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.

Florida Jews went 70% for Baraq.
They love Democrats of all colors.

Has any local or regional Jewish leader come out of late to advise Jews to arm themselves? While there are Jewish gun organizations, what is needed are local and regional cultures that encourage the carrying of guns by adults.

It's a good start. But, it's one thing for the store manager to tell a reporter that the employee would be let go, and to ask the reporter to send his apologies to the lady.

What needs to happen is for the store owner to issue a formal statement that the employee has been let go. Then, the store owner needs to personally apologize to the lady. If the owner was truly responsive, he would give the lady at least a few hundred dollars of free fill-ups. It's the least he could do for someone who has been a customer of his for years and who has been the victim of hate speech by an employee of his establishment.

I don't expect much from journalism majors.

I'm never disappointed when I get nothing, or conflicting gibberish.

The administration keeps importing or letting this kind of human filth into America.

He thrives on chaos, it is how he has learned to gain power.

The franchise is actually owned by a Jewish guy, LOL.

I wonder if anti-Semite Palestinian knew a "killer" Jew (not my opinion) was his boss?

"Arrest him and deport him."

Deport all Muslims.

They don't know how to live with civilization.

From what I understand, a lot of the manual labor in Israel is done by Palis. It’s pretty common over there.

Shell or Texaco.
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
I normally don’t go to bat for the lack of editors etc but I believe Shell/Texaco merged about the same time Esso/Mobil and BP/Chevron.

Some of the older stations kept the old name etc...

Texaco merged into Chevron.
Shell is a different company.
