As a Jewish-owned and Jewish-inspired pop-up (check the name), we’ve been horrified by what’s happening in Israel, Gaza, the West Bank and around the world. This should go without saying, but multiple things can be true at once: • Hamas committed horrific acts on October 7th • Antisemitism is real and rising • Islamophobia is real and rising • Civilians, whether Palestinian or Israeli, or Muslims, Arabs, Jews and more living around the world, deserve dignity, safety, and humanity • And unless we are willing to ignore what we are seeing with our own eyes and hearing with our own ears, the Israeli government is inflicting, or supporting, catastrophic and mass violence on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank in a deliberate attempt to destroy, in part or in whole, their society, which is also known as genocide We know posts like this upset some people. We also know some folks have had opinions about our collaboration with our Palestinian friend @coffeepluscakeny and the fundraising work we’ve done together. But our goal has never been to inflame things further. It’s been to acknowledge complexity, reject dehumanization, and try—in our own small way—to support people who need help. That’s why we’ve raised money for organizations working to feed and care for civilians, including groups like World Central Kitchen and the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. We’ll continue doing that this summer during our block parties on📍@31staveopenstreet , called the Community Cookouts. Certain menu items will remain free, but will include suggested donations, with 100% of proceeds going to a designated organization that we’ll announce ahead of each event. Through some dark magic and community support, those donations will also be matched 1:1. We’re not naive enough to think ribs and chicken and block parties will solve a conflict this massive, painful, and historic. But ignoring suffering isn’t an option either. Our block parties have always been about three things: Food. Community. Cause. And we’re grateful that so many people in our community understand and support the work we’re trying to do alongside @coffeepluscakeny and others.
