Principled and courageous
font: small med large

I am glad to see coverage of the Olympia Co-op’s decision to boycott Israeli products. (“Olympia co-op votes to boycott Israeli products,” July 23). It is a principled and courageous action and naturally they are taking heat for it. Many Jews like myself are not represented by Israel and Zionism. I doubt even a majority of U.S. Jews are. I am glad to see activism that seeks to overturn Israel’s crimes against Palestinians and against Israel destroying Jewish traditions of fighting for the oppressed, and of valuing honor and justice.
