A national Jewish civil rights group is demanding that the Park Slope Food Coop Board protect Jewish members from “intimidation, retaliation, social targeting, and coercive pressure” ahead of a vote on a proposed boycott of Israeli products. The appeal, in a Wednesday letter from the Brandeis Center, comes after weeks of escalating conflict inside the socialist-leaning Brooklyn market, including a general meeting at which an attendee declared that “Jewish supremacism is a problem in this country,” drawing applause from dozens of other members. “Jewish people should not have to choose between local and organic food and their safety and their voice,” said Brandeis Center Chairman and CEO Kenneth Marcus.
