Her attempts at self promotion go far in exposing the incestuous nature of the anti-Israel community in the Bay area.
On July 8, a group of Jewish elders, including a survivor of the Warsaw ghetto, held a peaceful vigil at Reem’s, upset at the restaurants’ glorification of violence. The group was attacked.
In remarkable example of the incestuous nature of the group-speak/group-think of the local anti-Israel community the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network, the Arab Resource organizing Center, the Mid East Children’s Alliance and Jewish Voice for Peace have all sent out identical announcements urging people to eat at Reems.
Using terms like “racist”, “Islamaophobe”, “zealot”, the collected effort of the Bay area anti-Israel community are desperate to rewrite the incident to place the blame on the victims, and to capitalize on yet another example of their righteous victimhood.
Here’s a quick guide to the Orwellian language of the local haters
“They came with racist signs”: (remember the victims not their killers)
"harassed customers”. (stood there silently)
“defend Reem’s” (attack a silent vigil)
“writing slandering articles” (engaging in free speech and expressing a contrary opinion )
Its an interesting strategy, though most shop keepers would just use a Groupon to drum up business.

Wait, wait, there's more!
The elders were also refereed to as "homophobic and transphobic" Was Rasmea Odeh queer? Is that what they are alluding to ?
From the haters:
According to Chris Lymbertos of the Arab Resource and Organizing Center: “The attacks coming against Reem’s are part and parcel of the increased attacks we are seeing against Arab and Muslim communities, even more so under Trump.
“Not only did they physically attack three community members, they tried to incite us into responding with violence by using racist, homophobic and transphobic verbal attacks on many of us. We did not engage but asked them to leave.”
