PORT TOWNSEND — The Port Townsend Food Co-op board tonight rejected a proposal to boycott products made in Israel.
The six-member board voted 4-2 against the proposal, saying that it did not fit their bylaws.
The proposal sought the removal of several Israeli-made products from the co-op’s shelves “until Israel stops violating international law and the rights of the Palestinian people.”
The boycott was proposed in July.
It would have been the second food co-op in the nation to undertake a boycott of Israeli-made products.
The Olympia Co-op voted to boycott Israeli goods in July.
