I am curious what hate group you are citing in this email and what

Palestinian " entity " you are referring to also, are you referring to the

Palestinian Authority?

Anyone who wants to discuss this please talk to Mr. Pete privately.

 

This is off topic. Just because it's Rainbow grocery does not make it on

topic. Rainbow is just another grocery store like Safeways, Albertsons

or Wholefoods.

 

Please be considerate of our charter and our diverse membership on the

list.

 

Take care
