In light of the storm surrounding the restaurant, had its contracts with delivery and online ordering services Uber Eats, Square, DoorDash and Ritual terminated. The restaurant has been a spot of fierce protests between pro-Israel and Pro-Palestinian activists since 2018, and has seen confrontations between the two groups. In some instances, Foodbenders has been vandalized and spray-painted with Stars of David, as noted in an earlier report.As a result of Foodbenders' inflammatory and antisemitic statements, which came to a head weeks prior, B’nai B’rith Canada launched a grassroots campaign that included contacting politicians, requesting food delivery services cease delivering its products and petitioning the city to revoke its business license. According to toronto.com, a local news outlet, officers from the city's business licensing bureau are investigating the restaurant for violating a bylaw prohibiting discriminating behavior.Beyond her promotion of antisemitic anti-Zionist conspiracy theories online and at her store, Hawkins has said on Instagram and elsewhere that "Zionists are Nazis" and are not welcome at her restaurant, while also tying it to alleged Jewish and Zionist influence within the Canadian government and in US foreign policy. Similarly, the outcry against the store also stemmed from its use of profanity in public spaces, as signs placed on the sidewalk read f**k the police, Mossad, CIA, MI6,” among others.There is no place in our country for hate or antisemitism, and we must be on constant guard against this behaviour. Whether they occur here at home or around the world, Canada will always stand against these unacceptable acts and stand with the Jewish community. https://t.co/p6aKdlKJT5
