Israeli woman refused service at Florida gas station; called ‘killer’ by attendant
the Jewish journal ^ | 8/25/14 | Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz

Posted on 09/01/2014 4:01:50 PM PDT by Nachum

An Israeli woman, a resident of Coral Springs, Fla., for 15 years, was recently denied service and asked not to return again to a gas station ("On the Move Texaco" owned by J&L Services of Florida Inc.) that she had frequented over the years.

On her most recent visit, a Palestinian employee of the gas station told her: “You guys are killers and your money is not welcome here." While the employee was not on the corporate side of the company, this incident, nonetheless, is another call for alarm among the Jewish population.

Because of my concern about the statement, I called the Shell station and spoke to the store manager, Darrell Glover. He assured me that this was not normal and that this employee would be let go today. He sends sincere apologies and assured me that this would never happen again.

Since the conflict between the Israeli Defense Forces and Hamas has been at an all-time high, incidents of anti-Semitism have become more frequent around the world: Synagogues in France and Germany have been firebombed by street mobs. Even in Los Angeles, a city with a sizable Jewish population, a peaceful pro-Israel rally last month became violent as pro-Hamas protesters attacked those marching in support of the Jewish state. In Britain, a rabbi was attacked near a Jewish boarding school. In Australia, teenagers shouted “Heil Hitler” and threated to slit the throats of Jewish schoolchildren. And even though it was never officially declared a hate crime, the recent murder of Rabbi Joseph Raskin in North Miami, whose only offense was walking to shul on Shabbos, raises serious concerns about the safety of Jews wherever they may be.

Shell or Texaco. The story seems to be week on that point. What with a journalism degree being a CrackerJack(tm) prize, I'm not surprised.

Almost 70 years ago today the New York Times published a story by one of their reporters who had just visited the first large and intact death camp liberated by the Soviets. But in just 70 years anti-Semitism is again thriving.

What is going on is modern anti-Semitism is (very thinly) disguised as anti-Israel sentiment.

Chill. Matthew 24 is going on. The Lord spoke of this. Why the surprise? You think the Lord lies or exaggerates?

The rest of us are overjoyed because it means we are out of this shithole very soon.

Satanic interest. If God was through with Israel why would Satan care?

Has J&L Services of Florida Inc. released a statement related to the matter?

Last I heard, there is still no evidence to indicate that this crime was race or religion related. They have no suspects or motives.

Substitute “black” “muslim” or “homosexual” for “Israeli”, and let me know how that would work out.

The story is based on an original report that says Shell but identifies the parent company of the location as “On the Move Texaco.”
It’s kind of moot as these are all franchises that just sell gasoline under a name.
The franchise is actually owned by a Jewish guy, LOL.
Equal opportunity employer I guess....

The administration keeps importing or letting this kind of human filth into America. Expect major troubles going forward. This is why he’s bringing them in here, and letting even more terrorists and murderers just walk in across mostly undefended borders.
