[lbo-talk] Park Slope Food Coop and Israel boycott

[Gar Lipow]

When Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" came out our local Rabbi was
not certain whether it was anti-semitic or not. But when our local
Olympia co-op decided to boycott Israeli products until Israel treated
ended its apartheid system, with lots of support and leadership from
Jewish co-op members he was absolutely sure it was anti-semitic. I'll
be glad to respond to any specific point by Heartfield when he makes
one. I'm not going to guess at the meaning of his cryptic sneers, but
will gladly respond to any actual substance if he cares to reveal any.
