Pro-Palestinian Deshelving Vandalism at Trader Joe's
I wrote recently about the recent effort by a bunch of San Francisco Bay Area loons to intimidate Trader Joe's from carrying Israeli products. Fortunately, the effort fizzled and Trader Joe's and their Israeli products got an upsurge in sales.
Above is a video made June 20, at a Bay Area Trader Joe's.
So who are these yahoos with too much time on their hands who think they can bully and intimidate people? As I previously identified them, they are called the South Bay Mobilization.
Another "organization" is the anti-Israel Boycott Divestment and Sanctions Movement (BDC). Take a look at them in the video. These are not 18-20-somethings. These are "grown-ups" and middle aged folks, probably academic types or just plain left-wing radicals looking for a cause du jour.
Many of these same yahoos are presently involved in the showing of the film, "Rachel" at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival this week-end. (See my previous post.)
As for Trader Joes, they will undoubtedly be subjected to more harassment since they have chosen to stand up to the bullies. So don't forget to support this store-and don't forget to pick up a few Israeli products while you're there.

The more they do this, the more money Trader Joe's make. It seems that when word gets out about these so-called actions, the counter protesters rally to the stores and buy them out.
That's why I post it.
Would you prefer they shoot rockets instead?
Bryan,
In that case, they would be arrested for sure, wouldn't they?
Same mentality. If you want an example of a Middle East issue of mistreatment of people, read my latest post.
I guess hypocrisy is the key to flexibility for these vandals.
