Coffee Shop Owner Who Called Jews ‘Greedy’ on Instagram Was ‘Misunderstood’ (Brooklyn NY)

A Bushwick coffee shop owner whose Instagram post called Jews “greedy infiltrators” told DNAinfo New York Thursday that his post was “misunderstood” and that people reacted so severely to it “because they identify so much with their race.”

Bushwick native Michael Avila, 31, opened The Coffee Shop at 203 Wilson Ave. this summer in the hopes that it would become a place for the community. He’s had several customers come in describing poor living conditions and the “sneaky” methods that their landlords—who he said are often Jewish—use to try to kick them out, Avila explained. He said that after two Jewish men looking to buy a building next door acted rudely in his shop, the larger issues about Bushwick gentrification became “personal.”

In response, he wrote a lengthy screed on the shop’s Instagram page Wednesday decrying the Jewish people trying to buy up property in the neighborhood. In the post, he described his next-door neighbor as a “hoarder” who “makes the hood look less attractive,” but noted that he still doesn’t want to see the building bought by people he perceives as “greedy.” …

“I’m anti-Zionism. It’s about politics, it’s about greed,” he said. “I’m certainly not anti-Semitic. That would stand against everything I believe I stand for.”


He says this to defend his original post about “greedy Jews”. Not only are most of these “anti-Zionists” really just “anti-Semites”, but they are too cowardly to admit it.

I’m not Jewish, but I think I would prefer the Nazis and Black Muslims who would at least be honest about their hatred of me to these snakes.

I’ve never understood the hatred for Jews. Hell, I don’t even know what a “Jew” is, except for some of them tend to have big noses and weird names. (I’m probably being VERY unPC here lol)

I do find it interesting how so many of them tend to be in charge of large financial and media corporations though.

I think it’s because the true Jewish upbringing instills some type of financial responsibility. It must be. Good businessman, not necessarily greedy.

Jews seem to be able to attract money to move in their direction.

A valuable gift, one that most of us wish we had.

For a long time money related jobs like working with precious metals or money lending were two of the most common jobs for Jews. Mostly because the Guilds would refuse to admit them into any other. They also tended to go into medicine, where they had an advantage because of the Jewish tendency to wash their hands, and scholarship which included printing when it came around.

End results is that they tended to get concentrated in those areas and the trend is still visible.

Because instead of trying to get others to give them handouts, they're working their butts off bettering their condition and future. Story of the ants and grasshoppers. Jews are industrial, and unlike that Avila guy (Mexican?), don't whine about their condition.

Nothing at all wrong with that, as far as I'm concerned. One thing that has always puzzled me is liberal Jews, but anyone being liberal puzzles me really. lol

There are evolutionists who believe that since Jews were forbidden from work in Guilds, that they honed their intellectual skills in order to thrive. They do tend to have the highest I.Q.s.

I used to be a landlord, just one duplex. I can’t see how a landlord makes money kicking out a tenant if that tenant is paying the rent. It seems to me that if the unit is vacant the landlord not only isn’t making money on the unit but loosing money due to heating bills, property taxes, etc.

Can anyone explain this one to me or is it just one of the liberal things; if you have to ask you would not understand?

Being “anti-Zionist” means one wants the state of Israel to disappear, since being Zionist means one supports the existence of the state of Israel. I’d say that being anti-Zionist is about as antisemitic as one can get.
