Many of New York City’s leading politicians said Monday that they opposed a boycott of Israeli products by the Park Slope Food Co-op in Brooklyn, speaking out on the day before the market is expected to hold an initial vote on the proposal.
Christine C. Quinn, the City Council speaker, called the idea “ill conceived.” Bill de Blasio, the public advocate, said it was “madness.” Scott M. Stringer, the Manhattan borough president, described the proposal as “an anti-Semitic crusade.”
