NYC bookstore allegedly cancels event over pro-Israel moderator: ‘We don’t want a Zionist on our stage’
New York Post ^ | Aug. 21, 2024 | David Propper and Olivia Land

A popular bookstore in Brooklyn essentially axed a planned book launch event at the last minute due to the moderator’s views on Israel — with an employee telling the author that they “did not want a Zionist on [their] stage,” The Post has learned.

Joshua Leifer was just a few hours from taking the stage at Powerhouse Arena in Dumbo Tuesday to discuss his new book with Rabbi Andy Bachman when he learned that the venue was taking issue with Bachman’s pro-Israel politics.

“[They said they] would not be willing to host a conversation between me and Andy because they wouldn’t allow a Zionist on the premises,” Leifer recalled in an interview, noting the entire event was a discussion between the pair.

...and yet a majority of Jews support Democrats. Suicidal.

Back in the early 2000s, I was at a Barnes & Noble book store in NYC. A rabbi was hosting a book discussion. I listened in briefly.

He said that Bush, the leader of the most powerful nation on Earth, was taking out Israel's chief enemy, Iraq. He said this was proof of the existence of God.

That was about 20 years ago. The tenor in NYC book circles has certainly changed.

I’m trying to imagine if the bookstore owner had said this to a black or a muslim. National outrage.

“ A popular bookstore in Brooklyn…”

Why not name the bookstore?

Cowards.

Yeah, they probably don’t want to get sued for defamation.

I thought they did mention the book store’s name. Powerhouse Arena.

a Zionist is defined as:

An individual who advocates for an independent Jewish state where Jews can live in safety

What exactly is wrong with this?

Here is your standard understanding by Jew haters of what Zionism means:



Leftists and Muslims are keeping Hitler's dreams alive.

They don’t like Jews. They pretty much think it’s a crime to be Jewish.

And the Jewish Priests put their King on the cross.. They are God’s chosen people.. God makes the rules.. They have suffered attacks and hate.. They did not accept their King. He didn’t come wearing a robe, and he was born in Bethlehem, and His father was just a carpenter.
Jesus wept over the refusal.. Knowing they would suffer. And they have.
Nevertheless, Jesus will come back to the land..
End times, they will flee to Jordan to Petra. .. Jordan has not attacked Israel..
Israel is hated because it is God’s.. So is the United States.. No matter what Obama claims. (Barry and Mrs are idolized by the dems)..
When he came on the scene it was the birth of an uprising.. Division.. Clintons and Obama.. Too much anti everything America stands for.
And 2 generations of minds willing to lose everything.. To follow Barack.
