New Palestinian restaurant in Brooklyn faces backlash for ‘openly genocidal’ phrase on menu

A newly opened Palestinian restaurant in Brooklyn has sparked ire with its menus that include the antisemitic phrase “From the river to the sea” — with locals bashing its owners for being “openly genocidal.”

Ayat owners Abdul Elenani and Ayat Masoud opened their third location earlier this month in Ditmas Park, where menus feature the phrase, “From river to sea” to label its seafood section as well as a crying Palestinian woman with the words “Down with the occupation.”
