Berkeley's Bartavelle closing. Bye, Felicia.

 If you plant ice, you're going to harvest wind.

Bartavelle in Berkeley- a local Israel hating cafe ( 1621 San Pablo Ave ) will be going out of business, effective Sept 15. The cafe first came to the attention of the local Jewish community with their parroting of Hamas propaganda, resulting in an informal boycott by Jews and their allies. The San Francisco Chronicle reported Bartavelle sales were down 40 % since the summer, and that they were struggling to make payroll.



Here's hoping the informal boycott by Jewish families hastened their demise.

Batavelle: Ever think your politics might have something to do with it?

Lulu's on Solano Ave is even worse. Hang on a bit- I'll send you a list of Jew-hating businesses in the area

Ah! I thought that name sounded familiar. I added that cafe to my black list of Bay Area Jew hate businesses earlier this year.
