US chain store boycotts Israeli goods

An American chain store has boycotted sales of Israeli products to protest at the policies of the Tel Aviv's regime against Palestinians.
一間美國連鎖店已杯葛銷售以色列產品的，以抗議特拉維夫政權針對巴勒斯坦人的政策。
The board of directors of the Olympia Food Co-op in Washington decided last week that no more Israeli goods will be sold at its two grocery stores in the city.
在華盛頓的奧林匹亞糧食合作社董事會上週決定，不再有更多的以色列貨物在城中的兩家食品店出售。
"We met last Thursday for the board members meeting and a pretty large group - about 40 people - presented the boycott project and answered our questions," board member Rob Richards told Ha'aretz on Tuesday.
"A couple of board members were concerned about what will be the financial effect on the organization, but it's minimal," he added.
Richards also said that two members on the board were from the Jewish community who supported the boycott.
The co-op grocery stores carried Israeli products including ice cream, crackers and a line of baby wipes.
Olympia is the hometown of Rachel Corrie, a US peace activist who was run over and killed by an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza in 2003 as she attempted to prevent a Palestinian home from being demolished.
