华盛顿6月20日路透电——美国司法部当地时间周一宣布，已对纽约市一家小型连锁咖啡店展开调查。该店此前在网上发帖称，若上周六的到访者中有美国亲以色列众议员丹·戈德曼被店员认出，该店会将其拒之门外。
“民权 division 已启动调查，若有必要将采取执法行动，”助理司法部长哈米特·迪伦在X平台上表示。

“联邦法律禁止咖啡店等公共场所基于种族、宗教或国籍歧视顾客，”她说道。
据《纽约时报》报道，身为民主党议员的戈德曼上周日带着7岁的女儿前往其选区外的布鲁克林威廉斯堡区的波蒂卡咖啡店。
“我们注意到您今日到访本店购买咖啡，”波蒂卡咖啡店在Instagram上写道。
戈德曼称，他此次前往是为了让女儿使用洗手间，并购买了一杯咖啡以感谢店员允许其女儿使用洗手间。
“我们不接待种族主义者、法西斯主义者、恐同者、种族灭绝帮凶以及任何介于其中的人，”波蒂卡咖啡店称，“可惜我们当时没能立刻认出您，否则我们会将您拒之门外。”
该咖啡店表示已办理退款，并补充道：“永远别再来波蒂卡了。”
该帖子周一已无法查看。其Instagram账号似乎已被注销。
戈德曼获得纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔的背书，将于6月23日的初选中对阵布拉德·兰德。兰德是前纽约市审计长，获得市长佐赫兰·曼达尼的支持。兰德与戈德曼均为犹太裔。
以色列针对加沙地带持续两年多的军事行动已造成数万人死亡、引发饥荒危机，并迫使加沙全体人口流离失所。多名人权专家、学者以及联合国调查人员称该行动为种族灭绝。
以色列则称其行动是对2023年10月哈马斯发动袭击后的自卫行为。该袭击造成1200人死亡，250余人被劫持为人质。

WASHINGTON, June 20 (Reuters) – The Justice Department said on Monday it opened a probe into a small coffee shop chain in New York City which posted online that it would have turned away pro-Israel U.S. Representative Dan Goldman had it recognized him during a weekend visit.
“The Civil Rights Division has opened an investigation and will bring an enforcement action if warranted,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said on X.

“Federal law prohibits public accommodations such as coffee shops from discriminating against patrons based on their race, religion, or national origin,” she said.
Goldman, a Democrat, visited Poetica Coffee in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, outside his district, with his 7-year-old daughter on Sunday, The New York Times reported.
“We see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee,” Poetica Coffee said on Instagram.
Goldman said he went there so his daughter could use the restroom and that he bought a coffee to thank staff for allowing her to do so.
“We don’t serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers or anyone in between,” Poetica Coffee said. “Too bad we didn’t recognize you right away, or we would have turned you away.”
The coffee shop said it issued a refund. “Don’t ever come to Poetica,” it added.
Its post was no longer visible on Monday. The Instagram account seems to have been deactivated.
Goldman is endorsed by New York Governor Kathy Hochul and is facing off in a June 23 primary against Brad Lander, the former New York City comptroller backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Both Lander and Goldman are Jewish.
Israel’s more than two-year-long assault on Gaza – which has killed tens of thousands, caused a hunger crisis and internally displaced Gaza’s entire population – has been called a genocide by multiple rights experts, scholars and a United Nations inquiry.
Israel describes its actions as self-defense following an October 2023 Hamas-led attack that killed 1,200 people and in which over 250 were taken hostage.
