Obnoxious Pro-Hamas protesters invade 5th Avenue ZARA shop on Black Friday


The New York Police Department confirmed to Daily Mail that a 29-year-old man was arrested for trespassing, and three individuals were issued criminal summonses.

Protesters continued demonstrations into the early evening, marching down Fifth Avenue with signs, drums, and flags.

Demonstrators also gathered in front of the Microsoft store, chanting: 'Microsoft you can't hide. We charge you with genocide.'

Most onlookers continued their shopping trips, but one furious man screamed at the protesters for being 'pieces of s***.'

'F*** you, you piece of s****s,' he yelled as one protester filmed.

Another onlooker in a long brown coat told the demonstrators to 'F*** off' and stormed across the street.

The protesters also demonstrated in front of the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue, across the street from Central Park.

A sidewalk vendor told the New York Daily News that she witnessed three people getting handcuffed by police during the protest.

'Anytime I ever see protests coming down the Fifth Ave., everybody’s usually pretty decent. This was the first time I’ve ever seen any arrests,' she said.

'They had drums, almost like a little band. They were playing music,' she added.

'And then something happened. Somebody started pushing. Cops were telling them they weren’t allowed on the property.'

The Paleostinian BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) National Committee called for a boycott of Zara products over the summer, accusing the major retailer of economic ties with Israel.

The committee cited Zara's decision to expand business into Tel Aviv by opening a store there at the start of the year.

1 That's contradicts the hypothesis that most protestors are women.

2 I bet you won’t see this type of protest at a drive thru liquor store in the Mid West.

3 They forget Paleostinians were the first to claim the 9/11 attacks.

4 Semi-relevant question here. It seems to be my destiny to pass one "The Kebab Shop" outlet or another several times a day. Any of you know offhand whether ownership is more halal or kosher? If the former, they've got nothing I want, no matter how tasty. If the latter, they're being pretty cagey about it, which bugs me, but at least I'd give 'em a try (and probably be back daily). Please?

6 I’ve never heard of a Jewish kebab shop, but the ones I knew in Germany were all owned by Moslem Turks, so that’s the extent of my experience.

7 Aaaand the internet provides an answer, if not the answer. In Columbus, Ohio, there is a kosher-certified fast food eatery — the Cordon Bleu-trained, Moroccan-Jewish chef-owner apparently wanted a retail outlet after two decades of catering, so not merely a kebab stand: Saba Middle Eastern Grill

Hope that helps a little, dear Slosh Smiter of the Nebraskans5558.

8 Incidentally, not having ready the article closely enough, I had assumed that Zara is an Israeli brand. But according to the Israel Times, it is a Spanish company, merely that it is very popular in Israel and has a number of shops there.

9 Shoot. Sorry, tw. Slosh was just Zenobia with more of an identity crisis than usual, and that "The Kebab Shop" thing's just a SD fancy fast food chain. Prices like "13.6," sights and smells more La Jolla than Shashlik Belt, staff that's mostly Mexican or standard fastfood diversity. The one I visited this evening was so bland it completely quelled my interest. But thanks, as always.

10 Berlin. An old Turk is alluding
To prejudice. Thumbing his Duden,
He mumbles a song --
"Can't we all get along?" --
And conclude, with, "Kebab nicht beim Juden!"
