Members of the Park Slope Food Coop (a storied Brooklyn grocery cooperative founded in 1973, known for its progressive values and strict membership rules) voted on Tuesday to boycott roughly a dozen Israeli and Israeli-settlement products, including certain brands of tahini, peppers, and persimmons. Approximately 7,000 of the co-op's 17,000 members took part in a three-hour virtual meeting, with 67% voting in favour of the measure. The vote caps years of bitter internal debate, marked by verbal confrontations, vandalism, and reports of antisemitic and anti-Arab remarks, reflecting the broader social fractures in the United States over the war in Gaza.
