NYC coffee shop bans pro-Israel politician in nasty post despite promise to treat all customers with ‘unconditional dignity’

Hospitality for everyone — except supporters of Israel.

A crunchy coffee shop flamed pro-Israel Rep. Dan Goldman for buying a cup of java at its Brooklyn location and issued him a refund, declaring it doesn't serve "genocide enablers."

Poetica Coffee revealed the unasked-for $9.82 refund in a bitter Facebook post Sunday, with a pic of a hapless Goldman – who faces a tough Democratic primary challenge from former city Comptroller Brad Lander – in the Park Slope shop.

"Hey Congressman Dan Goldman, we see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee. Do you see how it doesn't taste like genocide juice? Or are you still having a hard time telling the difference?" the post stated, seemingly referring to Goldman's support for Israel and accusations that the nation has committed genocide against Palestinians during the war in Gaza.

"See, here at Poetica, we don't serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers, or anyone in between. Too bad we didn't recognize you right away, or we would have turned you away. We issued you a refund—we don't need your money (it's probably coming from AIPAC anyways). Enjoy your loss on Tuesday. Don't ever come to Poetica."

Would you trust such people not to spit in your food? Or worse?

It couldn’t just be because Goldman is a jerk?

Didn’t they mandate bakeries to make wedding cakes for same-sex couples based on equality laws? In New York, state law prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation in places of public accommodation. No rights violated based on your ethnoreligious identity which as a Jew encompasses cultural, historical, and religious elements.This does not apply?

Guess that’s out of trend now. Also, I thought equal rights, you know, like equal opportunity employment and stuff, stopped you from banning people based on stuff.

Oh well, guess that’s out of trend now, in NY. But get a lawyer and it will trend again!

I’m not Jewish either and agree with you- but it couldn’t happen to a bigger POS....

Goldman is the perfect example of a stupid, liberal NYChitty Jew- a far left politician who won’t accept the fact the majority of people on his side of the political aisle hate him and his fellow Jews...

in the Park Slope shop


Park Slope is the left wing capital of NYChitty- and they are all hypocrites to the max....they fought to keep illegals yet refused to house them in a brand new massive community center built in their town rather had them living outside in tents in Floyd Patterson field several years ago...

deblasio lives there and is known as “the dope from park slope”...

Reminds me of what happened at Martha’s Vineyard when DeSantis sent 50 illegals over there, it took them 24 hours to deport them out of their city “Hey we love migrants but dont bring them here they will bring down our property value, leave, go go”

Just the NAME of that place should have been a warning.
Over NINE bucks for a cup of that BILGE they call coffee!
Served by brain dead airy-Fairies, no less!

NYC will never learn.
