Reply To: Antisemitic threat or not?

Yes, I have seen anti-Semitic Yelp reviews of kosher restaurants. I’ve also seen ignorant complaints, e.g., stupid pizza place, they had no pepperoni! Or, stupid burger place, they had no cheese! The writing on this review is so poor and incoherent, I can’t be 100% sure that it’s purely anti-Semitic. If the owner/manager indeed was verbally abusing the staff, if the food did indeed smell bad, and if the reviewer’s request for a menu was indeed met with profanity and hostility, then the 1-star rating would certainly be justified. I do not understand the comment about only religious Jews eating there being a catalyst for walking out. If he was uncomfortable with religious Jews, then yes, it would be anti-Semitic. If he meant that the only patrons eating there seemed to be a captive clientele, i.e., there were only religious Jews in there, and they were only there because it was the sole kosher restaurant in the vicinity, then it wouldn’t necessarily be anti-Semitic. But at any rate, it’s very poorly worded.
