The bombastic debate within the Park Slope Food Coop — poised to vote tomorrow on a boycott of Israeli goods — has grown so loud that even Mayor Bloomberg is weighing in.
“These are businesses that should be run as businesses,” Bloomberg said at the St. Patrick’s Parade yesterday in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. “I certainly am adamantly opposed to boycotting Israeli products . . . Israel is a very important ally of America. We shouldn’t forget that.”
Members of the Brooklyn food-cooperative will vote on whether to hold a referendum on the Palestinian-solidarity boycott.
