BDS activists target London restaurant with special anti-Israel menu
Members of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign targeted the Indian restaurant over its participation in the American Express-sponsored Round Tables gastronomic event held last month in Israel, where chefs from around the world came to Tel Aviv to sample the national cuisine.
Boycotters, who derided it as a “whitewashing event,” picketed Stazione di Posta in Rome, Tragaluz in Barcelona, Fruehsammers in Berlin and the Cinnamon Kitchen near Liverpool Street station.
Outside, they displayed a board showing dishes including “Tel Aviv Tikka with Pepper Spray” for starters, “Tandoori Chicken with Special Skunk Dip” for main course and “Tarte a la Tear Gas” for dessert.
Organisers posted a video online showing the reaction of customers to the boycotters entering the various participating restaurants, after which some diners upped and left.
