Gabriel Shohet’s sin was his membership in the WJC, and simply being Jewish.

Together with his college roommate Eirik Holth, Shohet founded a global chain of coffee shops called Black Sheep Coffee, starting in London and expanding outward, with more than 120 locations across the globe, including the United States. He was once a member of the World Jewish Congress, when he advocated for the Jewish people and fought against antisemitism.

A protest at a Black Sheep café disrupted patrons enjoying their coffee, as a woman with a megaphone marched through the restaurant shouting that the café is Zionist and the coffee is “Palestinian blood.” After her tirade was over, she was joined by her companion in chanting, “Boycott Black Sheep.”
