edit update: I'm not trolling. I'm sincerely asking. for real. I don't get it. why is it okay for a mass email condemning this guy with a formal investigation?

I mean this very sincerely, in as much good faith as I can muster. I don't understand why the use of this phrase is worth all this outrage, Israel has a system that in many ways seems to be apartheid in favor of it's Jewish citizens. It's flag has a massive star of David on it, the Jewish religious symbol. It feels like a case of wanting it both ways, it's the Jewish state, for Jews, and it's symbol is the Jewish religious symbol and yet somehow it's unfair to describe it as Jewish supremacy? I'm white and I understand that white supremacy is very much a problem, I'm capable of understanding that, and I don't shut down when I hear the phrase.

So far all I've heard, over and over again, is that it's extremely offensive and anyone who uses it must be a raging antisemite. It feels like if you drop a bomb with a religious symbol on a group of people who aren't of that religion you might get accused of being Jewish Supremacist. Much like how acknowledging white supremacy doesn't mean you want to get rid of all the crackers, I don't think acknowledging Jewish supremacy means you want to get rid of all the Jews.

Given that 75% of meetings are dedicated to BDS related topics and the PSFC members for Palestine have coalesced so much support with members on many committees--what comes next if BDS is passed? What will replace/supplement all the energy dedicated to this action?

If you are a Coop member, please join members and staff who are pushing to move the upcoming votes (on boycott and supermajority rules) from the general meeting floor to a referendum — an electronic ballot emailed to every member.

Why it matters: A referendum is truly "one member, one vote". Members can vote asynchronously, from anywhere — not just those who can attend the meeting in person. This lets the full Coop community weigh in on major decisions, instead of a small group setting our direction.

What to do:

  1. Register at foodcoop.com to attend virtually
  2. Join the next general meeting: Tuesday, May 26
  3. Vote YES to referendum when prompted

Your presence at the General Meeting really matters, as does having enough members who want to see major issues voted on via Referendum. Thank you for helping keep our Coop democratic.

I'm glad the Coop is taking this seriously and not just treating it like it's some raving Coop kook, but that line made me laugh out loud.

It‘s a supermarket with decent prices and a wide variety of interesting products. I’ve enjoyed being a member there for the past 12 years and not once have I felt the need to voice my politics as I shop for imported cheeses and locally sourced meats.
