Sainsbury's Strips Kosher Food from Its Shelves over Fear of Attacks by Protesters
The Daily Mail ^ | 17 August 2014 | Dan Bloom & Lucy Osborne

A Sainsbury's branch emptied its kosher food shelf after the manager feared anti-Israeli protesters outside would attack it, the supermarket giant has said.

Meats, cheeses and sauces were removed from a Sainsbury's Local branch in Holborn, central London, as it was picketed by demonstrators who were calling on the grocer to boycott Israeli goods.

The incident yesterday afternoon happened on the same day anti-Israeli activists 'wreaked havoc' at a Birmingham branch of Tesco when a demonstration got out of hand.

Actor Colin Appleby took a photo of the empty shelf, prompting uproar online as hundreds condemned the grocer for appearing to succumb to the demands of the protesters.

People also pointed out that many of the goods were not from Israel and instead came from nations including Britain and Poland.

Some are apparently not too bright.

Just because something is kosher doesn’t mean it comes from Israel or are made by a Jewish company.

Great!

Now on these newly emptied shelves, they can start selling burkhas!

Many European Jews,understandably,waited far too long to take Mein Kempf seriously.They'd be wise to take *this* threat for exactly what it is...serious.

There’s no problem with halal food, right?

Step 1: Demand the removal of all kosher food.
Step 2: Demand that all remaining food be halal.

I shudder to think what Step 3 will be.

Does Sainsbury’s now get to hang a banner, “JUDENREIN,” outside its shops now? .__.

Whoops, I mean “JUDENFREI” (Jew-free).

I mixed up by putting REIN (pure) in there. I know I’ve seen soap that was marked (in German) as being made from “pure Jewish blood” or some such horror.

Can there be any doubt that anti-Semites of Europe are now disguising their Jew-hatred by claiming just to be anti-Israel?

Time for the Jews to get a supplier and trade between them selves and cut out the merchant.

“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. All hearts go out to the fighter pilots, whose brilliant actions we see with our own eyes day after day but we must never forget that all the time, night after night, month after month, our bomber squadrons travel far into Germany, find their targets in the darkness by the highest navigational skill, aims their attacks, often under the heaviest fire, often at serious loss, with deliberate, careful precision, and inflict shattering blows upon the whole of the technical and war-making structure of the Nazi power.”—Winston Churchill

Sorry, Winston, it looks like their sacrifices were in vain, after all.
