is racist antisemitism in action. Supporting that action by posting statements that continue to conflate random Jewish persons with the government of the State of Israel is also antisemitism in action.

I surmised it’s because McDonalds has a lot of kosher restaurants in Israel, so I guess that makes them Zionist colonial capitalists or…something.

I looked up Goldie’s. They’re also a kosher restaurant specializing in falafel. So I guess that makes them cultural usurpers or…something.

I don’t want to give up on humanity, but these idiots are making it a challenge.

Meanwhile...

McDonald's Israel, in June 2013, turned down an offer to open a restaurant in Ariel in June 2013, citing its declared policy not to open any branches in West Bank settlements across the Green Line.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald%27s_Israel#cite_note-14

[madaboutharry]

159. The self-righteous don't concern themselves with facts!

This kind of information about McDonald’s not opening any restaurants beyond the green line wouldn’t matter to a mob that decided to harass businesses with any connection to Jews or Israelis.

After they were at McDonald’s in Times Square these protesters, actually this mob, moved on to a Starbucks. There are no Starbucks in Israel. Howard Schultz had opened several shops, but it was a colossal failure. The Israelis didn’t like his coffee. So one can only conclude that they targeted Starbucks because the company is owned by a Jewish person.

The statement was that any person supporting Israel is a valid target.

[Beastly Boy]

115. Don't tell me you missed months of tens of thouthands of Israelis protesting

Netanyahu's attempts to undermine Israel's democracy. It was all over the news for a long time.

And not a single falafel shop employee harassed during these demonstrations.

You're saying that Jews that don't even live in Israel are responsible for Netanyahu's actions?
Are you really saying that?

How about Israeli citizens that didn't vote for Netanyahu? Are they responsible also?

[ShazzieB]

35. I dont care for Netanyahu myself.

But this is a hideously cruel, not to mention profoundly ineffective, way to express disagreement with his policies.

This is pure, unbridled antisemitism, based on the deeply erroneous assumption that all Jews are in league with each other in any misdeeds by any Jew anywhere. I can't even express how repugnantly offensive that is.

But I thought someone posted in this thread. a list of restaurants to boycott. This was free speech directed at innocent Jews. Although we don’t really know if they support Israel’s mass murders. At least it was not violence against innocents like the Palestinians in Gaza are enduring now.

[Cha]

But just to be clear.

Protesting Muslims = a hate crime and is wrong.

Protesting Jews = is fine.

Sure sounds like your problem isn't with Israel. You just seem to hate Jews in general.

[MyNameIsJonas]

Whether Muslim or Jewish. What was happening to this deli was harassment.

Do they all support "what Israel is doing in Gaza?" You posted downthread that you think its possible that every Jewish American "supports what Israel is doing in Gaza." This must include your family, then? Maybe you should talk to them.

There was plenty of pushback against those that blamed all Muslims for the 9/11 terror attack.

[Happy Hoosier]

69. So... harass anJewish business?!

I’m astonished at what I am seeing right here on DU. Including from DU “celebrities.”

[Geezoh]

82. Who are the war criminals...

The war criminals are Hamas. Their rocket launching installations, and their mortar installations are purposely put next to schools, hospitals, residential building and any where else where the maximum number of children will die in an Israeli airstrike. Because what Hamas wants more than anything is the anti-Semitic sentiment generated by dead children. The only purpose of a Hamas attack on Israel that Hamas (and their financial supporters in Iran) and Iran knew they could never win was maximizing the number of dead children generated by Israelis defending themselves.

And why are we pointing our gnarly stink-finger of blame at Netanyahu? The day after the attacks, Netanyahu and the rest of the Israeli government sat down and worked out a plan that all could support. The plan is supported by the great majority of Israelis...so maybe it's just Jews who are war criminals.

It's amazing to me how quickly people in this country forget that the September 11th attacks were not carried out by a bunch of blue haired Hadassah ladies on a break from their majongg club. They were carried out by Islamofascits terrorist, genocidal terrorists...not Jews.

The only genocidal war criminals in this fight are Hamas. Were the Brits and the Americans genocidal war criminals when they firebombed Dresden in February 1945? Some say we were, some are idiots. The German people made Hitler possible, just like Gazan Palestinians make Hamas possible.

[TheKentuckian]

156. So what?

Why in the world would you consider it to be even remotely acceptable to harass some random business owner because they are Jewish?

I'm not taking my issues with Hamas up with the poor soul operating the Kabob place down the road because I'm not weapons grade stupid, an evil asshole, or a bigot.

Do better!

[yardwork]

5. If the purpose of this bullying and targeting is to increase sympathy for Palestinians,

I doubt it's working.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

I've been condemning Israel for the airstrikes hitting too many innocents, and that won't stop, but I will never attend a pro-Palestinian protest.

This time, the alligator really is under the bed.

[Deep State Witch]

105. Getting Their Info From TikTok

The younger people are getting their information from TikTok, Insta, and other social media without knowing where it comes from. The Iranian government has a very robust information warfare program that is probably cranking out a lot of these memes and videos. The Russians are also very good at this - as we all know. And they were the ones who trained Hamas.

[yardwork]

106. I agree that social media is a huge avenue.

I think that groups like DSA are also infiltrated and influenced by Russia. We're seeing third party candidacies again. Who is funding Cornel West? He's broke. We know who is funding Jill Stein.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia-based Israeli Chef Michael Solomonov is helping to raise money for those injured in the war in Israel.

Solomonov owns four restaurants in Philadelphia under the banner CookNSolo, including Zahav, Goldie, Laser Wolf and K'Far Cafe. Zahav was awarded the James Beard Foundation "Outstanding Restaurant" in 2019.

Solomonov said he would be donating 100% of all sales Thursday to Friends of United Hatzalah. The nonprofit emergency medical service responds to emergencies across Israel free of charge.

[yardwork]

21. I've never felt that way before, but I'm beginning to.

I really think there are some people living here who ought to leave. They seem to despise everything about America and they admire and romanticize countries with horrible human rights abuses.

I seriously begin to feel that some folks ought to just leave and go find out for themselves what it's like to live with HAMAS.

[JustAnotherGen]

25. You oughta hear

What I say about MAGATS taking their asses to Russia. I want them gone too. They can go - and we can welcome in people who would LOVE to live in America.

And I'm going to say something else - people who say "Egypt allowing in Palestinians would be condoning Ethnic cleansing" . . . they should be lobbying their Representatives to ban allowing Palestinian refugees into the USA. I mean - we wouldn't possibly want to encourage Israel in their ethnic cleansing.

Most of these folks aren't even aware that many Arab Countries - to include Egypt - expelled Jews starting in 1948. Because of Israel. Well folks - ain't no takesy backsey. The Arab world created this - I wash my hands of their 'issues'.

Or is this just bringing up an unrelated incident to justify this hate?

It's an unrelated incident except for being another example of people misdirecting their hate onto innocent parties, with terrible consequences in this case.

No justification involved.

The accused murderer is in jail, and if he did it, he'll be convicted and go to prison. And absolutely nobody on DU will say "but but but what about???"

While right here in this thread we have (a) a defense of the riot targeting a Jewish business and (b) whataboutism.

I repeat, I've not seen a single, solitary post defending the shooting of those three Palestinian men. Not one. Yet this attack on a Jewish business is defended.

This one has done everything in his/her power to deflect with whataboutism and makes no bones about it.

Wow! Now I've heard it all! That's a unique way to defend aggressive antisemitic behavior.

I'm not sure what you mean by "both sides." In this country there is hate among some people for Muslims as well as for Jews. The 3 Palestinian young men shot in Burlington, Vermont were not shot by a jewish person -- just wanted to make that clear.

Can't we condemn individual acts of hate without having to qualify it with an act committed against the side we are more sympathetic to?

For the record, I absolutely condemn the entirely unjustified act of hate aginst those 3 young men, without qualification.

120. It would be funny except it's not funny at all.

People running around claiming to be oh so caring and "sad" about things when the main thing they're doing is promoting antisemitic acts that, by now, we all should be very familiar with.

It was antisemitic harassment when frat boys marched in Charlottesville with their little cosplay tiki torches, shouting "Jews will not replace us." And it's antisemitic harassment when people form a mob outside a Jewish-owned deli in Philadelphia and shout accusations of genocide at them. The owners of this deli aren't responsible for the Israeli government's actions.

One way I can tell it's intentional antisemitism is that these protests don't ever seem to target the Israeli embassy, or the U.N., or the RNC. No, all the "protests" are aimed at Jewish individuals, Jewish-owned businesses, and Democrats.

[demmiblue]

49. Gov. Josh Shapiro:

Tonight in Philly, we saw a blatant act of antisemitism — not a peaceful protest.

A restaurant was targeted and mobbed because its owner is Jewish and Israeli. This hate and bigotry is reminiscent of a dark time in history.

How some, calling themselves progressives/left, can devolve into bigotry against another group, by attacking another minority, sometimes within their own demographic. Think about the racism and homophobia in the beginning of the feminist movement or the sexism and racism in the Queer rights movement. When you really think about who has the power, it isn't the minorities, but, we all to combine against them, we become a super majority. The sad thing is the powers that be understand this and keep us at each other's throats and therefore don't have to worry about any "individual" minority rising too high, because they can always get another minority group to take them down. Shameful!

Next, I personally know many Jewish Americans who disagree with Israeli policies, and not just recently. Their disagreement goes way back, decades. In fact, I can't think of a single Jewish American I know personally who supports or has ever supported Netanyahu.

I'm not Jewish. As far as I know, not one Jewish ancestor. My 23andMe profile is boringly WASP. So I don't have an opinion about Zionism vs not Zionism but even I, with my limited experience, know that this has been a very difficult, heartbreakingly difficult issue for Jewish people. I feel compassion for why Israel was created, and I recognize there were not perfect solutions possible.

If you don't know any Jewish people who don't support "what Israel is doing in Gaza" then I don't think you know many - or even one - Jewish person.

126. I am for peace and a homeland for both.

But, this is an antisemitic attack on innocent civilians. I was also disgusted by the protesters presence at Roslyn Carter's funeral. She did not deserve that.

Yes, protest at government buildings, in public spaces, on the streets. March, march, march for peace. PEACE!! March to feed and take care of the innocents who are harmed by two malevolent forces. But, leave ordinary citizens the fuck alone!!!

131. No American President Did More For the Palestinians

Than Jimmy Carter did. And they had the nerve to protest at his wife's funeral!

134. ANY funeral is sacrosanct. imho

Especially someone like Roslyn Carter. She was such a wonderful person and not really a public figure. I was disgusted by that protest. And I'm a big fan of protesting.
