The Olympia Food Co-op in Washington state has voted to boycott Israeli goods. The co-op is believed to be the first US grocery store to agree to such a boycott. One item exempted from the boycott is “Peace Oil,” a fair trade olive oil made by Palestinians and exported by Israelis. Olympia is the home town of Rachel Corrie, the twenty-three-year-old college student who was crushed to death by an Israeli army bulldozer in Gaza seven years ago.
