There's a day of vandalism and annoyance called for tomorrow by the usual groups of losers called for tomorrow at your local Trader Joe's (see this group's tactics at work in France: C'est Vichy Encore. To Trader Joe's credit, they have already stated that they have no intention of de-shelving Israeli products, but it would be a nice effort to get out there and de-shelve the stuff ourselves in the traditional manner -- by buying it. From the local JCRC:
Israeli products carried at Trader Joe's include: Dorot Crushed Garlic, Dorot Chopped Cilantro, Holyland Matzos, Pastures of Eden Feta Imported, Trader Joe's Israeli Couscous and Trader Joe's Harvest Grains Blend.
For those of us who choose to enter the Battle of Couscous, I've just posted some inviting recipes for the stuff (courtesy of my mom) at www.divestthis.com. Any additional suggested menus posted here or at the Divest This comments section will be summarized in a recipe resource posting on Monday.
Happy shopping all!

This apikorus is going tomorrow so he can flip the bird at these creeps in person.
I went out of my way today to shop at Trader Joe's (I usually don't shop there) ... the place was *packed* with long lines everywhere! I bought my Israeli product and left.
By the way ... any other store owners want to spice up sales ... put some Israeli products on your shelf and send a note to the boycotters :-)
