Rainbow Grocery Casts a Vote for Israeli Apartheid
Rainbow Grocery: Organic Arab Blood for Sale
Way to go Rainbow! You've really shown us what cowards and hypocrits you truly are! Shame on you for supporting such racist state!
You are so fucking worried about Zionists who don't even shop there, while ignoring the will of your true customer base. Rainbow doesn't just exists for the workers privilege, it exists for the community and you have shown us that you don't GIVE A FUCK about the Rainbow grocery community patrons opposed to the Jewish-only apartheid state.
I am so disappointed in you. I am sickened to my stomach. I have shopped at Rainbow for close to 10 years and I have never been so angry as I am with you right now.
You have shown me that you don't care about the injustice done to Arabs or to those who support a secular, democratic, egalitarian Israel/Palestine. You have shown me that you have nothing but contempt for your anti-racist customers. Instead, you cower in fear from assholes like Michael Lerner and his kinder, gentler fascist friends.
Listen up, Rainbow Grocery, YOU WILL NEVER have my hard earned dollars or support as long as you continually take the coward's way out and support what we all know we wouldn't allow in our own country!
You talk about peace and democracy, but you don't expect it from your own vendors! You are sooo full of shit!
I will NEVER "agree to disagree" when it comes to opposing apartheid. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? I will never respect a business that knowingly does business with the racist Israeli state. You can kiss my support goodbye!
Shame on you and the day you made this terrible decision. I will never forget this!

Boycott Vote Update
August 22, 2003
The worker-owners of Rainbow Grocery Cooperative have voted against participating in a boycott of Israeli products.
Rainbow Grocery is a worker-owned, democratically run cooperative. With almost 200 worker-owners, there are a wide variety of positions on this issue. We have spent many months discussing the boycott, its consequences, and political effectiveness, within our collective and with members of our larger community. We hope that you appreciate and respect our democratic process, even if you disagree with our decision. Though many of us continue to disagree on this issue, we have agreed to disagree and stand by the results of the vote out of respect for one another and our cooperative. We thank you for your continued support.
