NJ greengrocer boycotts Israel, stops carrying 'Palestinian' dates
Shavua tov, a good week to everyone.Before we made aliya (emigrated to Israel), Mrs. Carl and I and our four eldest children lived in northern New Jersey and often shopped at a place called Corrado's in Clifton. Clifton (and neighboring Paterson) are crawling with Arabs, so it's not too surprising that they're honoring the Arab boycott (or at least boycotting the Jewish cities and towns of Judea and Samaria). Still, this was rather amusing (Hat Tip: Elder of Ziyon).
Corrado’s, a large family-owned supermarket, in Clifton, NJ, agreed to stop selling “Jordan Valley” dried dates–Product of Israel. This happened after repeated complaints to two of the younger owner/family members. It definitely helps to be a regular customer to have some say and the possible threat of widespread boycott. It is interesting to note that I had “help” from some of the employees who were from the Middle East who shared my opinions but was too “afraid” to challenge the management. In the end, the Corrados were quite gracious about removing the Israelil products. Sadly, they told me that the wholesaler of the “Made in Israel” products was a Palestinian Arab. Sigh.The Jordan Valley dates are in the second row from the top on the right side of the photograph taken from this British site devoted to boycotting Israeli dates. I guess that 'Palestinian Arab' is losing business in Britain too.
Any of my friends in NJ want to go after Corrado's for honoring the boycott? It's illegal in the US.

Against the first in the row, AGREXCO, in Languedoc-Roussillon/France, where I am living, campaigns by the lefties are waged since several months, as the region's president wants to bring AGREXCO to the port of Sète, and more than 200 new jobs along with it. These lefties and their campaigns are guided by Arabs and by Arab immigrants.
I have written articles about it (in German).

Its illegal to enforce the Arab boycott under US law. BDS is simply the extension of this decades old economic warfare against the Jewish State from the Arab World to the wider global level. Now you have the Left in the lead with it against Israel not just the Arabs and Iran. Its time to go after Corrado's for breaking the law.
as one of Paterson's last remaining Jews, I am now boycotting Corrado's!
