Brooklyn Coffee Shop Offers Fresh Roasted Antisemitism

If you like your half-caf, no whip, soy latte with a side of conspiratorial Jew hatred, Brooklyn’s Bushwick Coffee Shop is your kind of place.

Earlier today, in a series of (now-deleted) posts and interactions on its semi-official Instagram (and, as Brokelyn points out,  mirrored on the owner’s Facebook page), The Bushwick Coffee Shop launched itself into Mel Gibsonian territory when, while praising a neighbor who didn’t sell his property to Jewish developers, decried Jews as “greedy infiltrators” who “function via greed and dominance.” And lest you think this is simply in reference to these specific Jewish developers, don’t be so sure:

Perhaps someone should consider switching to decaf.
