Heh. James is a funny guy. One might note that the 'membership requirements' are pretty much at the heart of the problem when it comes to the soi-disant Jewish State. Dunno about the healthy food, but I'll take it on faith.

Still, one wouldn't want to appear as a defender of the Park Slope Food Coop, or the Park Slope settler community generally. Arguably the proposed boycott is the best thing they've ever done. The worst is pretty bad, but they haven't built any walls... yet. And they don't run around with Uzis.

Of course James might reply that they don't need to, since the NYPD takes care of that for them. And he would be right, of course.
