Pro-Israel student refused service
A Maryland food co-op is discussing its customer service policy
after a pro-Israel student was refused service.
In late April, a checkout person at the
Maryland Food Collective told a student that her "I Stand
With Israel T-Shirt" was offensive, and refused to serve her,
according to
diamondbackonline.com, the
University of Maryland newspaper.
The student found another worker to help her but left the store
"emotionally distraught," said Avi Mayer, president of the
Pro-Israel Terrapin Alliance.

Belittled In Front Of Others
"To my understanding, it was done openly and in front of others,
and in a mildly humiliating manner, and that really is something
that is not acceptable," Mayer told the paper after speaking with
the student. The student "really does want to resolve this, but I
think it goes way beyond her individual experience because we can't
allow this... to be an epidemic."

Jewish Student Scarred For Life
Jewish students attended the collective's weekly meeting April
30, where workers asserted their right to deny service to anyone
they chose. However, one worker said the co-op's policy on service
will be discussed and possibly amended. An official statement from
the co-op will be available this week, she told the paper.

More Zionist Nonsense
The food store is a one room operation at a college campus, and the
food is for the homeless. Even if the incident occurred, where one
person doesn't like another's T-shirt, so what?
