Olympia Food Co-Op to Boycott Israeli Goods
-------------------------------------------



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.
