Long live the Eggplant Cafe at Evergreen College

I am sure that I stopped at that cafe in my last visit to the college:  "In case you didn't notice, let me bring to your attention that last week the Flaming Eggplant café, a student-run cooperative at Evergreen State College in OlympiaWashington, voted to boycott Israeli products.  The act was of no real consequence, but it does say oodles about the international campaign to promote boycotts, divestments and sanctions against Israel.  The Flaming Eggplant took an extreme position on the boycott. It didn't limit its ban on Israeli products to just the settlements, as many boycotters do, but imposed it on anything and everything made in Israel."
