BOYCOTT THE ROGATKA BAR IN TEL AVIV?

The Rogatka Bar - the word means “slingshot” in Russian and was used colloquially to describe slingshots used by Palestinian youth during the first intifada – has found itself at the heart of a fiery debate, after Army Radio reported earlier this week that the vegan eatery does not allow entry to IDF soldiers in uniform.
According to the report, two combat soldiers who were sent to the restaurant last week by Army Radio with a hidden recorder, were forbidden from entering the restaurant, and were told they would have to change into civilian clothes if they wanted to come in. Wearing IDF uniforms inside the restaurant, they were told, was forbidden.
“It’s nothing personal, but ideological,” the soldiers were told by Rogatka employees. “Your uniforms symbolize genocide and violence, and the violence that the IDF perpetrates is the reason for ongoing violence.”
A Facebookgroup claims to Boycott the Rogatka Bar because of this!
Make your own opinion – in our case we really like vegan food very much!
