Park Slope Food Coop passes controversial Israel boycott in divisive, chaotic meet attended by over 7K members

Park Slope Food Coop members approved a boycott of Israeli goods Tuesday night — following a years-long food fight that has turned vicious. Over 7000 of the co-op’s 15,000 members attended the meeting — which had to be shifted to Zoom only after Jewish attendees cited “explicit fears” for their safety if they attended in person. The huge turnout, which many said was the largest in the co-op’s 53 year history, comes after months of heated debate at the Brooklyn institution that has spilled out on the lefty enclave’s streets.
