Middle East Coexistence at the Supermarket
(Pajamas Media) Lenny and Shellie Ben-David - The parking lot of the new supermarket at the Gush Etzion junction in the West Bank is packed with Palestinian and Israeli vehicles. Palestinian families and Israeli "settlers" mingle in the aisles. At the checkout, one cashier was a Jewish woman from Kiryat Arba; at the cash register next to her was a Muslim woman from Halhul. A boycott of settlement products is supposed to be in force in the Palestinian Authority, but that's certainly not enforced at the supermarket.
