Pro-Palestine vandals daubed the words 'Free Gaza' and threw red paint over a newly opened branch of Gail's, as activists accused the bakery chain of 'funding Israel'.
I will spend SO MUCH here...
I've been eagerly waiting this branch's opening day to open in Stratford where I work, as I love the one in Wanstead (the cheese & chive scones are better than I can make myself!) and the news I'll be sticking it to the mad Paeleostinian supporters will make the lunchtime coffee and cake even sweeter!
Gail's has previously faced accusations of being Israel-owned or backing Israel's 'war machine'. The chain was founded as a wholesaler in the 1990s by Israeli baker Gail Mejia and was rapidly expanded by Israeli entrepreneur Ran Avidan from 2005 - but both are no longer linked to the business. It is today owned by Pizza Express entrepreneur Luke Johnson and American investment firm Bain Capital. Bain was among 500 other venture capital firms that signed a letter in support of Israel following the Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023, and it has investments in Israel, including in AI, cybersecurity and software companies.
Not that that will matter to the insane people in this activist group domestic terrorist group one little bit!
A spokesperson told The Guardian in 2024: 'Gail's is a UK-based business with no specific connections to any country or government outside of the UK and does not fund Israel.'
Shame.
