Israeli flags and posters of hostages kidnapped by Hamas sparked outrage and a boycott of a Long Island diner, where several staff quit over the show of support and business fell flat — until the Jewish community began to take notice.
Peter Tsadilas, the owner of the Golden Globe Diner in Huntington, said he began displaying Israeli flags and posters as a way to support efforts to return the hostages taken in the Israel-Hamas war.
But many locals have felt differently, according to Tsadilas, who told The Post three staff members quit, several patrons who came in daily haven’t returned, and local DoorDash drivers boycotted the restaurant. ...
A group of local drivers for DoorDash also allegedly confronted Tsadilas, telling him he was promoting hate.
...
Tsadilas said his business reappeared on the app after he threatened to take legal action.
...
Tsadilas noticed things starting to take a turn after a customer, who said she was Kosher, came in because she saw the posters and began telling her friends to come to support the business.
“After that, she sent an email and it went viral,” he said. “They’ve shown us tremendous support.”

5 Diner owner Peter Tsadilas says regular customers he’s seen daily no longer come in to eat ever since the display went up.
“Tasadilas, who is Greek, admitted there were moments at first when he second-guessed the eye-catching arrangement...“I’m not Jewish, but my father-in-law is Jewish. My partner is Jewish. My best friend is Jewish,” he said. “You know, it’s the humane thing to do. And, we want to find these people and bring them back. It’s not my family, but if it were, I would want people to speak up about it.”
NY ping.
Bless you Peter.
You’re a good man, Peter.
Wish I was still in NY just so I could spend money there.
Not that the country is filled with worthless anti Jewish lowlife Leftists or anything like that.
1970s Jackie Mason joke:
If you go to any Chinese family restaurant you always find several Jewish people there as customers. Every place.
But go to a Jewish deli or restaurant and how many Chinese customers do you ever see helping out business? Not many.
Why would anyone be “outraged” by posters of hostages kidnapped by Hamas?
Why aren’t these louts outraged at Hamas?
Peter Tsadilas is Greek Orthodox, and owns a Greek diner!
And he’s standing up for Israel in her hour of need!
Yeah, that’s really outrageous.
The world turned upside down.
but I’ll bet the locals and door dash drivers are all Arabs/Muslims.
He sure is. And a brave one.
Greeks kicked Nazi butt in WWII.
One voice in the storm can sometimes turn things around. God bless this brave man.
Better off without them.
Achtung! Juden! has made a comeback
A brave guy.
Bless you Peter.
Amen.
Eventually Turkey and Greece will go to war with each other, once Turkey goes rogue, and that day is sooner than many think.
You’d better check your WW II history. It was the Italians who were kicked by the Greeks. When the Germans then came in, it was all over for the Greeks!
