There is no Jewish holiday and no Jewish experience that more divides the “haves” from the “have-nots” than Pesach.
The contrast between those experiencing Pesach with endless menu options, midnight BBQ’s, quinoa sushi stations, and round-the-clock tea rooms and those who literally don’t know how they will buy matzah or wine, let alone meat, is startling and staggering.

It's time for all Jews to stop buying red meat, especially poor Jews who can't afford it. You'll be richer and healthier without it. This is a start. But I hear your point.
************************************************** Hypocrisy of the Anti-Israel BDS Movement by Mr. Cohen, 2015 June 8 **************************************************
In year 2012 CE, the U.S. State Department’s Trafficking in Persons Report revealed 17 countries that still practice or tolerate slavery: Algeria, Libya, Syria, Sudan, Kuwait, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Papua New Guinea, Yemen, Madagascar, Eritrea, Zimbabwe, DR Congo, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, and Cuba.
Notice that NONE of these 17 countries suffers the wrath of the BDS movement, no matter how guilty they are of practicing slavery.
Also notice that most of these countries are MUSLIM, which means that the Far-Left-dominated news media will NEVER give them the criticism they deserve, because the Far-Leftists are the loyal allies of the Muslims.
Last but not least, the Far-Left-dominated BDS movement will NEVER target these counties with boycotts, because the Far-Leftists are the loyal allies of the Muslims.
According to the year 2014 CE Freedom in the World Report, the ten most oppressive countries in the world are: Central African Republic, Somalia, Equatorial Guinea, Sudan, Eritrea, Syria, North Korea, Turkmenistan, Saudi Arabia, and Uzbekistan.
Notice that NONE of these ten countries is suffers the wrath of the BDS movement, no matter how much they oppress their own citizens.
Since year 1950 CE, China has occupied the land of Tibet and murdered around one million Tibetans. Does China suffer the wrath of the BDS movement? NO!
Russia invaded Georgia in year 2008 CE. Russia invaded Ukraine in year 2014 CE. Is Russia boycotted by the BDS movement? NO! And it never will be.
