The BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement is an tactic from the anti-apartheid effort now adopted by the anti-Israel groups in the US and Europe. Of course, it completely ignores the actual fact, which is that Arabs in the State of Israel have citizenship and full and equal political and civil rights.

Periodically, this effort targets stores selling Israeli products, in an effort to persuade them to stop stocking them. This time, they have focused their efforts on Trader Joe's. The good news is that Trader Joe's isn't buying the garbage being peddled by the anti-Israel groups, but will continue to buy (and sell) the Israeli products that they have provided for years. (Disclaimer: I just love shopping at Trader Joe's. It's the only store I know of around here where I can--and do-- buy Osem couscous, Eden feta, or the Dorot frozen cubes of garlic, basil and cilantro.)

This letter was received by the Central Pacific office of the Anti-Defamation League from Jon Basalone,Senior VP, Marketing, Trader Joe's:

“We have received a few letters like this via our customer relations email as well. Our response is that we sell products, and do not use our products as political tools or to make any statements about any political causes. We have no intention of removing any products based on pressure from any group, no matter what they support or don’t support. As always, we believe our customers are smart, and they are capable of making decisions about what they purchase. Let me know if you have any more questions or need more information.”

So the good news is that nobody has to contact Trader Joe's to urge them to keep Israeli products in the stores. However, the anti-Israel groups behind the BDS effort have called for concerted action on June 20 (World Refugee Day) to \"de-shelve\" Israeli products from Trader Joe's. Somehow, the Arab regimes that have kept their Arab brethren locked in refugee camps for 60 years avoid any responsibility for this--I don't see Lebanese, Egyptian or Jordanian products being targeted.

Now, I only know of 3 ways to \"de-shelve\" a product-- you get the store to pull it off the shelf, you buy it, or you steal\/vandalize it. Given that the first has already proven a failure, and I don't think they plan to BUY a whole bunch of couscous, that leaves stealing and vandalizing.

So, go to your local Trader Joe's and do three things on June 20 (or, if you are shomer Shabbat, on June 19):

1. Buy a whole bunch of Israeli products (if they are off the shelf, maybe someone else read this and bought the entire stock-- so go to the store manager and tell him\/her they need to buy more!)

2. Tell the store manager to keep stocking these products because you really like them!

3. Also tell the store manager that anti-Israel groups have declared June 20 as a \"National Day to De-Shelve Israeli Products\" so they can be aware of potential efforts to shoplift, deface or otherwise vandalize these products.

And please pass the couscous.\n","contact":"","link":"http:\/\/www.bluetruth.net\/2009\/06\/fight-bds-movement-shop-at-trader-joes.html","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Fight the BDS Movement--Shop at Trader Joe's on June 20!","numcomment":20,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2009\/06\/228031.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":228032,"heading":" Trader Joe's Under Leftist Assault Over Israel","article":"I received this message from a colleague alerting me to the fact that Trader Joe's, a well-known market for imported foods and wines, is now under pressure to stop selling products made in Israel (like Israeli cous cous, for example). This effort is being launched by South Bay Mobilization, a leftist, activist anti-Israel bunch in San Jose, California. In addition to its letter to Trader Joe's asking them not to sell Israeli products, this bunch is asking its members to actually go into local Trader Joe's stores on June 20, which if you did not know, is "World Refugee Day" and "Day to de-shelve Israeli products". It appears they will do what French activists have been doing, filling their shopping carts with Israeli products (with great fanfare) then leaving them in the aisle. Neat, huh? Basically, they conduct themselves like vandals.\r\n\r\nThere is a letter below written by the Jewish advocacy group, Stand With Us that you can send Trader Joe's if you wish to counter the correspondence sent by SBM. At any rate, you might consider buying some Israeli products next time you go to Trader Joe's. I know I will.\r\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nDear Friends,\r\n\r\n\r\nI have received some excellent ideas about how to approach the South Bay Mobilization's call for TJ's to boycott Israeli products. Here are some practical suggestions from two correspondents:\r\n\r\n\r\n1) "I would suggest calling Trader Joe's, getting a contact and sending them that YouTube. What occurred in France is bound to be illegal because it jeopardizes Traders Joe's inventory and borders on vandalism. I would also encourage as many of us-Israel supporters to go into Trader Joes throughout the day [on June 20th] and if we have t-shirts that are supportive of Israel-wear them, go in there and BUY what they sell from Israel (I know they have goat cheese and frozen herbs ). Also, ask for Israeli wines (I hope they may soon stock them)."\r\n\r\n\r\n2) "I suggest a counter letter writing campaign to Trader Joe's in support of continued selling of Israeli goods. In the letter, we would refute the bogus arguments. Other points could be that Trader Joe's has alot of Jewish customers who greatly appreciate the large number of kosher products. All products from Israel are kosher ( to the best of my knowledge) and boycotting Israeli products is not anti-Israeli but rather anti-Jewish."\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you should want to contact TJ's corporate headquarters, here is their info (I think the email addresses are correct, but I'm not sure):\r\n\r\n\r\nDon Bane, Chairman and CEO (dbane@traderjoes.com)\r\nDoug Rauch, President (drauch@traderjoes.com)\r\nCharles J.

Such policies echo those that Arab countries have had since well before Israel's rebirth in 1948, and they also encourage and strengthen extremists who continue to undermine the peace process.\r\n\r\nWe note that the letter is a one-sided and self-serving view of the conflict. For example, there is nothing that describes the relentless terrorism coming from the variety of radical Palestinian groups surrounding Israel, including Iran-backed Hamas and Hezbollah, and fundamentalist groups like Islamic Jihad. We notice that their letter does not refer to Hamas, whose founding document calls for the murder of Jews and the destruction of Israel and which has caused the major problems for those who dream of peace in the region.\r\n\r\nAlso not mentioned in the letter, is the fact that Israel is only the size of New Jersey, and the terrorist groups surround it and continue to launch rockets from Gaza into Israel while calling for the ethnic cleansing of the Jewish people (check their founding documents, you can find them online).\r\n\r\nWhat is mentioned in their letter is historically inaccurate, including issues about "stealing Palestinian land" and the building of the "segregation wall." It\u2019s important to note that Jews have been in the region for over 3,000 years \u2013 all the archeology points to this fact \u2013 and the Palestinian Arabs never had a country in the region. While there are Palestinians who dream of peace and a better life for their children, the Palestinian leadership has never agreed to compromises that would have created two states, and they have tried to destroy Israel instead. Simply put, any negotiations that Israel has with the Palestinians will result in the creation of a new Palestinian\/Arab state, not a reconstitution of a former entity. It is also important to note that the "segregation wall" is simply a security fence, which was built in response to the campaign of suicide bombings and terrorism launched by Palestinian leadership in 2000. The fence has helped reduce suicide bombings by almost 100 percent.\r\n\r\nWhile Israel certainly is not perfect, no amount of propaganda can convince well-informed people that Israel is arbitrarily attacking its neighbors for sport.\r\n\r\nWe have always loved shopping at Trader Joes because you clearly have not allowed yourselves to be censored by political prejudice but rather offer an array of products that reflect the various tastes of your patrons.

Each\r\ngroup and individual should decide for yourselves what makes sense for you.\r\n\r\nPossible actions include (& can be used in combination):\r\n\r\n1. Leafleting outside stores (a downloadable leaflet will be posted here\r\nvery soon), with lists of the Israeli products carried by the establishment\r\nyou're targeting\r\n2. Giving consumers a coupon to present to the cashier when they check\r\nout, asking the store to stop carrying Israeli products\r\n3. Putting "Don't Buy Into Apartheid" stickers on the products and\r\nleaving them on the shelves (see exemplary photos)\r\n4. Removing products from shelves and piling them in the front of the\r\nstore\r\n5. Removing products from shelves and leaving them in hard-to-find places\r\nin the store\r\n6. Removing products from the store and dumping them in the street\r\n7. Damaging products in some way (e.g., pouring fake blood or ketchup on\r\nthem) so they cannot be reshelved\r\n8. Singing, guerrilla theater or speechifying inside or outside of the\r\nstore (see exemplary video)\r\n9. Protesting\/picketing\/bannering outside the store\r\nMost actions will have multiple components and options for people who don't\r\nwant to risk arrest, along with more confrontational options.\r\n\r\nLeafleting is an important component of any action, because we are trying to\r\nbuild awareness of Israeli apartheid and human rights abuses and the BDS\r\ncampaign. We are working on a sample leaflet which will be downloadable\r\nhere very soon.\r\n\r\nActions will have different legal consequences depending on what they are\r\nand the situation in your community. We recommend contacting your local\r\nNational Lawyers' Guild chapter if there is one, or other progressive\r\nlawyers for advice before you take action.\r\n\r\nSend us your plans!!

The fact that both imports have flopped has not seemed to discourage boycotters from bringing to our shores a tactic even more likely to turn the public against their cause: attacking the shelves and assaulting customers at Trader Joes.\r\n\r\nThis all began in France where a gang of Palestinian supporters took it upon themselves to enter a French supermarket where they pulled Israeli goods off the shelves in protest of the quality of couscous (whoops! I mean as a glorious and courageous \u201craid\u201d into the very heart of enemy territory). This trespass and destruction of property was apparently not punished, possibly giving US-based BDS-niks the idea that they could pull off the same stunt with impunity (ignoring the fact that the French supermarket in question was in a neighborhood that had seen violent clashes between armed gangs and the police, which might have made supermarket managers a little gun shy).\r\n\r\nGiven that the threat of local armed violence over the Arab-Israeli dispute is not yet a feature of US retail (yet), the divestment crew chose to start by sending Trader Joe\u2019s a form letter (versions of which seem to be cropping up around the divestment community lately) asking them to live up to their lofty corporate principles by refusing to sell Israeli products (including the aforementioned couscous). Ironically, the incident allowed the funky food retailer to actually live up to its principles by telling boycott advocates (and here I paraphrase) to go fuck themselves.\r\n\r\nBold and courageous activists in Pittsburg then turned ugly on the company they had previously tried to cajole (sound familiar?) and walked into a Trader Joe\u2019s shop where they proceeded to pull Israeli goods and\/or shove their usual misinformation into the hands of customers before being tossed out of the store for trespassing.\r\n\r\nUndeterred, the BDS community throughout the land called for a national day of de-shelving Israeli products on June 20 (this coming Saturday). One hopes that before they get started they realize the two ways of performing such de-shelving (other than buying all the couscous for themselves) would involve (1) shoplifting, a locally prosecutable criminal offense or (2) defacing said Israeli products to make them unsellable, which turns out to be a prosecutable federal offense under the US Product Packaging Protection Act of 2002. Then again, perhaps it would be best if they didn\u2019t realize this, but that store managers did.\r\n\r\nOnce more we have an example of what I\u2019ve referred to in the past as \u201cfantasy politics,\u201d whereby people make political choices not because it will have an impact on the public or advance a particular cause, but in order to make themselves feel as though they are uniquely righteous or part of some kind of global vanguard.\r\n\r\nBy any stretch of the imagination, bothering strangers while they buy frozen dumplings in Pittsburg is not going to move the needle on American support for Israel one angstrom. It\u2019s not going to change company policy at Trader Joe\u2019s or anywhere else. But presuming they don\u2019t get thrown behind bars, it will leave the boycotters able to brag to their buddies how they took on the overwhelming power of imperial Zionism at the Battle of Couscous and allow them to go to bed at night (in their parent\u2019s basements) thinking about their unquestioned bravery and wondefulness. Never mind that all they accomplished was annoying food shoppers and getting thrown out of a store like a bunch of rowdy teens.\r\n\r\nAs an aside, I\u2019ve always through Trader Joe\u2019s to be a bit overrated, but last weekend I bought a box of Israeli couscous (having confused the Day of Couscous Rage by a week) along with some of their veggie sticks (to eat while watching the truly overrated Music Man on DVD with my kids). And damn if I didn\u2019t get change (over $1 worth) from my $5 for those two items! That combined with their way-cool response to the whole boycott idiocy left me firmly in the Trader Joe\u2019s camp. So go Joe! And by Israeli! (Especially next Saturday.)
