According to Hannah Feuer writing in the ‘Jewish Daily Forward’ there was a series of ‘anti-Semitic hate crimes’ in Miami Beach, Florida.
She writes how:
‘Shortly after the attacks of Oct. 7, Josh Nodel, the Israeli-born owner of Bagel Time Cafe in Miami Beach, hung Israeli and American flags on his storefront. He said the flags served as a daily reminder of the hostages in Gaza, whose continued captivity feels like “a stab in my heart.”
The cafe has been vandalized three times since.
The first incident was in October 2023, when security footage showed a man slashing the Israeli flag outside the cafe with a knife. Nodel taped the flag together and hung it back up. A month later, a woman tore down the American and Israeli flags, brought them to the middle of the street, and stomped on them. Then in December 2023, a man stole the American flag.
Nodel also owns the kosher Holy Grill & Deli in Miami, formerly known as Holy Bagels & Pizzeria. In June 2024, vandals spray painted the windows with messages reading “free Palestine” and “stop genocide.”
“We have been targeted — at both restaurants — because of our support to Israel,” Nodel said. “I’m not giving in.”
Nodel is hardly the only business owner to deal with vandalism related to Israel advocacy.’ (1)
The interesting thing about Feuer’s article here is that she is clearly describing anti-Israel/Zionist protest in the form of vandalism, but predictably breathlessly styles these – as Josh Nodel does – as ‘anti-Semitic hate crimes’. The fact that there were no attacks or references to jews in these so-called ‘anti-Semitic hate crimes’ shows that they are in no way ‘anti-Semitic’ and the business openly displays an Israeli flag on its front door which was had red spray paint over the glass in front of it.
Thus we can reasonably declare that the ‘anti-Semitic hate crimes’ at the Bagel Time Cafe in Miami Beach are simply hoaxes in the sense that they aren’t ‘anti-Semitic hate crimes’ but rather anti-Israeli/Zionist protest vandalism being deliberately misrepresented by Nodel and Feuer as ‘anti-Semitic hate crimes’.
