Now What?

Th Port Townsend Food Co-Op has voted to REJECT the proposal to boycott Israeli products. Now what? Let's coordinate as a community and give generously to organizations that can actually help Israelis and Palestinians on the ground. These organizations include:

New Israel Fund

AN ALTERNATIVE: Instead of boycotts, which divide people and ascribe blame to one side or the other, you can support peace between Israelis and Palestinians by supporting organizations such as the NEW ISRAEL FUND, which sponsors projects of collaboration and cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians.

Stand With Us Northwest

StandWithUs is an international education organization that ensures that Israel's side of the story is told in communities, campuses, libraries, the media and churches through brochures, speakers, conferences, missions to Israel, and thousands of pages of Internet resources

J Street is the political home for pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans.
The organization gives political voice to mainstream American Jews and other supporters of Israel who, informed by their progressive and Jewish values, believe that a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is essential to Israel’s survival as the national home of the Jewish people and as a vibrant democracy. J Street’s mission is two-fold: first, to advocate for urgent American diplomatic leadership to achieve a two-state solution and a broader regional, comprehensive peace and, second, to ensure a broad debate on Israel and the Middle East in national politics and the American Jewish community.
