A Jerusalem cafe, "Cafe Basmalta," announced it will no longer operate on Saturdays following weeks of protests. The cafe's management stated that the protests, which they claim were driven by a perception that religious Zionists are "death eaters," have made it impossible to continue.
"The left thinks all religious Zionists are death eaters. If they don't wake up, we'll be in trouble," a statement from the cafe read, according to the report. The cafe's decision comes after a period of public debate and demonstrations concerning its weekend operations.
The article also includes several unrelated opinion pieces and commentary, including remarks from MK Karin Elharar announcing she will not run in the upcoming elections, a discussion on a government project to prevent flooding in the Gush Dan region, a review of coffee choices, and observations on Europe and political figures.
