Tree huggers make me sick. Why are you not removing saudi, Lebanese, Syrian, Jordan, Egyptian...The list goes on and on. Why not protest the these countries? I am sure that non of them have ever lived in the middle east. Go live in a place like saudi and try doing this kind of thing and see what happens to you. You all should be ashamed. Muslims kills more people then anyone and all you have to do is concentrate on Israel?
Good job guys ! Oh yeah, it's illegal to do that but the settlements are perfectly legal ! Of course but because Israel & USA do not recognize the International Criminal Court ! How convenient.

@jonlg46 thank you for your email - I too will double my efforts to buy these Israeli products and I too thank Trader Joe for carrying these products and not being intimidated
did these people really think they'd garner support by posting this?
These people have accomplished nothing besides making their ignorance undeniably obvious.
I'll buy 10 israeli products for every one that they deface. They said it themselves; consumers decide what's on the shelves. By the time we're all done, this place will be called "Trader Joel's."
this is a perfect example of a group of ppl who Really need help , didn't any one hear of the word racism?, never mind your opinion, which is twisted and come from no background what so ever , i bet none of u stepped a foot in the state of Israel, but who do u think u are taking over privet property and trying to force Other ppl who dont share ur opinion to change what they can and cannot buy?
The grenade is the perfect symbol for an anti-Israeli group. I would be more than happy to boycott Israeli products when you can guarantee a stop to suicide bombings of innocent civilians in Israel. Since there are Arabs living freely in Israel I think you need to educate your group on the meaning of apartheid.
@53anli well to start it is a religious war that has been operating since the crusades. I think the real issue is, if Palestine sends a rocket and it hits nothing but an inanimate object Israel still kills around 10-100 Palestinians per rocket, "Self defense" lol they are not at real risk remember they have nuclear armed war heads, a little rocket isnt a threat, an orbiting war head is a real challenge for them not conventional weapons. They have 1/3 the USA Funds, They even own F16's and Apache
This is despicable and appalling that the Trader Joe's management let them stay in their store and deface and trash the products and let them spew lies by giving out their propaganda and bother the patrons this way!! It is a store not a political arena. Would they allow another ethnic group to come in and remove and damage their products, take over their store with their agenda? I doubt it! Why were the police not called in?!!
A misguided group of well meaning people.There are as many Jews of muslim countries origins displaced that there are Palestinians. The same happened at the creation of Pakistan and Turkey. Or is it only Israelis that should be accused of apartheid, The only country in the middle east that give equal rights to all its citizens. Who should the israelis talk to? Hamas ? that wants to destroy Israel or islamise it as they tried in Lebanon, Fatah? corrupt and unable to run its own institutions.
What's the matter with you people?? I'm not Jewish and I've never been to Israel, but I know a lot of Jewish people. None of them would ever consider destroying other people's property to make some sick point. If you don't want those products, don't carry them in your party stores . . . a**holes!
The Jew fears most that which hits him in the pocketbook. Do not pay any mind to their silly diversions to this act of resistance against the Occupiers of Palestine.
I'm not very fond of Israeli policies, and I want to preserve people's rights to free speech and protest, but I think it is pretty outrageous that these people not only protested, but also took goods off the shelves and damaged them by putting on stickers, but did not pay for the goods. That's not protest, that's defacement of property, and they should answer for it.
Palestinian Fanatics indeed. WHERE was the manager of the store. He should have had them all ushered out of the store. Was he afraid to stop them from placing those labels on the Israeli products?
I hope ALL of these animals with their families are murdered in a terrorist attack. They should meet their fate like the people in the world trade center. MUSLIMS kill and are terrorists. Period. It doesn't matter if it's in Israel, Madrid, London, Mumbai, Ft. Hood, Thailand and on and on and on............I hope the police and FBI were called and they were held accountable.I noticed the bitch at the end had an accent. GET THE HELL OUT OF MY COUNTRY. We don't want you here. GO play with a camel.
Shit head my family has been here since almost the beging of time. We have fought in almost every war for the US. These newcomers do no adopt US law, customs and they only breed terrorism. It started with Sirhan Sirhan and it ends with Najibullah Zazi and the panty bomber Christmas eve.. Hundreds of attacks have been perpetrated by These people here in the US including 9/11. No they don't have a history in the US. Only that Jefferson had to deal with Muslim terrorism. KNOW YOUR HISTORY>
Do you seriously think everyone here is from your Zionist-infected country? The U.S. was great... once... before the Federal Reserve and the banking clans turned it into a glorified slave colony. Name the "hundreds of attacks" that have taken place in the U.S. Come on, put your money where your big mouth is.
the only slavery is in Muslim countries. Oh I can see how much you loathe America. It's seeping in your rhetoric. You can't compare Noahide laws to Sharia. Sharia is barbaric. You probably hate the constitutuion too. From the way you speak I bet you have NEVER done a damn thing for this country. First Muslim attack on US was 1783 involving the Barbary pirates. Since then 3, 308 americans have been killed in 65 attacks. Not including Ft. Hood.
Fuck you . YOur mother should of had an abortion. Subhuman piece of shit. I wish you would come here and I could show you the end of an m4". Garbage like you and your kind should be wiped off the face of the earth. Huck peepee or what ever the hell your name is. DROP DEAD
I see you are NOT AMERICAN so shut your pie hole. What the hell have you ever done for America? I am military so don't shoot your dumb ass mouth off. Go crawl under whatever third world country you escaped from.Live under Sharia keep your burqa women. Maybe you can play with explosives and blow yourself up like all the one armed, one eye terrorists.Christians are going to rise up and stand against all you nut jobs. And support Israel too.
Yeah when you are bowing down to mecca I'd like to put my foot up your large asshole. I don't see any sign that you are smart. All I see is one MF who loves Muslims. I'd love to blow up your tent with all the HARA that surround you.
No, I don't hate America. Most Americans are fine, decent people who are being taken to the cleaners by a small and unscrupulous so-called "elite". You obviously hate America, as you seem to think that the control of its government by a foreign state poses no problem at all.
I love America and western civilization. You love a backward way of living. America is not compatible with ancient thinking and Sharia. We are a free democracy. People like you and those @ trader joe do not belong in the US. PERIOD. Besides terrorism you don't contribute anything to the fabric of our society. No history in these United States.
You've been asked this before. Who are you to decide who gets to stay in the US and who goes? Shouldn't those who have taken over your government on behalf of a foreign power (Israel) be the ones to leave?
Buddy I am an American and I am responding to someone who is NOT. Who the fuck are you?If you aren't you can get the hell out too. I am sick of all of these terrorist coming into the country. I can see your're one of them as you refer to "your government"( not OUR government). Go crawl into your cave. I have the right to say what I please as I am here for generations. The people in this video are stealing. They are destroying store property. That's in the culture of Islam...REMEMBER 9-11
What you lack in intellect you attempt to make up for with your foul mouth and your juvenile insults. I'll grant you that much.
Sullivan912 is right. Who are you that YOU should decide who stays in your country or who leaves? You seem to love Israel so much maybe you should make Aliyah.
Yeah, lots of people remember 911. They remember the Israeli spies who were caught dancing as the buildings fell. They also don't believe a word of the bullshit your government has fed them.
YOU are no Genius bud. AMERICANS decide who comes here and who should leave.Not you or the other foreigners. The 9/11 stuff that you quote is such crap. The only ones who danced are the Muslims.The same ilk that blew up the buildings in the first place. I knew you weren't American so therfore you can have your opinion but they don't count.
Take some of your Muslims back to wherever you are. HARA
Unfortunately, the world bases hatred on propaganda from Hammas. Hammas destroys reports or photos if they do not like them.Israel that allows dissent. Americans are too PC and afraid to say what they think about Palestine and Islamic fanatics who defile their religion.Since WWII Arab nations do not support Palestine and expelled them fromLebanon, Jordan; even Khadafi expelled Arafat. Israel has succeeded where Palestine has failed - hatred rather than moving on has put its people in poverty..
@ramimor - your pretty long on insults, but short on reading ability and logic. I didn't compare Jews to Nazis, but compared your words to what Nazis said. So if the shoe fits, wear it. Incidentally, some Jews really were Nazis and helped Hitler perpetrate the Holocaust, but then there are such characters in every people.
@ramimor - The big open question here is can Israel really assure Jewish survival, and what is the price? Perhaps you are not aware of it but there are many organizations, Jewish and non-Jewish within and outside of Israel who believe Israels leadership and policies are doing just the opposite of what you wish, creating more enemies, turning off potential supporters. That's why were are working hard at creating non-violent alternatives to the unattainable military solution.
@beemer505 - So are we about to let Arab monarchies or police states dictate our policies. Shame on them and all others who do not recognize that a great wrong that destabilizes the regions politics is being done. But don't get too smug and comfortable, there are millions of people around the world muslim, and non-muslim who support the Palestinian struggle, and their ranks are growing - even in the US.
I will not reply to whatever you write again. Let us just say that Israel is a country, whatever you may think (or wish). And the sooner the Arab states recognize that fact, the sooner "peace" can come to that region. Take a look at the map of Europe for the past 100 years, and see how borders have changed- calling Israel out for it's existance is a form of anti- semitism. Convenient, huh????
@beemer505 - Just so your misinformation stands corrected. Egypt and Jordan recognize the state of Israel, as do the PLO, the Palestinian authority, and most of the rest of the world. The problem is not that Israel is a country. The problem are its agressive expansionist policies, its oppression of the Palestinians and the fact that it refuses to abide by the rules the international community respects. We object and work against those policies - not Isreal's existence.
So you are a "maniac"??? hmm- sounds right.... anyway, the stated goal of the "Palestinian" people is to drive Israel into the sea... they will stop at nothing less- even using their own children as "martyrs"- so stop writing back to me!!! Neither you nor I will change opinions- so LET IT GO!!!
@beemer505: If you don't want replies, don't put your misrepresentations on the web. Youre so behind the times! The majority faction of Palestinian recognizes the state of Israel. The others would lose influence, without Israels military aggression, expansion, settlements, and the humiliation and killing of peaceful civilians. Your concern for Palestinian children is touching; unfortunately the Israeli government, having killed hundreds of kids in Gaza, doesn't seem to share it.
Too bad the "Palestinians" don't produce anything except violence. If they did, they wouldn't have the need to blame all their problems on Israel and they could take responsibility for themselves. Trader Joes should have made them paid for everything they tagged. Notice they don't offer their own products to replace the Israeli products.
@landauland - sounds like you are putting down a whole people. if someone said that about the Israeli's, where it would fit much better; you would probably call it anti-semitic. I'll just say it's racist and ignorant.
Apartheid? Perhaps these folks should boycott American products. We've built a wall at our Mexican border and they haven't even been lobbing rockets across our borders or sending suicide bombers into crowded markets.
Concerning your wall comment, the US does not occupy Mexico. We do not just protest the wall, but the occupation and illegal settlement policy of Israel, and its military agressions. How do you justify imposing close to 500,000 settlers on Palestinian land in violation of international law.
same way I justify the US owning Texas? The Israelis won it fair and square in the 67 war that was started by all their Arab neighbors.
I do not seek to justify Israel's settlement policy. I am simply pointing out that Israel has tried time and again to make peace (and did so successfully with Egypt in 73 -- a peace that still holds). The response has been violent attacks by suicide bombers and rocket launchings.
The US and virtually the entire international community does not agree that Israel won the West Bank "square and fair". The occupation has been condemned as illegal numerous times and the population has a right to resist it.
None of what I wrote below excuses Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians, but these are desperate acts of a dispossessed and oppressed people, not those of a state. Instead of demilitarizing the conflict Israel tries to expand and impose military solutions. Boycotting Israeli goods and services, just as we boycotted Apartheid South Africa, is a peaceful and legal way to put pressure on a country that has thumbed it's nose at the international community and human rights for decades.
I suppose the 911 attack on the World Trade Center could be classified as a "desperate act", but the US still felt we were entitled to attack the perpetrators in order to defend our citizens.
Israel tried to leave Gaza unilaterally, and the response of their foolish leaders was to lob rockets at Israeli civilians. Until the "oppressed" Palestinians come to their senses and stop supporting Hamas thugs to lead their govt., Israel will continue to defend themselves.
Your 9/11 analogy does not fit the Israel-Hamas confrontation. There was a ceasefire during which no rockets were fired, but Israel, contrary to the negotiated provisions, refused to lift its blockade of Gaza, and then broke it by launching an incursion. Hamas replied with rocket fire. So Israel provokes a confrontation and then reduces Gaza to rubble, killing more than 1,400 Palestinians more than half of which were civilians, mostly women and children. Some act of self-defense that!
Get your facts straight. Here's the chronology from Wikipedia:
On 19 December 2008 a fragile six-month Israel-Hamas ceasefire was set to expire. On 18 December...Hamas declared the truce over and subsequently refused to renew it.[21][22] Palestinian rocket attacks on Israeli cities and towns resumed and intensified... On 27 December Israel began a wave of airstrikes[26] on the Gaza Strip with the stated aim of stopping the rocket attacks from and arms smuggling into the territory.[27][28]
n November 4, 2008, as the Guardian reported: "The Israeli military said the target of the raid was a tunnel that they said Hamas was planning to use to capture Israeli soldiers positioned on the border fence 250m away.... One Hamas gunman was killed and Palestinians launched a volley of mortars at the Israeli military. An Israeli air strike then killed five more Hamas fighters." A violation of the cease fire.
Without facts, all you can do is insult. Read a little history, and the reports of the UN and international and Israeli human rights organizations. The "Arabs" haven't fought an offensive war against Israel in the last 50 years. Israel has repeatedly invaded Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza - killing far more civilians than Palestinian rockets and suicide attacks. Add 500,000 illegal settlers, in violation of international law, during the 40 year occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
Israel is in the right. How would you deal with suicide bombers. The people in this video are ignorant in the true sense of the word. Trader Joe's should have thrown them out and gone after them for tampering with food products targeted for consumer use. I think we should boycott Trader Joe's for not coming out in support of Israel and throwing these idiots out of their stores!
Israel inflicts military terror on Palestinians like last years Gaza invasion which killed more than 1400 people, mostly civilians. Israel has created 4 million Palestinian refugees and routinely violates internationally recognized human rights and the laws of war. It was founded on ethnic cleansing.
what an illiterate with made up lies. i guess you can' boycott palestinian goods because there aren't any.i guess that is because they can only make homemade rockets to kill innoceny civilians. where was your protest when the arabs repeatedly attacked israel. you all ought to leave america and help the deranged palestinians start an economy and not war. no
Wrong again. I suggest two Israeli historians, Benny Morris, and Ilan Pappe, who showed that the Palestinians did not just leave but were largely forced to leave, or as Pappe puts it, they were ethnically cleansed!
What they do not tell you is that the Palestinians are the real racists. They will not recognize the State of Israel and want to destroy its people. Yet if they wanted peace they would sit down as humans beings and negotiate a peaceful settlement not shoot rockets at innocent civilians.
its really bull crap of you to say anything good about either side they are both insane , one is no better then the other ,but the israelis have the backing of the usa and they are commiting crimes against people we expect more from the more educated yet they are uncivil
How can you be so naive? Do you see Israelis sending their children as suicide bombers to kill innocent civilians? If you do recall Israel offered 99% of the west bank and E. Jerusalem to Yasser Arafat and he rejected this. How would you like it if Mexicans kept crossing our border and blew themselves up to kill innocent americans to reclaim land that is not theirs? Would America stand by idly?Hamas and Hezbollah are just a bunch of thugs supported by radical regimes such as Iran and Syria.
there both lost and insane at this point there is no good nd no evil ,they just are and until they decide to grow up and make that change there is no peace ,the ones who dont like what they have must simply move !! its a big world ,they are really insane both .
and to tell you the truth docshus ,i care more about the innocent dolphins that the danish are slaughtering for fun every season , something about making a boy a man , the dolphins are very few now in the list to be extinct ,and the boys put giant hooks in them 2 and 3 times while they die slowly a person said they have a cry that sounds like a baby , the water is so red it could make you throw up. now that is worth fighting for to stop , beautiful creatures that need some help .
i love trader joes ,and id not know about this ,but when i got home and found out that the feta cheese was from israel i was disapointed . and will never buy it again ,it is not rite to me what they are doing . they are commiting crimes and not helping to stop the violence they continue even though they have the money behind them living on are american welfare !! i agree with this rite on
to be most effective they need to picket the store out front and hand out leaflets ,that is most effective . the israelis are violating innocent peoles human rights !! the bastards!!
Who was the first nation to get a hospital outfit together in 7 hours and have it operating in Hiati, while everyone else including the Americans, is still messing around. The Isrealis should rule the world
i am so sick of these arab morons and their primitive outlook on the situation in israel... do you not have enough of the middle east already? trader joe's should be embarassed by the stupidity of the people who run their stores and their inability to kick out these terrorists. they owe israel an apology. and the woman in the video sounds and looks like a RETARD. she should be shot.
yes and china too ,the violations are endless ,but americans are whores to the end , and will do anything for money . very sad as always , no more israeli products will i buy at trader joes , keep up the good work !!
I concur with 80bronxboy! Imagine if a group did that to all Arab products. they would probably declare a jiihad against the group. They put an image of a hand grenade on products. Wrong group people. Israelis don't blow themsleves up (and innocent children) in the name of their religion!
We don't know the motives of these people or this video. I think it's possible that these people "pretended" to have this protest just to illicit a stronger, opposing buy-Israel campaign. The whole set could be fake. These are all white Americans. We don't know if they are Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Agnostic, or whatever. All I'm saying is that we should consider these possibilities and not jump to conclusions that they are "arab-loving idiots". The world is more complex.
I am shocked that this utube video is available. I fully support Israel and am outraged that this group of Arabs was allowed to video tape in your store. Please add more Israeli products, especially in Charlotte, NC as we are a Kosher loving, natural food conscience, and very large Jewish Community who shops at Trader Joes. In my opinion, you owe Israel an apology.
I love Trader Joes and cannot believe the management of this store allowed these idiots to stay.
I will go out of my way tomorrow to buy as many Israeli products as possible.
I am a Nutritionist in NY and tell all my patients to shop there and will go out of my way to head them in the direction of supporting Israeli products
These pepole are a bunch of idiots. they dont even know the facts. Did they ever go in Israel to see what is going on there for real? I bet they did not. they are just fed information by ignorences. I would suggest they go and stay in Israel for a few months and see what Israel is going through with them. Israel is a victim of beeing a democratic and giving the freedom of speech to everyone.
Why dont they condem Iran for shooting and killing protestors? why not against Darphur?
I've had the discussion on Israel with non-Jewish friends. Although we Jews recognize this attitude as holding Jews to a higher standard than others, I doubt that the people in the video would accept the term antiSemite as applied to themselves.
We come to the crux of the issue. This is not about Jews, but the policy of a state that is not being held to higher standards, but only expected to do no worse than the rest. Opposing the policies of Israel is not anti-semitic, a lot of Jews living in Israel and elsewhere recognize and act on this, by joining the boycott, divest and sanctions movement.
Why didn't Trader Joe's Manager throw these people out of the store or call the police. Are they so afraid of offending these people. Trader Joe's Management should grow a set of balls and a backbone and stand up to these nuts.
I wonder if these people ever IM one another or use a cell phone? IM's were invented by 3 Israeli students and the cell phone was also invented in Israel. I suppose they must have to sit on their cell phones to talk......since that's where their IQ resides. Hope their batteries discharge.
This is disgraceful behaviour and shows the ignorance and deceitful nature of these imbeciles. They should have been arrested at TJ's and forced to buy all the Israeli products as a condition of their release!
People wake up,this only the beginning. England just heightened their security alert for terrorism..acts of violence against Jews are going on every day in France. These people are just testing the waters in the US, The real perpetrators will get foolish liberals to believe this crap and front for them. They should have been arrested for their act and Trader Joes need to be supported by their customers to never buckle under any intimidation by any group..most of all this type of trash.
You are a fearmongering reactionary. Your tactics will not work, Kike. Somebody needs to finish you off. You agitators are the reason the US faces terror attacks.
What a pathetic way to make a point! What a violation against Trader Joe's business to walk in and damage their goods. I hope those idiots paid for them!
All we had to do was launch a "Buy Israel" campaign in the Jewish community, and with our friends, and these Israeli companies made more money than they ever thought they would! Trader Joe's around the country were inundated with thousands of shoppers buying these Israeli products.
You people are such cowards. Start protesting what suicide bombers are doing and then may we can have a dialogue. Go to their neighborhoods or are you too afraid and put your stupid stickers on their products. see how long you last there.
I see. So If i go to Palestine, it will make perfect sense to me for someone to walk into a crowd of people and blow yourself up and take as many people with you as you can and be rewarded with 72 Virgins in the afterlife ?
How very neaderthal..people who've never been to 'Palestine' don't get a say either way. They are very hypocritical of the entire situation. Ignorance is a sad thing innit?
Why don't they stand outside and take donations for suicide bomber relief ? Those store employees are such wimps. if they tried that in LA , they would be tossed out on their ass or arrested.
If you see these people at your local Trader Joe's, please feel free to find the heaviest glass projectile you can and heave it directly at their heads.
The Israelis are fighting to save themselves & save land that was theirs. Israelis wouldn't come to America & make propaganda videos to get people to join the fight against Palestine. They stick to themselves&fight when they have to fight. If these people feel so passionate about Palestine, go home & fight your fight. We don't need you stirring the pot in a country where Palestinians&Jews have proven they can live together peacefully. It's unfortunate these idiots make Palestinians look bad.
what a shame that Trader Joes has not got the gumption to stop this defacement of products that are purchased for resale-and that they did not in fact call the police to eject these idiots-this is not a legally constituted organization that has the right to invade a store and take controll-
These people are very courageous with a conscience. How can you support Apartheid? The situation in Israel is worst than Apartheid, Jews always support equal rights for all but not in Israel unfortunately. Palestinians do not hate jews because they are jews. Had they been Chinese, they would have felt the same way. Why? They are treated sub-human in their own land, they are living under a brutal occupation. No justice or mercy, just dehumanizing them on a daily basis then we wonder why?
Israeli's how long have u been living in the Sates? When are u going to learn to become civilized & learn to be human & treat others with the same dignity & respect that you want others to extend to U & your loved ones?
Stop your childish ways of defending Israel/Jews when they act irresponsibly just because you're a Jew. Learn to think of your self as a citizen of the world, doing good globally instead of thinking about your own & profit. Madoff's & likes of him were jews, r u proud of jews?
Does this video reflect "treating others with the same dignity & respect that you want others to extend to U"? Does suggesting that the Dorot product, which is a unique Israeli invention, was made by terrorists who use grandes, stand to your standards? Or perhaps you are suggesting that bashing Israel is OK, but defending is not?
Good to know Trader Joe's sells so many Israeli products. I'll make sure and check next time where the product comes from. And if there's an Israeli version, then that's what I'll be buying. God bless Israel! I'm forwarding this to everyone.
I am sure you did not support Apartheid in South Africa. The Israeli Apartheid is much worst. Educate yourself and do not be in denial. The Palestinians do not hate jews because they are jews, they hate them for the way they have been treated. If Chinese had stolen their land they would hate them the same.
I do not recall asking for your opinion. By the way, you're the ignorant one. The Palestinians are a bunch of terrorists that do hate Jews because they're Jews. AND if it wasn't for the Israelis, the Palestinians wouldn't even have jobs. The whole middle east hates them, even most Muslims. So educate yourself.
Yes, educating yourself on the history of the area would really be helpful to you. When over a million people were displaced, 462 villages wiped out, to make room for jews and disregarding the Palestinian people as if they were animals. Think about it, if possible. The most educated people in the Middle East have been the Palestinians and they are very liked everywhere. Fanatics are hated just like fanatics who are Jews or Christians are hated by reasonable consciensious people.
Of course you forgot *your* history. Prior to that the Palestinian people rejected the UN resolutin for a peacful solution, chose to go to war and lost. I am not saying there has been no injustice toward the Palestinians. I am just saying that they also hold some of the blame for this miserable situation.
Amazing ignorance! Protesting a situation and relationships that if they understood, would be embarrassed by their participation in their action. The Palestinian situation is unconsionable. The need for Israel to protect itself is indisputable. How is the world helping? Europe? The Arab world? The UN? You should be boycotting the governments who have created this situation, not the Israelies for defending themselves. Don't be ignorant children.
This is absolute garbage. These radical left-wing lunatics are not only intellectually dishonest but hateful, antisemites. Their equating of Israel with "apartheid" is simply absurd. Are they unaware of the fact that Arab Israelis carry full citizenship, the right to practice their own religion, and prosper economically should they choose to do so? Can they name even a single Arab country in the region that would allow Jews living there the same rights? These morons should be admonished.
have you been to Israel? . They make Palestinians wait 5 hours in stuff that only take 10 minutes. They don't let them go in and out of the west bank, they won't let them travel or live life like we have here in America or you have wherever you are. That IS APARTHEID.
Have you been to the US border? They make Mexicans wait hours to have their papers checked. Of course, those people don't have bombs strapped to their underwear...
It's an outrage how the US treats immigrants and border crossers, but that doesn't excuse the humiliation Israel imposes on Palestinians not only when they cross the border, but within the occupied territories. How do you excuse the settlers, the special roads for them or the wall that is built not along the border, but partly on Palestinian lands, sometimes making it impossible to get to their fields?
so glad to have been made aware of the Israeli products you've pointed out. I have begun to INTENTIONALLY look for them to buy, and support Israel financially. I would not have known without your help :). What a bunch of left wing nut jobs.
More proof, liberalism is a mental disease...beginning of another holocaust, by morons who have no clue what is going on in the world! They should be charged for vandalism at the very least and made to reimburse Trader Joes for defacing products!
Read a history book! Palestina is the name given to the land of Israel by Roman occupiers long before Islam was a thought in Mohammed's mind. Peace between Jews and their Arab neighbors need to improve; suicide bombings/rocket attacks must stop; arabs must assimilate into Israeli society like Jews have in their muslim states. The only bastion of sanity and democracy in a middle east corrupted by medieval backwardness and intolerance. This group displays reprehensible intellectual dishonesty.
I've yet to see these 'socially conscious' morons advocate a boycott against China, Cuba, ANY of the arab-muslim countries [where is their sense of outrage against the homphobic / anti-woman attitudes of the muslim countries?] THis is just anti-semitism mixed with blinding ignorance.
These are the most ignorant people I have ever seen! They have no idea as to what is actually happening in Israel. This is the result of our poor education system.
I blame this stupid action on people like Jimmy Carter. He has lied to the world about Israel.
Why not boycott products made in China by underpaid/overworked employees? There's more of a direct connection of abuse of power rather than connecting an action with a politics of a country. Those companies in Israel are probably simple hard working good folks. Why should they have less product on shelves. They don't run the Israeli government. I understand the message, but I find the action slightly misguided.
Israel makes excellent products. I hope these morons enjoy their gigantic purchase. I also hope they travel outside of the US at some point, because they appear to speak at length about places that they don't know anything about. These people have way to simple a view of a complex issue. Stick to watching day time TV and leave politics to people who are capable of complex thought and have travelled to the areas they are speaking about.
I wonder if these are considered rodfim who are committing trespass, theft, and filming without consent - where the punishment is chopped legs, severed hands, and gouged eye balls.
These people are unbelievable. I only wish that each and every one of them were forced to live in an Arab country. They are fools. I am embarrassed by them.

People who make stickers with big words like 'apartheid' should look up the definition - so as not to embarrass themselves.

I am sure that non of them have ever lived in the middle east. Go live in a place like saudi and try doing this kind of thing and see what happens to you. You all should be ashamed. Muslims kills more people then anyone and all you have to do is concentrate on Israel?

@53anli well to start it is a religious war that has been operating since the crusades. I think the real issue is, if Palestine sends a rocket and it hits nothing but an inanimate object Israel still kills around 10-100 Palestinians per rocket, "Self defense" lol they are not at real risk remember they have nuclear armed war heads, a little rocket isnt a threat, an orbiting war head is a real challenge for them not conventional weapons. They have 1/3 the USA Funds, They even own F16's and Apache

Perhaps you are not aware of it but there are many organizations, Jewish and non-Jewish within and outside of Israel who believe Israels leadership and policies are doing just the opposite of what you wish, creating more enemies, turning off potential supporters. That's why were are working hard at creating non-violent alternatives to the unattainable military solution.

@beemer505 - Just so your misinformation stands corrected. Egypt and Jordan recognize the state of Israel, as do the PLO, the Palestinian authority, and most of the rest of the world. The problem is not that Israel is a country. The problem are its agressive expansionist policies, its oppression of the Palestinians and the fact that it refuses to abide by the rules the international community respects. We object and work against those policies - not Isreal's existence.

@beemer505: If you don't want replies, don't put your misrepresentations on the web. Youre so behind the times! The majority faction of Palestinian recognizes the state of Israel. The others would lose influence, without Israels military aggression, expansion, settlements, and the humiliation and killing of peaceful civilians. Your concern for Palestinian children is touching; unfortunately the Israeli government, having killed hundreds of kids in Gaza, doesn't seem to share it.

Too bad the "Palestinians" don't produce anything except violence. If they did, they wouldn't have the need to blame all their problems on Israel and they could take responsibility for themselves.

Concerning your wall comment, the US does not occupy Mexico. We do not just protest the wall, but the occupation and illegal settlement policy of Israel, and its military agressions. How do you justify imposing close to 500,000 settlers on Palestinian land in violation of international law.
velomaniac3340 1 year ago
same way I justify the US owning Texas? The Israelis won it fair and square in the 67 war that was started by all their Arab neighbors.
I do not seek to justify Israel's settlement policy. I am simply pointing out that Israel has tried time and again to make peace (and did so successfully with Egypt in 73 -- a peace that still holds). The response has been violent attacks by suicide bombers and rocket launchings.

None of what I wrote below excuses Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians, but these are desperate acts of a dispossessed and oppressed people, not those of a state. Instead of demilitarizing the conflict Israel tries to expand and impose military solutions. Boycotting Israeli goods and services, just as we boycotted Apartheid South Africa, is a peaceful and legal way to put pressure on a country that has thumbed it's nose at the international community and human rights for decades.
velomaniac3340 1 year ago
I suppose the 911 attack on the World Trade Center could be classified as a "desperate act", but the US still felt we were entitled to attack the perpetrators in order to defend our citizens.
Israel tried to leave Gaza unilaterally, and the response of their foolish leaders was to lob rockets at Israeli civilians. Until the "oppressed" Palestinians come to their senses and stop supporting Hamas thugs to lead their govt., Israel will continue to defend themselves.
ireneherz 1 year ago 2
Your 9/11 analogy does not fit the Israel-Hamas confrontation. There was a ceasefire during which no rockets were fired, but Israel, contrary to the negotiated provisions, refused to lift its blockade of Gaza, and then broke it by launching an incursion. Hamas replied with rocket fire. So Israel provokes a confrontation and then reduces Gaza to rubble, killing more than 1,400 Palestinians more than half of which were civilians, mostly women and children. Some act of self-defense that!
velomaniac3340 1 year ago
Get your facts straight. Here's the chronology from Wikipedia:
On 19 December 2008 a fragile six-month Israel-Hamas ceasefire was set to expire. On 18 December...Hamas declared the truce over and subsequently refused to renew it.[21][22] Palestinian rocket attacks on Israeli cities and towns resumed and intensified... On 27 December Israel began a wave of airstrikes[26] on the Gaza Strip with the stated aim of stopping the rocket attacks from and arms smuggling into the territory.[27][28]
ireneherz 1 year ago
n November 4, 2008, as the Guardian reported: "The Israeli military said the target of the raid was a tunnel that they said Hamas was planning to use to capture Israeli soldiers positioned on the border fence 250m away.... One Hamas gunman was killed and Palestinians launched a volley of mortars at the Israeli military. An Israeli air strike then killed five more Hamas fighters." A violation of the cease fire.
velomaniac3340 1 year ago
Without facts, all you can do is insult. Read a little history, and the reports of the UN and international and Israeli human rights organizations. The "Arabs" haven't fought an offensive war against Israel in the last 50 years. Israel has repeatedly invaded Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza - killing far more civilians than Palestinian rockets and suicide attacks. Add 500,000 illegal settlers, in violation of international law, during the 40 year occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.

These people are just testing the waters in the US, The real perpetrators will get foolish liberals to believe this crap and front for them. They should have been arrested for their act and Trader Joes need to be supported by their customers to never buckle under any intimidation by any group..most of all this type of trash.

You are a fearmongering reactionary. Your tactics will not work, Kike. Somebody needs to finish you off. You agitators are the reason the US faces terror attacks.

All we had to do was launch a "Buy Israel" campaign in the Jewish community, and with our friends, and these Israeli companies made more money than they ever thought they would! Trader Joe's around the country were inundated with thousands of shoppers buying these Israeli products.

I see. So If i go to Palestine, it will make perfect sense to me for someone to walk into a crowd of people and blow yourself up and take as many people with you as you can and be rewarded with 72 Virgins in the afterlife ?

The Israelis are fighting to save themselves & save land that was theirs. Israelis wouldn't come to America & make propaganda videos to get people to join the fight against Palestine. They stick to themselves&fight when they have to fight. If these people feel so passionate about Palestine, go home & fight your fight. We don't need you stirring the pot in a country where Palestinians&Jews have proven they can live together peacefully. It's unfortunate these idiots make Palestinians look bad.

These people are very courageous with a conscience. How can you support Apartheid? The situation in Israel is worst than Apartheid, Jews always support equal rights for all but not in Israel unfortunately. Palestinians do not hate jews because they are jews. Had they been Chinese, they would have felt the same way. Why? They are treated sub-human in their own land, they are living under a brutal occupation. No justice or mercy, just dehumanizing them on a daily basis then we wonder why?

Israeli's how long have u been living in the Sates? When are u going to learn to become civilized & learn to be human & treat others with the same dignity & respect that you want others to extend to U & your loved ones?
Stop your childish ways of defending Israel/Jews when they act irresponsibly just because you're a Jew. Learn to think of your self as a citizen of the world, doing good globally instead of thinking about your own & profit. Madoff's & likes of him were jews, r u proud of jews?

Does this video reflect "treating others with the same dignity & respect that you want others to extend to U"? Does suggesting that the Dorot product, which is a unique Israeli invention, was made by terrorists who use grandes, stand to your standards? Or perhaps you are suggesting that bashing Israel is OK, but defending is not?

Good to know Trader Joe's sells so many Israeli products. I'll make sure and check next time where the product comes from. And if there's an Israeli version, then that's what I'll be buying. God bless Israel! I'm forwarding this to everyone.
lanareyf28 2 years ago
I am sure you did not support Apartheid in South Africa. The Israeli Apartheid is much worst. Educate yourself and do not be in denial. The Palestinians do not hate jews because they are jews, they hate them for the way they have been treated. If Chinese had stolen their land they would hate them the same.
oliviasolomon1 2 years ago
I do not recall asking for your opinion. By the way, you're the ignorant one. The Palestinians are a bunch of terrorists that do hate Jews because they're Jews. AND if it wasn't for the Israelis, the Palestinians wouldn't even have jobs. The whole middle east hates them, even most Muslims. So educate yourself.
lanareyf28 2 years ago
Yes, educating yourself on the history of the area would really be helpful to you. When over a million people were displaced, 462 villages wiped out, to make room for jews and disregarding the Palestinian people as if they were animals. Think about it, if possible. The most educated people in the Middle East have been the Palestinians and they are very liked everywhere. Fanatics are hated just like fanatics who are Jews or Christians are hated by reasonable consciensious people.
oliviasolomon1 2 years ago
@oliviasolomon1
Of course you forgot *your* history. Prior to that the Palestinian people rejected the UN resolutin for a peacful solution, chose to go to war and lost. I am not saying there has been no injustice toward the Palestinians. I am just saying that they also hold some of the blame for this miserable situation.
erubin1967 2 years ago 2
Amazing ignorance! Protesting a situation and relationships that if they understood, would be embarrassed by their participation in their action. The Palestinian situation is unconsionable. The need for Israel to protect itself is indisputable. How is the world helping? Europe? The Arab world? The UN? You should be boycotting the governments who have created this situation, not the Israelies for defending themselves. Don't be ignorant children.

globalchaos1984 2 years ago
This is absolute garbage. These radical left-wing lunatics are not only intellectually dishonest but hateful, antisemites. Their equating of Israel with "apartheid" is simply absurd. Are they unaware of the fact that Arab Israelis carry full citizenship, the right to practice their own religion, and prosper economically should they choose to do so? Can they name even a single Arab country in the region that would allow Jews living there the same rights? These morons should be admonished.
DocMDPainDude 2 years ago
have you been to Israel? . They make Palestinians wait 5 hours in stuff that only take 10 minutes. They don't let them go in and out of the west bank, they won't let them travel or live life like we have here in America or you have wherever you are. That IS APARTHEID.

It's an outrage how the US treats immigrants and border crossers, but that doesn't excuse the humiliation Israel imposes on Palestinians not only when they cross the border, but within the occupied territories. How do you excuse the settlers, the special roads for them or the wall that is built not along the border, but partly on Palestinian lands, sometimes making it impossible to get to their fields?

Read a history book! Palestina is the name given to the land of Israel by Roman occupiers long before Islam was a thought in Mohammed's mind. Peace between Jews and their Arab neighbors need to improve; suicide bombings/rocket attacks must stop; arabs must assimilate into Israeli society like Jews have in their muslim states. The only bastion of sanity and democracy in a middle east corrupted by medieval backwardness and intolerance. This group displays reprehensible intellectual dishonesty.

Why not boycott products made in China by underpaid/overworked employees? There's more of a direct connection of abuse of power rather than connecting an action with a politics of a country. Those companies in Israel are probably simple hard working good folks. Why should they have less product on shelves. They don't run the Israeli government. I understand the message, but I find the action slightly misguided.

Israel makes excellent products. I hope these morons enjoy their gigantic purchase. I also hope they travel outside of the US at some point, because they appear to speak at length about places that they don't know anything about. These people have way to simple a view of a complex issue. Stick to watching day time TV and leave politics to people who are capable of complex thought and have travelled to the areas they are speaking about.
