The War of Ideas in the Middle East
Tablet wrote an impressively unbalanced piece about the campaign, suggesting all Park Slope Food Coop Jews hate BDS and would leave if Israeli products were pulled from the shelves (link to tabletmag.com
Not a single BDS supporter quoted, not even a straw man! In it, Mazor describes herself as "ultra Modern Orthodox." It's not a "mental deficiency" (as you say) to be progressive except palestine; it's an ideology. That's Zionism, with its tribal blinders firmly in place.
Outrage threshold for boycotts at the Coop is pretty low, it seems. In "More Democracy, Please" BDS organizers at the Coop noted that a boycott of Flaum's appetizing products passed easily in March due to worker rights concerns (link to foodcoop.com
I was wondering why the Coop stopped carrying Sonny and Joe's hummus and went back to Sabra...
An article in the August issue of the Linewaiters Gazette--which, full disclosure, I'd never read till now--notes that a motion to boycott China failed in 1995. No details on why. link to foodcoop.com
The Amy Winehouse comparison seems so spot-on that I'm slightly concerned I may have unintentionally plagiarized it from someone else. Surely Israel as Amy Winehouse has been done before...
Yep, one source told me that on his Birthright trip intermarriage and assimilation were termed "the silent Holocaust."
How have I never read Simon Rawidowicz? Thanks for the reference!
What a nutty comment thread! Any journalist who doesn't welcome a nitpicky factual correction *from any ideological camp* is a total hack (though I'll add that supporting evidence like links is ideal). If we don't put accuracy first and foremost, what's the point of anything?? GF might have a different ideological bent and we might disagree on positions--I don't know, I haven't followed their past comments--but corrections are just a public service. All writers I know appreciate vigilant readers. Alas, I wish Internet outlets like Alternet had factchecking teams...but they don't.
Good catch!
Also: I bungled Colleen Kelly's ID and asked Alternet to correct it, but they haven't yet. She's actually with St. Louis Palestine Solidarity Committee (link to stl-psc.org
