Hang on,
Is Cafe Crema still boycotting Israelis?
I am one of the co-organisers of Lewisham 77, but am writing this in a purely personal capacity, as the person who accidentally sparked off the whole Crema boycott issue by leaving a copy of the Jewish Chronicle on my table when I was there for a coffee.
To be fair to Chris of Crema, they never boycotted Israelis, they claim not to sell any Israeli products. How this tallies with the Israeli film they once showed at Crema (the Lemon Tree, I think, as once featured on Modernity's Blog), I'm not sure.
I have been to Crema once or twice since they made a point of this boycott, significantly less than I had done before, when I had been a regular. As well as being opposed to the boycott in general, I found the way Crema instituted their boycott to be insensitive and hurtful. The last time I was there was perhaps December, and the boycott notice was still up.
