Parviz Mukhamadkulov, founder of Poetica Coffee, on Monday defended his company\u2019s decision to refund Rep. Dan Goldman\u2019s coffee purchase and blasted the pro-Israel Democrat on social media, telling him never to return.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cPretty simple process, if you support genocide, we reserve the right to not serve you,\u201d Mukhamadkulov replied to a LinkedIn post praising his establishment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In replies to previous posts, he has accused Israel of committing genocide, compared the Jewish state to Nazi Germany, and downplayed the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack that killed and abducted civilians.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIsrael is the Nazi Germany of current time,\u201d he wrote in response to a video posted by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cExplain to me why Israel is killing babies?\u201d Mukhamadkulov replied in another post, <\/span>according to the New York Post.<\/span> \u201cAfter October 7th, the Palestinian state will extend from the river to the sea.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Mukhamadkulov also minimized the account of a Holocaust victim killed at the Auschwitz extermination camp, saying, \u201cThis is a horrible story. That is why it\u2019s important we talk against the genocide Israel is committing against Palestinians.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The Department of Justice is investigating the coffee chain that claims to promote \u201cradical hospitality,\u201d The Daily Wire previously reported.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Over the weekend, Poetica Coffee, which operates seven locations across the Big Apple, mocked Rep. Goldman in a Facebook post, declaring that it does not serve \u201cgenocide enablers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHey, Congressman Dan Goldman, we see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee. Do you see how it doesn\u2019t taste like genocide juice? Or are you still having a hard time telling the difference?\u201d the coffee shop said, posting a picture of Goldman at a Brooklyn location.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cSee, here at Poetica, we don\u2019t serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers, or anyone in between.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>

On the company\u2019s website<\/span>, Poetica says the chain is \u201crooted in the Uzbek tradition where the guest is sacred, the books are unbanned, and the door is open to everyone.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

But the company struck a markedly different tone when addressing Goldman.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cToo bad we didn\u2019t recognize you right away, or we would have turned you away. We issued you a refund\u2014we don\u2019t need your money (it\u2019s probably coming from AIPAC anyways). Enjoy your loss on Tuesday. Don\u2019t ever come to Poetica,\u201d Poetica said on social media.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As of Tuesday afternoon, the post was still up on <\/span>Facebook<\/span>, and it provoked a fiery response from the DOJ\u2019s Civil Rights Division.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cFederal law prohibits public accommodations such as coffee shops from discriminating against patrons based on their race, religion, or national origin. These actions are not only reprehensible, they\u2019re potentially illegal,\u201d Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said. \u201cThe Civil Rights Division has opened an investigation, and will bring an enforcement action if warranted.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Goldman \u2013 who is locked in a heated reelection primary \u2013 responded to the coffee shop\u2019s social media post.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt was quite surprising, in part because I had such a nice interaction with the barista in the coffee shop. She was wearing a hijab, I didn\u2019t know her, but she couldn\u2019t have been nicer, and allowed my daughter to use the bathroom, and I honestly was so grateful for her kindness that I felt like I should buy a coffee, and so I did, and I gave her a large tip,\u201d Goldman said to CNN.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

What happened with Poetica Coffee this weekend does not reflect the New York City I know and love. We\u2019re better than that.<\/p>

Democratic voters in New York City\u2019s 10th Congressional District \u2014 which stretches from Manhattan\u2019s East Village into several affluent Brooklyn neighborhoods \u2014 are heading to the polls today to decide whether to renominate Rep. Dan Goldman. The pro-Israel Democrat faces a tough challenge from his party\u2019s far-left flank, which has pledged to take a tougher stance against AIPAC and U.S. military aid to Israel.<\/span><\/p>

His leading challenger, Brad Lander, the former city comptroller endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani, has made his criticisms of Israel a central part of his campaign message.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s a reflection, I think, of a sad state of affairs that, without knowing me, we could have had such a nice interaction,\u201d Goldman added. \u201cTwo people, obviously from different backgrounds, different faiths, but that\u2019s what America is, and that\u2019s what New York City is, that is what I believe in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Don\u2019t ever come to Poetica,\u201d Poetica said on social media.\u00a0As of Tuesday afternoon, the post was still up on Facebook, and it provoked a fiery response from the DOJ\u2019s Civil Rights Division.\u00a0\u201cFederal law prohibits public accommodations such as coffee shops from discriminating against patrons based on their race, religion, or national origin. These actions are not only reprehensible, they\u2019re potentially illegal,\u201d Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said. \u201cThe Civil Rights Division has opened an investigation, and will bring an enforcement action if warranted.\u201dGoldman \u2013 who is locked in a heated reelection primary \u2013 responded to the coffee shop\u2019s social media post.\u00a0\u201cIt was quite surprising, in part because I had such a nice interaction with the barista in the coffee shop. She was wearing a hijab, I didn\u2019t know her, but she couldn\u2019t have been nicer, and allowed my daughter to use the bathroom, and I honestly was so grateful for her kindness that I felt like I should buy a coffee, and so I did, and I gave her a large tip,\u201d Goldman said to CNN.\u00a0What happened with Poetica Coffee this weekend does not reflect the New York City I know and love. We\u2019re better than that.In difficult times like these, we must come together and fight for the future we all deserve. pic.twitter.com\/6UG7yo814k\u2014 Daniel Goldman (@danielsgoldman) June 23, 2026Democratic voters in New York City\u2019s 10th Congressional District \u2014 which stretches from Manhattan\u2019s East Village into several affluent Brooklyn neighborhoods \u2014 are heading to the polls today to decide whether to renominate Rep. Dan Goldman. The pro-Israel Democrat faces a tough challenge from his party\u2019s far-left flank, which has pledged to take a tougher stance against AIPAC and U.S. military aid to Israel.His leading challenger, Brad Lander, the former city comptroller endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani, has made his criticisms of Israel a central part of his campaign message.\u201cIt\u2019s a reflection, I think, of a sad state of affairs that, without knowing me, we could have had such a nice interaction,\u201d Goldman added. \u201cTwo people, obviously from different backgrounds, different faiths, but that\u2019s what America is, and that\u2019s what New York City is, that is what I believe in.\u201d","og_url":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=553","og_site_name":"Blue Route Journal","article_published_time":"2026-06-23T19:12:10+00:00","author":"admin","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"admin","Est. reading time":"4 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=553#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=553"},"author":{"name":"admin","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/#\/schema\/person\/19da116f8d79cf8987781569801c6b7c"},"headline":"The Anti-Israel Coffee Shop Owner\u2019s Trail Of Receipts Gets Worse","datePublished":"2026-06-23T19:12:10+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=553"},"wordCount":844,"commentCount":0,"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=553#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/246b8be41f94102e87f3733f2e90e7cc.avif","articleSection":["News"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=553#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=553","url":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=553","name":"The Anti-Israel Coffee Shop Owner\u2019s Trail Of Receipts Gets Worse -
