The man was not accused of any specific action—only of being Israeli.
The footage, viewed over 24,000 times, has sparked widespread backlash, with many calling it an act of discrimination, not political protest. Critics say the incident reflects a troubling rise in antisemitism masked as activism.
The café has yet to respond publicly. No formal complaints have been filed, but calls for accountability are growing.

We have the power to put that coffee shop out of business, it is time that we show the world we will not tolerate Jew Hatred any longer. Let us make sure that they understand it, hurt them where it hurts the most in their bank account.
Everyone should go to Google maps and give them a one star for their horrible customer service and experience.
Sounds like a white dude . Park Slope crawls with white leftie, woke, radical, American hating, Israel hating scum snobs.
Can you imagine if the customer was black? The shop would have been on fire to the Jews don’t learn from history
Did he file a Police Report? If not, its like it never happened. Only then can the incident be investigated and charges filed. Its time to stop kvetching and fight back!
How did the counter guy know the customer was Israeli? Was he wearing something with Hebrew letters? With each passing day it becomes more apparent that Gobles ym”s was right. you say a lie enough times it becomes the truth. Repeat after me 50 times “genocide, apartheid, famine, nakba, colonialist. Do you believe yet?
Business is not open to VARIETY of customers. Sue their beans off, for racist practices & civil rights violations. Move on.
Very simple. Put people outside to boycot this cafeteria for pigs!!!!
Can eric adams anti semitism task force look into this?
There are better coffee shops in Borough Park.
They’re getting slammed on Google maps reviews .. so bad they won’t be able to walk right. Hope someone is doing the same on yelp etc.
Sue them
The toxcitity of Oakland is spreading westward. They have a case against the cafe in Oakland for same reasons
USA v harara
why is he buying in a non kosher store?
Go to a kosher store and get your coffee.
Don’t support antisemites.
Hechsher?
There is clearly at least some context missing
While I feel badly for the experience of this Israeli for the rude and discourteous treatment that he experienced, we also have to remember that when it is the other way around (Israelis in the USA, and in Israel), treating customers or tourists very discourteously, either in the stores or elsewhere, very little is ever said about that, on this site.
