Rami Feinstein, an Israeli singer-songwriter, was ordering food at a Pennsylvania Burger King when an employee asked his nationality. After Feinstein said 'Israel,' the employee responded 'Free Palestine,' according to a report.
The Zioneer has learned of the incident, which occurred at a Burger King location in Pennsylvania. The employee, identified as Ariana, asked Feinstein where he was from. When he replied 'Israel,' she said 'Free Palestine.' Feinstein is a well-known Israeli singer-songwriter. The incident is the latest in a series of public interactions where Jewish and Israeli figures face anti-Israel remarks. In June, The Zioneer reported on a similar incident involving comedian Jerry Seinfeld, who refused a passerby's request to chant 'Free Palestine' outside a New York Knicks game. The frequency of such incidents highlights the growing trend of anti-Israel sentiment in the United States, particularly in public spaces.
