Shoppers bypass picketers, filling Hiller's Market in
support of Israel.
SHELLI LIEBMAN DORFMAN
Staff Writer
Ann Arbor
nstead of keeping shoppers out
of Hiller's Market in Ann Arbor
as they'd hoped, pro-Palestinian
protesters prompted a crowd of
more than 300 who came to shop
July 18 as a show of support for
Israel — and the store's owner Jim
Hiller.
Each Sunday afternoon, for the
last three months, the Jewish
Witnesses for Peace and Friends
have been picketing on the street in
front of the store, calling for a boy-
cott of the supermarket. They
protest Hiller's sale of Israeli prod-
ucts and the donation of profits to
Israeli institutions and programs.
"I was really heartened but not
surprised to see the incredible show
of support for Israel and for Jim,"
said Jeff Levin, executive director of
the Jewish Federation of Washtenaw
County in Ann Arbor. Levin had
sent out 2,000 e-mails applauding
Hiller's efforts and asking the com-
munity for a show of support for
the store and its owner.
While 15 or 20 protesters carried
I
signs on the sidewalk in front of the
store's parking lot last Sunday,
inside Hiller's, shoppers filled carts
with products, including Israel-
made items, filing into balloon-
lined checkout lanes.
Among the shoppers — including
carloads who traveled to Ann Arbor
from Detroit-area suburbs — were
those who parked blocks away to
avoid standstill traffic leading to the
store.
A Federation-sponsored project
included a booth inside the store
where 140 blue and white T-shirts
were sold with the words,
"Wherever We Stand, We Stand
With Israel" printed on them.
And that seems to be the point,
according to Levin.
"We understand that supporting
Israel doesn't have to mean you.
endorse every single policy of the
government," he said. "When it
comes to Israel, we take pride in the
incredible accomplishments and
incredible dynamics of the survival
of the Jewish state. And that's why
so many people turned out." ❑
