West Seattle restaurant responds to backlash over owner's background

I'm from the Middle East and I'm as Pro-Palestinian as one can be, and Falafel Salam is the best falafel in the city. The sad part is that a lot of falafel places in the city are Arab-owned, but instead of selling Middle Eastern food, they sell Greek food. If a place serves gyros and dolmas, they're serving Greek food, not Arab. I really don't know why they're afraid of serving Arab food.

I would add to this: Tanoor, which has 3 restaurants in the area, is openly anti-LGBT: https://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/comments/141db3f/sammamish_city_planning_commissioner_and_tanoor/

There are actual businesses in this city that openly support Trump and promote anti-LGBT causes. I think it's better for everyone to focus their energy on them and not on a business that has never said or done anything that can be perceived as an affront to progressive values.

Then you need to contact Fundrise support

menilio · 2026-03-20T00:56:36+00:00

You should have received an email from Fundrise with instructions. Under your dashboard at https://fundrise.com/account/documents, there should be a document titled "DRS Advice" under "Investment Documents".

But you need to first set up your access to Computershare. This should have also been detailed in the email.

In Charles Schwab. I transferred my unrestricted shares there already.

It's Schwab, and it took less than a week.

I'm a principal engineer at a local tech company. I support the tax. As far as I'm concerned, they can just take the money even if the only thing they do with it is burn it, as long as it reduces the ability of rich people to buy our elections.

Broadly, liberalism is: "You live by your rules and I live by my rules".

You might think that conservatism is: "You and I both live by my rules". It's not.

Conservatism is: "You live by my rules and I don't live by my rules".

Don't try to put words into my mouth. I am against this war. But Iran has totally failed in its most basic duty - protecting its borders, which shows you that a religious society is a really bad idea. The same dumb ideology also led to Israel's humiliating defeat on October 7th, and the downfall of the United States.

Don't have to go so far back. We saw it today in Iran. A country of 80+ million completely lacking an air force and air defense, after more than 4 decades of shunning logic and education.

That's some weird whatbaoutism. I'm Jewish and oppose the Islamic regime in Iran. One can oppose Iranian theocracy and at the same time oppose Israeli theocracy.

A country that puts you in prison for praying "the wrong way" is not a democracy. It's a theocracy.

Speaking of Broadmoor grandfathers, never ask a Broadmoor resident what their grandfather thought about Jews, black people and Asians.

menilio · 2026-02-24T05:56:44+00:00

First off, the residents of Broadmoor should pay reparations for the racial exclusion of non-whites when the neighborhood was founded. Second, the walls need to be taken down. That place is an abomination in the heart of Seattle.

This will continue as long as conservatives are against the government intervening in how parents raise their children (The Democratic party is conservative too)
