As Trader Joe’s comes under increasing pressure from anti-Israel activists to halt the sale of Israeli products, the pro-Israel organization EndJewHatred has mobilized supporters to rally behind the popular grocery chain. According to an article that appeared last Monday on The Algemeiner web site, this situation stems from a recent petition led by Code Pink, an anti-Israel group that supports the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. The petition calls on Trader Joe’s to stop carrying products from Israel, claiming that these items support a regime that allegedly disregards international law and Palestinian rights.
Code Pink’s petition targets specific Israeli products carried by Trader Joe’s, including feta cheese, Dorot crushed garlic and ginger cubes, and the popular Israeli snack Bamba. The petition, which has gathered around 14,000 signatures with a goal of 15,000, reads, “While Trader Joe’s claims it is ‘transforming grocery shopping into a welcoming journey full of discovery and fun,’ it is certainly not fun to discover that — one year into this genocide — you are still carrying Israeli products.” The document further urges Trader Joe’s to “be on the right side of history” by ceasing its Israeli product sales.

Thank you Trader Joe for continuing to carry Products made in Israel.
Those that want to get rid of them should just stop buying them.
And by the way, they should stop using their computers and phones. They too
have mechanisms made in Israel.
What have the Palestinians contributed?
