Pro-Israel activists hold a rally outside Brooklyn’s Park Slope Food Coop, which voted to boycott Israeli products late last month.
The activists pass out free Israeli foods that are now off-limits at the co-op, such as peanut-flavored Bamba snacks.
The rally, led by the EndJewHatred activist group, argues that the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement is racist.
A truck drives around the area of the co-op bearing a sign with a message saying that BDS “is the anti-Jewish movement that has overtaken the Park Slope Food Co-op.”
Demonstrators hold signs that say, “BDS is racism,” and, “If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.”
The Jewish protesters are joined by interfaith allies from Muslim and Hindu groups.
The protesters are separate from a group of co-op members who organized against the boycott.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
