A Black Jewish woman was refused service at a Staples store in Los Angeles on Monday when she tried to print postcards celebrating Jewish identity, sparking outrage over alleged antisemitism. The employees reportedly rejected her request, calling the content “racist.”

The woman, whose identity wasn’t disclosed, sought to print materials expressing “Jewish joy,” only to be turned away in “outright, filthy, naked Jew-hating bigotry.”

The employee lied to the lady, and claimed her order was ready for pickup, when he never planned to fill the order at all.

In the post, the employee says that his grandfather was Jewish but that he is an Arab and that Staples prevents him from printing racist messaging and that "I was hit in the face with Zionist messaging. Zionism holds lots of racist ideologies towards Arab people and islamophobic ideologies. towards anyone who practices Islam. True Judaism should be celebrated, not Zionism. My manager and I reserve the right to turn away anyone for any reason, whether its pornographic images, racist images or zionist ideology. If anything says Zionism on it, you will not be welcome here, period.""

X account Jews Fight Back shared the story and slammed Staples, claiming the staff wouldn’t hesitate to print pro-Hamas slogans or flags, accusing them of discriminating based on religion and ethnicity. “They had the gall to say her joy, her pride, her existence is unacceptable. ”

The incident has fueled calls for accountability. “Staples, you employ antisemites,” Jews Fight Back charged, demanding answers. Staples has not yet responded publicly to the allegations.
