In downtown Miami, a bagel shop, Holy Bagels & Pizzeria, was once again targeted by a vandal for the fourth time. This time, volunteers gathered to help clean up the graffiti that read “Free Palestine End Genocide,” which was spray painted on the shop’s front windows. The owner, Josh Nodel, expressed his disbelief at the act of violence and vandalism that occurred.
Surveillance footage obtained by Local 10 News captured the culprit in the act of defacing the shop. Nodel condemned the vandalism as an attack on the Jewish nation and against Florida law. Despite the incident, Nodel expressed gratitude for the support from the community, receiving calls from various sources expressing solidarity.
This was not the first time Nodel’s shop was targeted. A similar incident occurred in December at Bagel Time Cafe, where Israeli and American flags were vandalized since conflict erupted in the Middle East. Although a suspect was arrested previously, the recent vandalism serves as a reminder of the challenges faced.
Despite ongoing challenges, locals are committed to displaying their American and Jewish pride. A judge standing outside the courthouse next to the bagel shop emphasized
