Brooklyn cafe rants about ‘greedy’ Jews

Instagram account features accusations of ‘quiet infiltration’ and ‘greed and dominance’ in anti-Semitic tirade


A Bushwick coffeeshop waxed anti-Semitic in its Instagram feed on Wednesday, accusing the local Jewish population of “greedy infiltration” and of “greed and dominance.

Coming to his own defense hours later, the administrator of The Coffee Shop clarified, saying “there is nothing wrong with being Jewish” — provided you are an anti-Zionist, of course.

9. So you have abandoned your support of Israel?

Can't have one without the other David. Israel oppresses and brutalizes the people of Palestine. That's a core feature of the state, and to hear many tell it, it is mandatory for Israel's very existence. So, if you "support Israel," then you are also supporting that.

I mean, I suppose it's possible to be supportive of a future Israel where such features of the state have been discarded to the dustbin of bad ideas. But that requires active opposition to these violations of human life and dignity. Which you have absolutely not engaged in. Instead you act as a constant source of defense and apologia for these terrible ideas, and belittle and attack those who do make an effort to oppose them.

And what does your being gay have anything to do with this? What a weird segue.

Of course, he's just anti-Zionist and not anti-Semitic, right?
