Why is Whole Foods Market, a subsidiary of Amazon, allowing hecklers just outside of their stores who are championing a make-believe "cause" that directly funds Islamist, genocidal terrorism?
This piece filled me with utter rage! These stupid people that swallow this filth! How could you accept it without trying to understand the situation. They are beyond moronic. As for Whole foods, I have no doubt their time will come. Israel is faced with permanent hate right now but you will prevail. Stay Strong!
An incredibly well-written and wonderful writing. Whole Foods is over-priced and much worse since Amazon took it over. I'd only go there to get something I can't get anywhere locally. But your answer was the best read I've had in a long time. I'll probably have to quote you in the near future (with attribution) so don't worry!
Thanks for writing this. I'm not so sure I'm ready to assume so fast that the folks asking for money for Gaza children have good motives. I'd like to know where that money, if they did receive donations, actually goes and what it is used for.
Too bad Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, her Jewish husband and Ilan Goldenberg, her Middle East expert adviser, could not join the solicitors and express how right their emotions were.
The corporate world is simply whoring to the numbers. It's a numbers game to them. Clearly, there are more pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel orcs buying Amazon/Whole Food products than Jews. So the orcs win their propaganda war. In the case of Budweiser, they dumped their Bud Light trans spokesperson only after a critical mass of consumers boycotted Bud Light in protest. Jews will never have the numbers to win the corporate world by ourselves. Which means we need to team up with other pro-Israel groups.
Dont understand why the manager of the store was not notified and the problem corrected immediately. Joshua, did you complain to staff?
Whole Foods (and most grocery stores) have an explicit "No solicitation" policy.
Solicitors rely on your discomfort to get paid and keep getting paid. Tell management. If for some reason they don't give a shit, 1-844-936-8255 for Whole Food's customer service line. Tell em the store location and that you've been aggressively solicited in the store, management did not respond when informed.
If people speak up and complain, things should get corrected.
“For reference, Gaza has no more than two million children — and that is me being incredibly liberal with my approximation. The more accurate number is somewhere between 800,000 and 1.5 million.”
Actually, according to the US Dept of State, the population of Gaza is 2 million.
“Either [the 2 panhandlers outside of Whole Foods] are diehard members of the “pro-Palestinian” cult”
An apt definition of cult is a group whose number is less than a minority. As 75%+ Judean Samarian and Gazan Arabs support Hamas, the so-called pro-palestinian advocages are not a cult and not even a minority but a majority.
“It has also been well-documented that Hamas and other terrorist organizations like Palestinian Islamic Jihad (as well as the Muslim Brotherhood, their “parent company”) use the smoke-screen of humanitarian organizations as cover to fundraise for their belligerent motivated-by-Islam terrorism . . .”
The phrase “ belligerent motivated-by-Islam terrorism' is an unfortunate choice of words because it sounds like the author is merely antagonistic to the religion. Much better and far more defensible would have been if he had said, “Quranic inspired terrorism aka Jihad as called for in many Surah of the Quran itself and in the Hadiths, let alone the Dar al Harb or House of War, those texts directing believers how to establish dominion over Kafrs or Infidels and non-Believers, i.e. the rest of the non-Muslim world.
One solution proposed, “Implore Palestinian leadership to teach their people that life is better for everyone when you love your children more than you hate and want to kill Jews.” ris total pie-in-the sky: it is absolutely diametrical to the religion which controls the culture as evidenced by their charters and actions. In other words: Will never happen.
“Back in the Palestinian Territories” Like many who defer to expressions like this, they are ceding legitimacy to a claim that will not stand up to religious, historical, or legal scrutiny. Too many Jews use their enemy's words to describe themselves, thereby losing the battle. Next, they will describe their enemy as he describes himself, thus forfeiting the war.
1. It assumes a lot without proof. The writer says the people asking for donations are either part of a “cult” or helping terrorists, but there’s no evidence for that. That’s guessing in a mean way.
2. It says helping kids in Gaza is the “wrong cause.” But helping kids anywhere—no matter where they live—is a good thing. You don’t have to be from a place to care about people there.
3. It blames all the problems on one group. The writer says it’s all Hamas’s fault that kids don’t have water, but doesn’t mention other reasons like war, blockades, or damage to water systems. Real-life problems are usually more complicated.
4. It uses hateful comparisons. The writer compares people who care about Gaza to Nazis. That’s not just wrong—it’s extremely offensive and unfair.
5. It makes fun of people who care. Instead of talking about solutions, the writer mocks people for trying to help. That doesn’t make their argument stronger—it just spreads hate.
In short: It spreads false ideas, leaves out facts, and encourages people to stop caring about suffering. That’s not how we solve problems or make the world better.
As if I needed another reason to avoid shopping at Whole Foods…

The Whole Foods near me carries "Palestinian" olive oil but no Israeli ones. Good place to drop off Amazon returns but I'd never buy anything there.

I hope you sent this to Whole Foods Corporate.

Papa j
The IDF ought to drop cartons of camels Mess up the economy. What with 40000 thousand dead (😵) they’ll be getting that many less refugee stipends.
Ifit was WWII America, proud Jews would kick their well intentioned asses.
Not that I am buying the well intentioned part.
An outstanding piece! Kol hakavod!

Surely, they do not have good intentions.

"All parties involved here — the two young men and Whole Foods — surely have good intentions".
Hope you had a great visit!
