On Saturday, June 20, a militant anti-Israel group will be attempting to threaten, harass and intimidate Trader Joe’s markets (and customers) to stop selling goods produced in Israel. Not only have they promised to leaflet in front of stores, they have threatened to de-shelve products in the stores. They may try to open, deface or destroy these products on store shelves. They may also attempt to steal merchandise. We need everyone to buy all Israeli products from Trader Joe’s next Saturday and tell the store manager to keep them coming. All friends of Israel should visit their local Trader Joe’s on Saturday, June 20th.* (Those who are Shomer Shabbat are asked to shop on the 19th and explain to the manager about what may take place the next day and why you will continue shopping at Trader Joe’s for stocking Israeli-made products.)
If you see someone tampering with or stealing any products–especially those listed below–call attention to what they are doing and immediately call for store security.
Here’s Trader Joe’s answer to those calling for a boycott of Israeli products from their stores: “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.“ Right on, TJs!
Here is a list of Israeli-made products we have found at Trader Joe’s. If you know of more than those listed below, please write to us and we’ll add it to the list:
Dorot Crushed Garlic (frozen cubes). Also available: Cilantro and Basil
Gates of Eden Feta Cheese
Osem Israeli Couscous
Telma Felafel Mix
Matzo
And it wouldn’t hurt to ask for the following wines to be sold at TJ’s: Golan Heights Winery, Carmel Mizrachi and Barkan.

I thank you for bringing this to the world’s attention, but its not enough, we need to use our know how on the web to respond by threatening these groups by retaliating internationally boycotting against their small Mom & Pop stores too.
