“Remove those Israeli flags or I’ll burn the building down,” the man shouted.

When an Israeli flag triggers an antisemite to threaten to blow up a restaurant, you know we are living in disturbing times.

At a bagel store in Queens, New York, a man spewed hateful comments and threatened the restaurant worker, saying, “Remove those Israeli flags and shut the business down or I’ll burn the building down.”

The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the incident. However, these sorts of occurrences are happening far too frequently nowadays.
