Pam Bondi has issued a warning to American businesses after the Department of Justice announced it was suing a Californian coffee shop over the name of one if its menu items.
Jerusalem Coffee House, in Oakland, whose owner is of Palestinian descent, is accused of adding new drinks to the menu on the one-year anniversary of the Hamas Oct. 7 attack, that celebrated Hamas.
"One was 'Sweet Sinwar' in honor, of tribute to the leader of Hamas," Bondi said on Fox News on Wednesday. " You can't do that. And so we've sued them and we're gonna stop this from happening. And anywhere in the country, if you do this, we're coming after you."
The lawsuit also alleges that the coffee shop denied service to two Jewish customers, something the owner strongly denies.
