Everyone, please remember that it&#39;s not merely an issue of buying Israeli products once.<br /><br />Even if you don&#39;t regularly buy Israeli products, whenever you go to a large grocery store, ask them for some specific Israeli food - Halva, Bam Bams, etc. By asking for them, they WILL take notice and will make purchase inquiries, possibly leading to an order.<br /><br />If Israeli products are on the shelf, even if no one is familiar with them, chances are someone will buy them, creating a new source of revenue for Israeli companies and more awareness of Israeli products.<br /><br />Mention things like, &quot;Yeah, the supermarket I usually go to has Israel Couscous and they can barely keep it in stock. You guys (meaning the supermarket) should get some.&quot;<br /><br />I also do this to encourage more kosher products. Don&#39;t be shy! Be a pest!Victorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05008730229882004376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416507942212771837.post-24197477282191648072009-06-23T13:09:44.428-04:002009-06-23T13:09:44.428-04:00Something similar happened - in Toronto, as I recall - when the BDS crowd tried to stage a boycott of Israeli wines. The pro-Israeli crowd defeated the boycott, buying out the entire Israeli stock. Take that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416507942212771837.post-72913273261847059962009-06-22T15:50:33.028-04:002009-06-22T15:50:33.028-04:00We can safely declare victory in the Great Couscous war of 2009.<br /><br />Thanks to the BDS folks for the unbeatable publicity. Thanks to Trader Joes for not bowing to pressure. And thanks to everyone out there who supported Israel, democracy and choice, by shopping at Trdaer Joes this weekend.<br /><br />We did good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416507942212771837.post-57484407900169355772009-06-22T01:41:16.999-04:002009-06-22T01:41:16.999-04:00Big success in the SD TJ&#39;s, as for the couscous - cook it with some herb mix, roasted garlic cloves, and when it comes out - before you let it sit to absorb the rest of the water - add some pesto sauce. Reeeaallly yummy.nInJaSlEeKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16170841243831429094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416507942212771837.post-42663907982914097552009-06-21T20:11:44.762-04:002009-06-21T20:11:44.762-04:00Hmmm...Let&#39;s hurt Israel. So let&#39;s stimulate enormous purchases of Israeli products prior to our Aktion. And what does TJ&#39;s automated inventory control system do? It spits out huge reorders for Israeli products. Brilliant, Brit Tzedek! Keep it up! You&#39;ll be seeing even more Israeli products in the future.Martel08http://www.blogger.com/profile/03457767900707449585noreply@blogger.com
