'Jews are welcome, Zionist are not,' say owners of Vietnamese restaurant in Colorado

Denver restaurant Sap Sua faced scrutiny after social media posts from its official Instagram account stated, "Jews are welcome, Zionists are not." The controversy began with a post featuring the phrase "From the river to the sea, Falastine will be free." When questioned about the safety of Jewish patrons, the restaurant responded that "everyone is welcome at Sap Sua, except for anyone who aligns with the genocidal Apartied (sic) ethno-supremacist regime of Israel." Co-owner Ni Nguyen also made a comment referencing 9/11 conspiracy theories, stating, "it was nine Israelis who were dancing and celebrating." Following online exchanges, Nguyen posted a video saying, "F*** Israel, Free Palestine." The Jewish Alliance of Colorado and StopAntisemitism have urged Colorado Attorney-General Phil Weiser to investigate if the restaurant's policy violates anti-discrimination laws.
