在一场高度聚焦以巴战争政治议题的激烈民主党初选期间,布鲁克林一家咖啡店显然通过社交媒体热帖将其拉黑,戈德曼称此事“令人痛心”。

周一,戈德曼在接受CNN记者劳拉·科茨采访时,谈及自己在波蒂卡咖啡店的遭遇。据周一被广泛转发的该店社交账号截图显示,这家店使用官方社交媒体账号于周日发布了一张戈德曼的照片和一张退款收据。目前,波蒂卡咖啡店已下架其Instagram主页。

“我和这家咖啡店的咖啡师互动非常愉快,”戈德曼说,“她戴着头巾,我之前并不认识她,但她格外友善,还允许我女儿去洗手间,我真的非常感激她的善意,觉得应该买杯咖啡表示感谢,于是我买了,还给了她一大笔小费。”

“这反映出,我认为如今事态令人悲哀,我们明明可以有一段美好的互动,却在不了解我的情况下发生了这样的事,”戈德曼继续说道。

波蒂卡咖啡店已删除的帖子提到了美国以色列公共事务委员会(AIPAC),并对戈德曼写道:“我们不需要你的钱(反正你的钱大概率也来自AIPAC)。”

“嗨,众议员丹·戈德曼,我们看到你今天光顾了我们店买咖啡,”已删除的帖子写道,“你有没有觉得这咖啡尝起来不像‘种族灭绝汁’?还是你至今仍难以分辨两者的区别?”

美国有线电视新闻网已联系波蒂卡咖啡店请求置评。

周二,戈德曼将面临前纽约市审计官布拉德·兰德的激烈初选挑战,兰德得到市长佐赫兰·曼达尼的支持,并着重指出戈德曼过往曾获得美国以色列公共事务委员会的支持。

兰德将哈马斯2023年10月7日袭击事件后以色列在加沙的军事行动称为“种族灭绝”——以色列政府对此予以否认——并指责戈德曼受AIPAC摆布。

2023年10月7日,哈马斯发动袭击造成约1200人死亡,另有250多人被劫持。自哈马斯发动袭击引发战争以来,加沙已有超过7万人丧生。

周一,戈德曼指责兰德将AIPAC当作“狗哨式暗号”,并表示他“绝不会屈服于这种言论和分裂行为”。

“我对内塔尼亚胡总理有诸多不满,但仅仅因为我支持以色列作为犹太国家、作为唯一的犹太国家的存在,绝不意味着我支持该政府的一切行动,”戈德曼说,“事实上我并不支持,而且我对此一直直言不讳。”

兰德向《纽约时报》发表声明,谴责该咖啡店的帖子。

“有很多途径可以游说民选官员,也可以就他们投下的票表达愤怒,没必要把咖啡店变成让人感觉不受欢迎的地方,”兰德说道。

戈德曼还就美国司法部民权司司长哈米特·迪隆宣布该部门已对这家咖啡店展开调查一事作出回应。

“我宁愿他们把时间和资源花在调查那些没有我这样的平台、不是民选官员、从某种程度上来说并没有主动寻求这种遭遇的人所遭受的反犹主义上,”他说,“我的意思是,我也不希望遭遇反犹主义,但我是公众人物,能够接受批评。”

Rep. Dan Goldman addresses Brooklyn coffee shop banning him over his views on Israel

Rep. Dan Goldman called it “sad” that a Brooklyn coffee shop apparently banned him with a viral social media post amid a heated Democratic primary election that has focused heavily on the politics of the Israel-Gaza war.

Speaking to CNN’s Laura Coates on Monday, Goldman addressed his experience at Poetica Coffee, which used its branded social media account to post a photo Sunday of Goldman and a receipt of a refund, according to screenshots of the shop’s posts that were widely shared Monday. Poetica Coffee has since taken down its Instagram page.

“I had such a nice interaction with the barista in the coffee shop,” Goldman said. “She was wearing a hijab, I didn’t know her, but she couldn’t have been nicer and allowed my daughter to go use the bathroom, and I honestly was so grateful for her kindness that I felt like I should buy a coffee, and so I did, and I gave her a large tip.”

“It’s a reflection, I think, of a sad state of affairs that without knowing me, we could have had such a nice interaction,” Goldman continued.

The since-deleted post from Poetica Coffee references AIPAC, saying to Goldman, “we don’t need your money (it’s probably coming from AIPAC anyways).”

“Hey Congressman Dan Goldman, we see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee,” the deleted post reads. “Do you see how it doesn’t taste like genocide juice? Or are you still having a hard time telling the difference?”

CNN has reached out to Poetica Coffee for comment.

Goldman is facing a tough primary challenge Tuesday from former city comptroller Brad Lander, who is backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani and highlighted Goldman’s past support from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Lander has referred to Israel’s offensive in Gaza following Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attacks as a genocide – claims the Israeli government denies – and accused Goldman of being beholden to AIPAC.

About 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 others taken hostage by Hamas on October 7. More than 70,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the war began following Hamas’ attacks.

Speaking Monday, Goldman accused Lander of using AIPAC “as a dog whistle” and said that he would “refuse to cave into that type of rhetoric and that divisiveness.”

“I have many issues with Prime Minister (Benjamin) Netanyahu, but simply because I support the existence of Israel as a Jewish state, as the only Jewish state, does not by any means, mean that I support everything that government does,” Goldman said. “And in fact I do not and I’ve been very open about that.”

Lander issued a statement to The New York Times denouncing the coffee shop’s post.

“There are plenty of ways to lobby elected officials and express outrage at the votes they’ve taken without turning coffee shops into places people don’t feel welcome,” Lander said.

Goldman also responded to Justice Department civil rights chief Harmeet Dhillon’s announcement that her division had opened an investigation into the coffee shop.

“I would rather they spend their time and resources investigating antisemitism against people who do not have a platform that I do, who are not elected officials, who do not — in some ways — ask for this,” he said. “I mean, I don’t ask for the antisemitism, but I’m a public figure and I can accept the criticism.”
