heh... 'not a racist bone in Israeli's body'Posted by concerned browser at 02:59am January 14, 2007 Flag This

First off, everyone is racist in some sense of the word. To suggest in a condescending manner that you've "rescued ethiopians" alone had hints of a superiority conflict within.

Secondly. I AGREE that the person paid their price, although money does NOT wash away the pain of a slur, nor does it remove him from his controversial thoughts. He'll just keep them internal, which does not mean he's changed, just that he won't say it anymore.

He already paid the pricePosted by Daniel (www) at 08:42am December 26, 2006 Flag This

Why boycott the restaurant and hurt its employees? Shefa was obviously wrong and he already apologized publicly and paid the price for his slander.

Coffee chain owner to pay for racist slander

Sahar Shefa, owner of Aroma coffee chain in Tel Aviv, agrees to pay NIS 100,000 (roughly USD 23,000) to woman whom he called black, inferior

Sahar Shefa, the owner and founder of the Aroma coffee chain in Tel Aviv, who stirred a public row after cursing a Colmobil employee, Mali Shalev, apologized to Shalev Thursday and agreed to pay her NIS 100,000 (roughly USD 23,000). ...

1. In Israel this has been amicably resolved
2. The comments were to a Jewish employee of Yeminite extraction, that is very different than what you present as "black". Anyone reading this in NY might think that Sahar Shefa made any comments against African Americans. This is of course not true.

Israeli's in general do not have a racist bone in their body when referring to African Americans or Black Africans. The government of Israel rescued tens of thousands of Ethiopian and have integrated them into Israel life. There are Ethiopian scietists, army officers, actors, models, businesspeople, etc. American pro basketball players living in Israel frequently mention that they encounter less racism in Israel than they did back home.

So, before you dirty the reputation of a nice coffee house (with free internet) and a whole county/people - choose your words

The owner of this Israeli chain is a racist!Posted by Yael at 9:38pm November 09, 2006 Flag This

A well known racist is the owner - Sahar Shefa -a black hater without shame.In Israel there is a a call for boycotting the chain.Lets hope New Yorkers will be doing just the same!
