Poetica Coffee operates seven cafés across Brooklyn and the East Village in New York City, as well as a mobile coffee truck, and all of them need to be boycotted. Founded and owned by a smug bigot, Parviz Mukhamadkulov, they have taken antisemitism to new levels, and they are now even harassing Democrats.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has made his hatred of everything Israel well known. That tone has filtered down through the citizens and has emboldened antisemites to display their own bigotry and hatred.
