I never shopped at Hillers until I saw protesters out there because some of Hillers' food comes from Israel. And yeah, I ran out and bought some of the offending couscous at the co-op, too. :) Likewise, I wonder about the folks who protest the Shabbat services at Beth Israel.

I know they are earnest, but I have to wonder if they're really accomplishing their objective.

I had the same thing happen with the forced birth crowd. In college (Adrian College), a group came out one summer and stayed in the dorms. They chalked the campus one night and said much the same things--abortion = Holocaust and such. I'm sorry, but the word Holocaust means one thing and one thing only to me and to bat it around like that not only sickens and disgusts me, it offends me. The next night, a group of us chalked over their shit and I joined NARAL for the first time. And comparing anyone to Hitler? I'm sorry, but that is so wrong that I don't even know where to start.
