Hookah shop in Paterson, NJ removes antisemitic sign

A hookah shop in New Jersey has removed an antisemitic sign.

The sign on storefront of Clifton Hookah in Paterson, Passaic County, read “Stop The New Nazis” and featured a swastika in an Israeli flag and a photograph of former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a Hitler moustache.

According to the International Definition of Antisemitism, “Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis” is an example of antisemitism.

At first, the shop refused to take down the sign, but it is understood that it has now been removed.

The incident comes amid a spate of antisemitic violence across the United States.
