[IsraelTimes] Employees at a café in Oakland, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party...every time you hear the phrase
white people,
white supremacy,
whiteanything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word

, were fired after being filmed recently barring a customer from entering the establishment’s bathroom, as she attempted to film an anti-Israel message inside, the owners of the establishment said Saturday.
Farley’s East café’s management said in a statement that due to the incident, they "fell short" of the intended "safe space" they sought to create when they opened their business 35 years ago.
"Events like these strike fear in the Jewish community and perpetuate the rise of antisemitism in our community and around the world. We do not tolerate any behavior at Farley’s that makes people feel unwelcome or safe," the statement read.
The female patron of Farley’s East had apparently complained to the staff about the graffiti inside the bathroom and sought to go inside again to film the messages, but was blocked from doing so by an employee.
Reports on the incident claimed the woman was Jewish, though that was unconfirmed. Her accent was non-local and may have been Israeli, but that too was unknown.
After the incident went viral online, Farley’s East issued an apology on social media, characterizing the graffiti in the bathroom as "hate speech" and saying that it had been removed, while insisting the chain was not antisemitic.
"The staff handled the situation poorly and we apologize for this error and the distress caused to the customer. We’ve taken corrective measures with our staff and removed the offensive graffiti," the coffee shop said, without specifying what action had been taken toward the employees.
Then on Saturday, the café said that "the employees involved in the incident are no longer employed by Farley’s."
"Though all employees are entitled to hold differing viewpoints, they are not entitled to express themselves on the job in ways that are disrespectful and hurtful to anyone," it said.
Oakland made headlines last week when some participants at a city council meeting on a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
voiced denials of the October 7 atrocities committed by Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,..., while others backed the terror group’s right to use violence against Israel.
Before approving the resolution, the city council voted 6-2 to reject proposed amendments that specifically condemned killings and hostage-taking by Hamas, whose slaughter of some 1,200 people and kidnapping of around 240 others sparked the war in the Gaza Strip.
