Three employees at a California coffee shop who were seen blocking a Jewish woman from using the bathroom while making anti-Israel comments in a now-viral video are now out of a java job.
Amy and Chris Hillyard, the owners of Farley’s East in Oakland, posted on social media Sunday that the employees seen on the video berating the customer “was shocking and unacceptable” and they are now jobless due to their actions.
“We do not tolerate any behavior at Farley’s that makes people feel unwelcome or unsafe. Because this act was not aligned with our values, the employees involved in the incident are no longer employed by Farley’s,” the Hillyards posted on the shop’s social media.
“Events like these strike fear in the Jewish community and perpetuate the rise of anti-Semitism in our community and around the world.”
“We can and must do better — and this starts with us creating a safe space for anyone who patronizes our coffeehouse.”
The video, recorded by the customer, showed three of its employees blocking the woman from using the shop’s restroom.
As the customer stands her ground, insisting on using the public restroom, another employee says, “I know Israel loves taking private property and saying it’s their own, but we got to head [out],” while gesturing his hand toward the door.
The customer, who claims to have gone into the bathroom beforehand and noticed antisemitic graffiti written on the mirror saying, “Zionism = fascism” and “Your neutrality/apathy is enabling genocide” scribbled on a diaper-changing station, was attempting to re-enter to document the remarks when the employees prevented her.
One of the employees started telling the customer the café was “private property” and she needed to leave.

For antisemitism? Good.
But the Democrats, progressives, other assorted Leftists and Muslims would complain that this was "Islamophobic."
How long before the ex-employees appear on CNN? (spit)
now try it with a MAGA hat
Anyone want to guess the party affiliation of the employees?
Bueller? Bueller?
And they call everyone else the Nazis. Baffles me how people tolerate this level of stupid.
A lot of students need to be similarly ejected from Universities, too.
Fire them, then jail them.
The Nazicrat Party of Führer Newsome.
The business in question is temporarily closed, according to the interweb.
Or get ready for a “visit” from a “disgruntled” ex-employee.
Yep.
How did they know the costumer was Jewish , do they make Jews wear a Yellow star when they enter the shop?
AKA DemocRats.
Is there any wonder as to why so many are fleeing Kalifornication?
WHERE do these people come from? I mean did they grow up with NO boundaries?
My thoughts exactly.
Well said.
