The major alternatives on price, selection, service, shipping, etc., B&H and Adorama, are owned and operated by Jewish
groups.
I don't know details, and suspect they aren't easily discovered. I understand B&H, at least, is Hasidic. Some NY Hasidic
sects make Jeff B. look like a saint. The Satmar court seems particularly bad to me, from reading this book.

Again, I have no idea whatsoever what the sect that owns B&H is like; it may be quite benevolent. The Hasidim follow
their Rebbe's teachings and rules, and each sect is at least somewhat different from others.

Just pointing out that boycotting one retailer over internal policies may drive
one to another which is less than ideal.
