"Rep. Ritchie Torres demanded investigations into the Park Slope Food Co-op for allegedly fostering anti-Israel sentiments, creating a dangerous environment for Jewish members."
"Zara Watkins described being cursed and threatened for wearing a costume that honored an Israeli product, highlighting the hostile atmosphere faced by pro-Israel supporters."
Rep. Ritchie Torres has called for an investigation into the Park Slope Food Co-op after allegations surfaced of anti-Israel discrimination. He claims that a pattern of harassment against Jews and pro-Israel members has emerged since the Hamas attacks on Israel. As tensions escalated, co-op governance appeared to tilt towards those supporting the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. This led to incidents like Zara Watkins' experience, where she faced hostility for her pro-Israel costume, raising concerns about the co-op's atmosphere for Jewish members.
