Why is that so hard to believe? The owner actively supports the IDF, who has killed 18,000 palestinians in a matter of weeks. Some people call that genocide.

Where is the 18K number coming from? I haven’t seen that reported.

But your point stands. The owner is not being targeted because he is Jewish but protested against because of his specific actions in support of Israel’s questionable policies.

Health ministry updated the numbers today to 17,487 killed, at least 7,780 missing, more than 46,000 people injured.

Blatant antisemitism in Philly.

And, why??? Why “protest” like this in the US? What are they hoping to accomplish?

In case anyone is interested, there is an in depth article in the Guardian about the restaurant and the protest.

Several staff were fired over violating the dress code by wearing Palestinian flag pins/colors. Several staff members also disapproved of the fundraisers the restaurant held for a charity that supports the IDF as well as paying for dinners of people that were flying to Israel to serve in the IDF.

The server who was inside the restaurant at the time of the protest thought it was peaceful and not antisemitic.

They article doesn't change the fundamental conclusion: a Jewish restaurant owner was targeted because he's Jewish, serves falafel, and organized a fundraiser for an Israeli medical charity.

The protesters and servers come across as complete a**hats.

What are you talking about? It totally changes the conclusion. The restaurant wasn't targeted because of the owner's religion, it was targeted for its anti-Palistinian actions. And even the server who was inside the restaurant thought the protest was peaceful.

“Anti-Palestinian actions”? You mean donating to an Israeli medical charity?

Peaceful isn’t the issue. These protesters targeted the owner bc of his religion and the food he served and “charged [him] with genocide”.

This is no different than if pro Israeli protesters targeted Muslim owned restaurants.

It’s absolutely shameful conduct.

No, I mean firing people because they wore Palestine flag pins. That's discrimination. And the Israeli "charity" he donated to has killed thousands of Palestinian children.

What on earth are you talking about?

1. There was absolutely no discrimination. A uniform policy was enacted; the employees violated it. Separately, in a human level, wearing a Palestinian flag pin in front of your Jewish employer is a disgusting thing to do.

2. The charity has killed exactly no one.

This is like me publicly charging the local shawarma shop with being Hamas supporters just bc they’re Muslim and donate to MSF.

It’s outrageous and shameful.

Oh, btw, I’m a left-leaning Lutheran. This isn’t personal to me in any way except that I’m offended as an American and as a human being.

There is nothing wrong with wearing a Palestinian pin in front of a Jewish person. That is not disgusting. I do agree that it is not discrimination since it was a violation of the uniform policy.

The charity actively works with and donates to the IDF. The IDF kills lots of people, including children.

The owner actively supports Israel in this war, by donating to a charity that works with the IDF and by paying for meals for IDF soldiers. It looks like the protesters targeted the restaurant for those reasons, not because the owner is Jewish.

However, I do agree that protesting at restaurants is not helpful and should not be done.

Let’s test your commitment to the bolded:

Ok to wear a Blue Lives Matter to work at your Black employer’s business the day after George Floyd was murdered?

I didn’t think so.

You are the problem. You have conflated Hamas and the Palestinians so that you consider support of Palestinian people an attack on Jewish people.
A

You’ve gotten so twisted around that you don’t even know which end is up.

Remember, this conversation is about protesters targeting a US owned small business bc the owner is Jewish and cooks falafel.

It’s the protesters who failed to distinguish between a Jew in the US and the state of Israel’s actions.

Also nice that you didn’t answer the question.

That's not why they targeted the business.

Oh, it was because he explicitly supports a 2-state solution and criticized the Israeli government? (Both true)

GTFO. You’d be outraged if the shoe was on the other foot, and justifiably so.

They targeted the restaurant because the owner used the restaurant to hold fundraisers for a charity that supports the IDF. The owner also paid for/hosted dinners in the restaurant for IDF soldiers.

He brought politics into it. Which is he is allowed to do of course, but protesters are allowed to boycott or protest those actions, as long as it is peaceful. For all accounts, from police, from people at the protest, from people inside the restaurant, it was peaceful.

And you are the one failing to distinguish Hamas from Palestinians.

The charity actively works with and donates to the IDF. The IDF kills lots of people, including children.

The owner actively supports Israel in this war, by donating to a charity that works with the IDF and by paying for meals for IDF soldiers. It looks like the protesters targeted the restaurant for those reasons, not because the owner is Jewish.

However, I do agree that protesting at restaurants is not helpful and should not be done.

Let’s test your commitment to the bolded:

Ok to wear a Blue Lives Matter to work at your Black employer’s business the day after George Floyd was murdered?

I didn’t think so.

You are the problem. You have conflated Hamas and the Palestinians so that you consider support of Palestinian people an attack on Jewish people.
A

You’ve gotten so twisted around that you don’t even know which end is up.

Remember, this conversation is about protesters targeting a US owned small business bc the owner is Jewish and cooks falafel.

It’s the protesters who failed to distinguish between a Jew in the US and the state of Israel’s actions.

Also nice that you didn’t answer the question.

They targeted the restaurant because the owner used the restaurant to hold fundraisers for a charity that supports the IDF. The owner also paid for/hosted dinners in the restaurant for IDF soldiers.

He brought politics into it. Which is he is allowed to do of course, but protesters are allowed to boycott or protest those actions, as long as it is peaceful. For all accounts, from police, from people at the protest, from people inside the restaurant, it was peaceful.

And you are the one failing to distinguish Hamas from Palestinians.

You’re deliberately omitting significant parts of the story, but they’ve been set forth clearly elsewhere, so I won’t belabor the point.

Bottom line: you’d be screaming bloody murder if the shoe was on the other foot.

Keep telling yourself that if it helps you feel better. But this protest wasn't a hate crime, and it wasn't motivated by antisemitism.

Blatant antisemitism in Philly.

And, why??? Why “protest” like this in the US? What are they hoping to accomplish?

In case anyone is interested, there is an in depth article in the Guardian about the restaurant and the protest.

Several staff were fired over violating the dress code by wearing Palestinian flag pins/colors. Several staff members also disapproved of the fundraisers the restaurant held for a charity that supports the IDF as well as paying for dinners of people that were flying to Israel to serve in the IDF.

The server who was inside the restaurant at the time of the protest thought it was peaceful and not antisemitic.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/dec/08/michael-solomonov-philadelphia-restaurant-israel-antisemitic-protest

They article doesn't change the fundamental conclusion: a Jewish restaurant owner was targeted because he's Jewish, serves falafel, and organized a fundraiser for an Israeli medical charity.

The protesters and servers come across as complete a**hats.

What are you talking about? It totally changes the conclusion. The restaurant wasn't targeted because of the owner's religion, it was targeted for its anti-Palistinian actions. And even the server who was inside the restaurant thought the protest was peaceful.

“Anti-Palestinian actions”? You mean donating to an Israeli medical charity?

Peaceful isn’t the issue. These protesters targeted the owner bc of his religion and the food he served and “charged [him] with genocide”.

This is no different than if pro Israeli protesters targeted Muslim owned restaurants.

It’s absolutely shameful conduct.

No, I mean firing people because they wore Palestine flag pins. That's discrimination. And the Israeli "charity" he donated to has killed thousands of Palestinian children.

What on earth are you talking about?

1. There was absolutely no discrimination. A uniform policy was enacted; the employees violated it. Separately, in a human level, wearing a Palestinian flag pin in front of your Jewish employer is a disgusting thing to do.

2. The charity has killed exactly no one.

This is like me publicly charging the local shawarma shop with being Hamas supporters just bc they’re Muslim and donate to MSF.

It’s outrageous and shameful.

Oh, btw, I’m a left-leaning Lutheran. This isn’t personal to me in any way except that I’m offended as an American and as a human being.

On a human level, it sounds like you regard Palestinians as sub-human.

I miss the good old days when certain Jewish posters would sign off as "Not even a Jew, by the way!"

I guess I'm just not ready for the "left-leaning Lutheran" and "environmentalist Episcopalian" subterfuge variants.

You won't even acknowledge that Palestinians might have a cause to be upset at someone contributing to the mass killing of their people, and you called wearing a Palestinian flag pin "disgusting". Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to throw words like "bigotry" around.

Exactly.

This self-styled Lutheran is a disgusting, hypocritical Islamophobe. Everything else they have to say is just nauseating Zionist window dressing.

Maybe the restaurant owner feels the same about Palestinians who support Hamas. Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorists. Maybe you should check your one-sided assumptions and, yes, bigotry.

Peaceful act of bullying.
Like the PP said, just imagine a similar protest outside a halal restaurant. Palestinian professional victimhood will be out in full force!
BTW firing employees for wearing pins or whatever? Pennsylvania is an at-will state, so while terminations may have been objectionable, they were not illegal.

Like most states across the country, Pennsylvania is considered an “at-will” employment state. This means that in general, an employer can fire an employee at any time and for any reason without recourse by the employee. In the same vein, employees can also quit their job at any time without reason or recourse by their employer.
