It's been up for several years already, they'll stay in business. While I'm open to correction, I think justiceseeker93 is mistaken that statistically speaking, the most anti-Semitic ethnic-religious-cultural demographic in the US are Arab Moslems, followed in second place by African-Americans. I don't doubt it, but I don't think most surveys break our US Muslims. Blacks get the prize. Unless you break out Hispanics as foreign born and American born, in which case foreign born win. He knows his market.

Despite the fact that they’ve been up for several years, I don’t think they’ll stay in business for long. The mural posits that America is in a deep recession, while Israel’s economy thrives. The underlying assumption of that statement is that prosperity is a zero-sum game. I.e, If Israel prospers while America stagnates, it must be because Israel took something away from America and the dead children of Ghaza in order to become prosperous. But that calls the existence of Bigie’s into question. If Bigie’s prospers while the black community around it stagnates, by the same non-logic of its own mural, it must be taking something away from the black community. Blacks in America are sometimes shockingly anti-Semitic, but they resent Asian store-owners just as much as they do Jewish, and that includes Arabs. The anti-Jewish murals are probably all that’s keeping them from being boycotted right now, just for being themselves (outsiders) + some damned incident or other to serve as a pretext. The store will not prosper long, murals or no.
