Oakland coffee shop removes customer over Star of David hat in alleged discrimination incident
A Jewish man, Jonathan Hirsch, was removed from the Jerusalem Coffee House in Oakland for wearing a Star of David hat, which the owner labeled as "violent." The incident occurred on Saturday while Hirsch was with his family. Hirsch filmed the confrontation, where the owner insisted he was causing a disturbance. The owner questioned Hirsch's identity and asked him to leave, stating that the hat was disruptive. Police later arrived and advised Hirsch to leave to avoid trespassing charges. Hirsch is considering legal action, citing potential anti-Semitic discrimination. The coffee shop is known for its support of Palestinian causes and has faced previous controversies.
