them? Stupidity, colossal ignorance and self important arrogance. - and of course, the US “educational” system.
and the propaganda propagated by mainstream media, the growth of Muslim communities in western countries, and the huge investment 'behind the scenes' by Qatar in funding education within many universities.
The irony they still use Israeli technology. Selective stupidity.

Today I see news in Australia that a advertisement in Facebook , seeking members in a share house says:
“Interests: tea, rice, beans … clean kitchen benches … music, poetry. Dislikes: Zio scum, fascists, Vic Pol, Islamophobes, Zio apologists, gas industry lobbyists. “No swerfs/terfs/Zionists/cops etc thanks very much.”
We know exactly what you mean. So much for the tofu lovers. We gave peace every chance — now you haters can lie in the bed you made.
Thane Rosenbaum bravely speaks truth. How do we know that? Because he has been vilified by countless leftist jews who hate America and Israel.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out in court. I think attorneys have been looking for a perfect case like this for a while.
