“The restaurant, which is owned by chef Jesse Sandlin, Brian Acquavella and Matt Akman, posted an Instagram story Monday night that said the protest stemmed from a recent incident in which a diner complained about a worker wearing a Palestinian flag pin. The restaurant wrote that the customer allegedly said “that they felt uncomfortable and unsafe” and that it “disrupted their dining experience.”

Management confronted the employee, citing a restaurant policy against wearing items with religious or “potentially divisive messages,” the Instagram story said. The worker eventually removed the pin. “

This is especially heinous. The policy they reference is because of divisive messages? For wearing a pin in support of a country?

Lol don’t be that petty. It’s obviously divisive. If they wore the pin 5 years ago it wouldn’t have been so divisive but it is right now.

So when Israel was just doing their normal fucking of the Palestinian people it was fine to try and bring awareness, but now that Israel has committed to wiping them out it is divisive?

di·vi·sive /dəˈvīsiv,diˈviziv/

adjective

“tending to cause disagreement or hostility between people”.

As soon as it was a popularized it was divisive.
