Brooklyn bookstore accused of refusing to allow Zionists on its premises
A US bookstore has allegedly refused to host an event promoting a new book because it refuses to allow Zionists on its premises.
Joshua Leifer — a critic of Zionism and the author of new book “Tablets Shattered,” which explores debates within American Jewish life — tweets that powerHouse Books in New York’s Brooklyn borough canceled a planned conversation between Leifer and local rabbi Andy Bachman.
“My biggest worry was about synagogues not wanting to host me. I didn’t think it would be bookstores in Brooklyn that would be closing their doors,” Leifer writes.
