Act Against the Boycott of Israeli Products

Anti-Israeli groups are planning a boycott of markets carrying Israeli products on June 20th. They have targeted Trader Joe's, as well as other markets.

What can you do? BUY ISRAELI PRODUCTS this month more than ever .

Show Trader Joe's that there is another voice that loves Israeli products and appreciates Trader Joe's for offering them to us.

Show your local markets that they make the right decision to stock their shelves with Israeli made products. Go out of your way to ASK for Israeli products.

On June 8, 2009, a group of anti-Israel protesters entered a Trader Joe's market in Pittsburgh, PA wearing T-shirts reading "Boycott Israel" on one side and "Free Palestine" on the other. They created a scene in the market by "de-shelving" all Israeli products, disrupted business, confronted shoppers by aggressively voicing anti-Israel propaganda, and handed out anti-Israel flyers. Trader Joe's told them to leave the store on the grounds that they were trespassing and threatened to call the police.

Their BOYCOTT DIVESTMENT SANCTIONS (BDS) campaign has designated for Saturday, June 20, 2009 as "World Refugee Day". The following is from their site: "We are planning a kick-off action: Saturday, June 20th--World Refugee Day. We invite you to organize in your community and deshelve, sticker, boycott, and protest the presence of Israeli products until Israel complies with international law and human rights standards!"

On June 20, go to your LOCAL MARKET or Trader Joe's and ask for Israeli products. Thank you!
