Farley's Coffee, an Oakland coffee shop, has fired employees who were involved in an altercation with a Jewish woman. The incident was captured on video and showed the employees blocking the woman from accessing a bathroom while making anti-Israel comments. In response to the incident, Farley's issued an apology and stated that acts of hate would not be tolerated in their business. The owners of the coffee shop, Amy and Chris Hillyard, expressed their disappointment in the situation and acknowledged that events like these perpetuate anti-Semitism. They emphasized that Farley's does not tolerate any behavior that makes people feel unwelcome or unsafe. The video showed three employees standing between the customer and the bathroom door, with the intention of preventing her from recording anti-Semitic graffiti. The employees accused the woman of "misgendering" an employee and were heard shouting, "History didn't start in 1948, lady" and "Free Palestine." Farley's Coffee initially apologized on their Instagram page and promised ongoing staff training to address the incident. The company expressed its commitment to working with community leaders and organizations to ensure a peaceful existence in the community. The owners hope to continue serving the community as a welcoming and inclusive coffeehouse. Farley's Coffee did not provide immediate comment on the matter.
