OLYMPIA, Wash. —
The Olympia Food Co-op says it has received hundreds of phone calls and e-mails from all over the world since the board decided last week to boycott products from Israel.
The boycott aims to compel Israel to respect Palestinian rights.
Co-op spokesman Harry Levine told The Olympian that Israeli-made gluten-free crackers, ice cream cones and a moisturizing cream have been removed from its two stores in Olympia. The co-op has more than 15,000 members.
Levine says most of the comments about the boycott have been positive.
The co-op has also boycotted products from Norway and China to demonstrate objections to whaling and human rights violations.
