California coffee shop workers were filmed denying a Jewish customer access to the restroom after she complained it was filled with antisemitic graffiti — telling her “Free Palestine” and accusing her of wanting to use the facilities because “Israel loves taking private property and saying it’s their own.”
Three employees at Farley’s East in Oakland stood in front of the bathroom and told a distressed-sounding woman filming them that she had to leave.
“I want to go in the restroom,” the woman repeatedly implores the staffers, who tell her it’s private property even while confirming she was a customer who’d eaten there.

That works on a number of levels...well played.
One worker tells the woman, “I know Israel loves taking private property and saying it’s their own.”
Might be time to level the playing field - as a Christian I don't have the right to walk into a restaurant and demand anti-Christian graffiti be removed. And because of that there's not a lot of Christian graffiti - and if there was I'd be carrying a permanent marker - not a sense of outrage.
I don't want to live in a world where I must be afraid to condemn Hamas... or excessive black school violence. Or any number of other newly minted protected classes. It's time for American Jews to give up their protected status. And every other group that's learned it's an easy way to get protection from hurt feelings.
Judged by actions... not tribe or protected class. Besides, since Jews are now being clumped in with 'white men' and 'white people' they need to toughen up. Imagine how American Jews would feel if Hillary Clinton had called them 'deplorable' ON STAGE AND IN A PUBLIC FORUM and Obama STUCK the IRS and FBI on them? Gotta toughen up guys if you're seen as being one of us.
There are laws on the books now against destruction of property - someone spray paints a church door or a Synagogue door and the person doing the damage can be arrested.Every nutcase is not a German SS Storm trooper.
And to treat them like they were only encourages them. One nutcase spray paints a swastika on a bakery window in New York and Jews in Hollywood huddle in fear? Gimme a break. That gives power to every lowlife in the country.
Way too much drama. This is the United States and the weirdos are not World War II Nazis or present day evil Hamas filth. Fight them back but not with drama and protections the rest of us don't have. the benefit? It takes away the power of the lowlife. Binds us all together against evil and stupidity and not against corrupted tribal, sexual, or grievance groups. I don't want to fear calling what Hamas did as evil - I'm OK with calling them monsters and evil...I don't want to fear being called Islamophobic. Let the Hamas supporters defend their evil or not - but not hide behind their thin skins.
Enforce laws against real crimes. Against real evil. Ban anyone from 'Palestine' from coming to our country for a decade for what they've done. Drop the whole 'hate crime' thing - all crime are hateful...or they wouldn't be called crimes.
That’s ridiculous—and the attitude that makes a political solution unlikely.
Yeah you keep beleiv8ng the pali propaganda! Everyone 3lse however realizes the palis DO NOT WANT a 2 state “solution” and have rejected every effort to have one- their inte tons are clear to all BUT the most blind

Is it OK if I call Sonny the N-word?
Does Sonny think that being anti-black or anti-trans or anti-gay free speech?
It's ALL free speech. N word, Free Palestine, anti-trans, anti-gay, anti-Muslim, anti-Jewish. All free speech.
Unfortunately, we have a "protected class" pecking order in the U.S., a legacy of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and one of the benefits of our increasingly rich diversity.
There are no pecking orders in homogeneous societies.
But in the U.S., free speech becomes "hate speech" depending on the identity of the speaker and listener. It's never hate speech to offend whites or Christians. Always hate speech to offend blacks.
Jews (who have traditionally been big supporters of hate speech laws in the West) are in a shifting middle ground. For a while, they were much protected from "hate speech." European nations even imprison people for offending Jews (or Africans, or Muslims).
But as the Third World population increases in the West, Jews are dropping in the pecking order. Whites will still suffer for offending Jews, but Jewish outrage is proving impotent against blacks and Muslims.
What a timely passage!
I know if I were the owner of that establishment, I would FIRE those employees!
Her answer should have been; "I am not Israeli. So you are denying me use of the restroom solely because I am Jewish?"
Then take them to court with that video.
Who ever thought this crap would happen in the US?
One of the most punchable faces ever. If this turd spoke to my mother that way, well I don’t want to be removed from the site.
From personal experience I will add this: there are people in this world who NEED access to a public restroom on a moment’s notice. To deny her, or anyone access to a public bathroom in itself is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, amended in 2009.
Ashkenazi Jews have a higher percentage of having IBD than most people.
I don’t know if she was Ashkenazi, but denying her access out of spite was wrong. I would’ve fired them on the spot.
“ Is it OK if I call Sonny the N-word? ”
Say it? You can’t even type it here without some snowflakes getting “offended”.
What is the big deal anyway? I grew up in the Deep South in the 60s. Whites rarely said it then. Frankly we just didn’t talk about blacks all that much. The who thing about “the n word” is a divisive plan to empower blacks, who call each other by that moniker, and revile any white who dares utter those two syllables. There is no such equivalent for anyone else. This became a big deal back in the dark Obama years. The whole thing is a joke.
His soyboi mug is all over social media. We’ll find out soon who he is and I’m sure someone will point out the error of his ways. Hopefully in an “enhanced” fashion but not physical, he looks like he’d be easily frightened. He’s pretty cocky now, but he’ll start feeling the heat when he realizes this is forever and this will probably be the best job he’ll ever have.
You are absolutely right!
if its a violation, then she needs to report it to cops- not that they will do anything but the disabilities act used to be pretty powerful, and sites could be fiend for violating it-
[[“I know Israel loves taking private property and saying it’s their own.”]]
She should have replied “Yeah? And even if that is true, which it isn’t- how does that even come close to comparing to hamas, the terrorist group you evidently support blindly, judging by your ignorant propaganda remarks- where they rape and murder unarmed civilians in cowardly sneak attacks?”
All that Holacaust stuff jammed down students throats, all the holocause Movies, all the replays of the awful black and white movies of Nazi Death Camps, The Holocause museums—seems to have been in vain. For a time no movie or book on WW II had to have a big section on Jews and the camps to the point where it seemed the whole war was over Jews. The hate is still just under the surface and can rise up, like Dracula from his grave. It is sad that this has to flair up, here of all places.
According to Yelp (4 stars): “Fun cafe in the heart of Oakland and close to the lake. Wonderful selection of breakfast and lunch items - and of course great coffee. Prices are reasonable and service is pleasant. Overall, a nice find. “
Now we know how Oakland defines “fun.”
Let me try...
He'd have to switch to contact lenses because his nose would be too flat to support glasses.
How's that?
