Coffee Shop Bans Congressman Over Israel Views

A Brooklyn coffee shop sparked national outrage after banning Congressman Dan Goldman and his daughter, citing his support for Israel and calling him a “genocide enabler”—a post later deleted. The incident, occurring just before Goldman’s primary election, ignited a political firestorm, with his opponent Brad Lander condemning the shop’s actions while praising Goldman’s grace under pressure. The shop’s owner deactivated his social media, and the business faced a flood of negative reviews. Now, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division is investigating whether the shop violated federal anti-discrimination laws—putting a spotlight on where free speech ends and public accommodation begins.
