Manny's cafe in San Francisco has been attracting protests ever since it started. And the only reason is because Manny Yekutiel - a gay Mizrahi Jew whose grandparents fled to Israel from persecution in Afghanistan - does not oppose the existence of Israel.
There have been weekly protests against the store, even though Yekutiel did everything that the leftist activists demanded of him before he opened:
The Mission anti-gentrification activists wanted a “bicultural, bilingual environment for Mission families” with bilingual signage here. And that happened. They wanted Yekutiel to hire bilingual staff that “reflects the availability of qualified applicants in the local community,” and the staff here is now heavily composed of local people of color (many are also LGBTQ, like Yekutiel). United to Save the Mission called for “moderate price points” — and not only is the coffee a buck seventy-five, but Tecate runs you two bucks and a meal starts at six. The food here, in fact, is prepared on-site by Farming Hope, a nonprofit employing homeless, formerly incarcerated, and low-income community members — and they earn all the food revenue.
And, on top of that, the MOU calls for “community-serving groups” to use the event space here — for free. That’s happening, too (groups with a bit more cash pay $54 per hour, which is still low).
So the only reason for the protests is because Manny doesn't want to see the ethnic cleansing of Jews in the Middle East.
Last month, in a barely reported story, Manny's was vandalized with a huge painted "FUCK YOU."
The article I reference above about the people opposed to Manny gave a very simple proof that they were all antisemites.
Protesters are not canvassing the Valencia Street corridor, gauging the non-Jewish business owners’ stances on Israel’s right to exist. That’s something to think about.
That's exactly it. They aren't protesting Manny because he is Zionist - but because he is a Jewish Zionist.
And the fact that the "anti-Zionist" Jewish groups that pretend to hate antisemitism are not supporting Manny shows that they support Jew-hatred, too, when it comes from their leftist buddies.
