Someone broke into the Lombard Cafe in the Society Hill area of Philadelphia and left Israeli flag stickers.
So the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) organized an event outside the shop and doubtless alerted the media and others. Both the ADL and the governor have issued statements of support for the vandalized shop, which has made a reputation for itself as a supporter of the “Palestinian” cause. In fact, the Lombard Cafe has been feuding with the community ever since the staff tore down posters of the Israelis kidnapped by Hamas on October 7.
So the little shop receives an outsized amount of sympathy, including support from CAIR and the media, for a situation it started. Where have we seen this before?
This situation seems to mirror the war in Israel. Hamas starts a fight, and then tries to play the victim and receives enormous sympathy, even from the president of the United States.
According the report in the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Cafe started it when they tore down pictures of the hostages.
How is that serving the community they love? The community they love, except for the Jews?
What would happen if they stopped the feuding, and explicitly invited Jews into the Cafe?
One of the participants at the little rally said that they were there to fight for the owner, while a female rabbi said that they should transcend the war.
That is actually very good advice that the Lombard Cafe should heed.
“It is my right to call for a cease-fire. It is my right to raise funds for lifesaving care,” the owner of the cafe said.
That’s right, and just keep doing it again, and again, and again until you get your way.
After all, that’s how these things are done.
“Community rallies around owner of Lombard Cafe in Center City after it was vandalized,” by Katie Katro, WPVI, May 17, 2024:
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Supporters rallied around the owner of a cafe in Center City Philadelphia on Friday after a recent break-in and vandalism at the establishment.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) held the gathering outside the Lombard Cafe on the 500 block of Lombard Street.
Jasmine Amira Taibi-Bennoui, the cafe’s owner, is speaking up after she says her business was vandalized earlier this week. She’s a Muslim-American woman who has been a vocal supporter of Palestinians.
“We are not hoping to close our doors. We want to continue to stay here and serve the community that we love,” Taibi-Bennoui said.
That would be the growing pro-Hamas community.
She says someone tampered with the cash register and left behind what she calls offensive and pro-Israeli stickers.
“We did not expect for that disagreement to escalate to creating an environment of discomfort, hostility, and fear for us, our staff, our community,” said Taibi-Bennoui.
Many residents and faith leaders came to show their support.
“She’s been an amazing supporter towards me, as a woman of color, small business owner as well,” said Betty Wasey of Washington Square West.
“The outpouring of support and community is inspiring and hopeful in a time when there’s not a lot of hope,” said Audrey Hausig of West Philadelphia.
“We’re here right now to stand with Jasmine to say that we are standing with you and we’re fighting with you,” said Dr. Mark Kelly Tyler of Mother Bethel AME.
“We shouldn’t feel afraid to lock up our businesses and go home and then see that the next morning it’s been vandalized. That shouldn’t be okay,” said Samar D. of the Palestinian Peace Coalition.
Governor Josh Shapiro and the Anti-Defamation League have condemned the vandalism….
Keys says
Smells like a false flag operation. CAIR does these things; some Muslims do these things.
This cafe has no security cameras or alarms? What the story on that?
Westman says
And the “culprit” will never be found. What’s not to like? The cafe gets sympathy business and CAIR gets its exclusive notoriety since Al Sharpton can’t get traction with a “white” victim.

The place was “broken into”….someone “tampered with the cash register”….and “offensive” stickers were left.
No cash was stolen? Nothing taken? Nothing actually “vandalized” except what was “broken” with the breaking-in. what was “broken” with the breaking-in?
did the perp pick the lock? Break a window?
And when they discover that the ‘perp’ is a mozum supporter of the hamas terrorists, murderers, rapists, etc. will they then apologize to those people they hate?
These mozlums joined in with the terror when they tore down hostage posters. They made themselves a part of the ‘war.’
They had to do something to be seen as the victims of it all. A ‘break-in, some stickers, some “tampering,’ Now they get the sympathy and support of the fools who rush in where Angles ***refuse**** to tread…because the space holds evil.
And stupid people say stupid things. For example:
““We shouldn’t feel afraid to lock up our businesses and go home and then see that the next morning it’s been vandalized. That shouldn’t be okay,” said Samar D. of the Palestinian Peace Coalition.”
she says they “shouldn’t feel afraid”…to “see that the next morning it’s been vandalized.” Sure they have no need to feel “afraid” when they know who did the “vandalizing.” It “shouldn’t be okay” ….to “feel afraid.”
Not when they know who did it. And they know it was for portraying them as victims instead of the perps of violence that they are.

“.. And when they discover that the ‘perp’ is a mozum supporter of the hamas terrorists, murderers, rapists, etc. will they then apologize to those people they hate?”
LOL. Nope… it’ll go down the old memory hole. Just like all the multitude of other “incidents of Islamophobia” that turn out that way.
One other thing. I notice the ladies with the clerical collars. Let me guess: The Church of the Holy LGBTQ Witnesses?

Yeah I noticed too though no surprise that fake and apostate pastors and rabbis would show up for a fake event
somehistory says
Recently I read a joke published on a web page for social contacts.
A priest, a pastor and a rabbit went into a blood donation center.
The nurse asked the rabbit, “what’s your blood type?”
Rabbit; “Probably a typo.”
Anyone can pretend to be anything, and it seems a lot of people like to pretend to represent some “faith;” and it turns out that they are not really representative at all.
Those of a like mindset can then use those to slam the ‘faith.’
somehistory says
Of course, when I wrote the question, the answer was obvious. They never apologize for their slander of the non-mozlums.
SC says
Sounds fine to me. Let the philly police protect the haters. They protect every other worthless piece of shit.

One of the principle “built-ins” of the terror guide, the koran, and fundamental to the success of the gutter cult of (p)islam, as commanded by the pedophile mohammed who shat the contents of the koran into the arabian sands, is “tequila”, or muslim lying.
Without lies, (p)islam dies.
