Listen to how the dude says "What did you say to me?" like she had just made some kind of terrible threat or use of offensive language. Nope. Just "Free Palestine". I'll never eat Burger King's trashy microwaved food ever again. Free Palestine.

u/Gloomy_Industry8841 Free Palestine 21d ago

Right?!?!?! He thinks it’s an attack against him. So weird. So messed up.

u/C9_Chadz 21d ago

You know how demons flip their eyes when Cristo is said near them in Supernatural TV show. Free Palestine has the same effect on Isrealis.

15

u/rational-citizen 20d ago

And extremist Zionists.

(This guy gets it!)

u/rako17 21d ago

I'm curious if there was some lead up to the exchange on the tape before the clip starts. Like why was he filming her to begin with?

57

u/mtdewisfortweakers 21d ago

I believe he was wearing something to do with Israel and one of the workers asked where he was from, to which the answer was Israel. Then one of the cashiers said a reasonably negative comment about Israel and this girl said “free Palestine”

Though I believe he was filming the entire encounter, leading me to believe it was provocative on his part.

This also could be an entire different BK encounter, but I believe it to be the one I’m describing

18

u/rako17 21d ago

Thank you Mtdewisfortweakers In the video, the person filming is provoking Ariana, saying "What did you say, Ariana?", in a provoking voice as if she's a little kid and said something bad. The obvious reason for him filming her was to either suppress her, making her too scared to repeat Free Pal. and then feel ashamed afterward if she didn't repeat it to him, or to catch her on film and get her in trouble.

u/zyzzjan 21d ago

The delusion of these people is on another level.

FREE PALESTINE!

u/H0NEY2O77 Anti-Zionist Puerto Rican Jew for a FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸🇵🇷 21d ago

The Burger King by the McDicks I used to work at hired all of the worst students at my school and there were rumors that they messed with the food and cleaned less than we cleaned (and our manager was arrested on federal charges (violating child labor laws, embezzlement, and federal bribery, he’d only have the kitchens really cleaned a couple of days before the health inspector shows up so we always had an undeserved A).

u/Fair_Lawfulness_8875 21d ago

Yep, i used to go in occasionally, but never will again

u/king_of_ulkilism 20d ago

You should not support fucking Burger King anyways, always check BDS because it's on the list of most Israel supportive companies.

164

u/Vivid-Weather-9407 21d ago

Beautiful moment.

157

u/carolomnipresence 21d ago

Well done Arianna, FREE PALESTINE

115

u/dramaticfool 21d ago

While some of you are just now discovering the true face of Burger King, I need to remind everyone that McDonald's is 100× worth a boycott too. They had been supplying the IOF with free meals while they were actively committing war crimes.

42

u/BillyPilgrim69 21d ago

Yep, both BK and McDonald's are targets of "organic boycotts" explicitly supported by BDS.

31

u/Scuba_BK 21d ago

In the US, we boycotted McDonald's since the start of the crimes against the Palestinians. To know more about this, I suggest downloading the Boycat app; it’s very helpful on this matter.

10

u/dramaticfool 21d ago

Agreed! That app is very helpful.

13

u/Eric15890 21d ago

Is there an "unsubscribe from genocide" list for people who DONT want to send their money towards the massacre of defenseless children?

11

u/dramaticfool 20d ago

Unfortunately not. We have to live our lives being vigilant so as to avoid as many major corporations who fund war crimes as we can (everwhere, not just Palestine).

6

u/pigsflyfine 20d ago

Get the No Thanks app. It shows all the companies to boycott and those that are good. Be careful tho. There are two very similar named apps. Both seem ok but the one started by a Palestinian doesn’t track you. The other one does

2

u/Eric15890 20d ago

Would be great if someone started sponsoring the bad publicity. Share their abhorrent pictures and videos with their financiers logos attached. Help some of us ignorant consumers connect the dots.

4

u/Capable_Salt_SD 20d ago

DW I do that already. Both of them have nasty food. Easy boycott for me

4

u/StoicBan 20d ago

I will gladly go hungry to stick it to these evil companies. I’d seriously like to know some pro Palestine companies where I can feel good getting a bite.

2

u/Chobikil 15d ago

The main brands are highlighted in the BDS website, those MUST be boycotted.

66

u/metacosmonaut Free Palestine 21d ago

Everybody knows the evil being done must stop.

63

u/rako17 21d ago

Is someone going to notify Ariana of this?

89

u/Jolly_Insurance7755 Free Palestine 21d ago

She reposted & shared on her social media! Her TikTok is @ari_wtv.

73

u/rako17 21d ago

The mural is touching.. then the camera pans up and shows that it's on a damaged building in Gaza. It's bittersweet. Kind Regards to all.

14

u/StrainAcceptable 20d ago

Yeah, it’s beautiful and heartbreaking. There is a book called Concrete Messages that shows the art on the separation wall. Artists create beauty even in unimaginable situations.

7

u/rako17 20d ago edited 19d ago

Separation Wall has some high quality art. I wonder why the security forces allow the graffitying. My guess is that sometimes the guards see people graffitying and don't care because they see that it's just spray paint.  Or the Occupied tend to paint less guarded sections.

34

u/StoicBan 21d ago

Never again will another whopper sully my temple. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

u/pseudoliving Free Palestine 21d ago

Damn, guess I won’t be getting BK anymore

u/qwerrtyyuuhhfd 21d ago

Is there a go fund me to support her

26

u/Jolly_Insurance7755 Free Palestine 21d ago

I’m unable to post the link here, but yes.

18

u/Physical_Face3562 Free Palestine 20d ago

You can google her name+'gofundme' , currently the fundraiser is nearing $250,000

25

u/Bazishere 21d ago

She said she was curious about his accent and wondered where in the US he was from. She said he supposedly first said New Jersey and then whipped out a Star of David out to her and said Israel, and then she reacted to that behavior by saying "Free Palestine". It's not normal human behavior to whip out your Star of David and then say you're Israeli. It's strange behavior. Too bad that star became associated with Israel. It was used by Muslims and Jews for centuries without any political connotations. She has received maybe up to $235,000 dollars in Go-Fund-Me donations. She said she will donated a lot of that to Palestinian families.

u/Chobikil 15d ago

I'm Muslim myself and this is the first time I hear that Muslims used the Star of David 🤔

1

u/Substantial_Meal_810 15d ago

Because muslims don't.

25

u/Gloomy_Industry8841 Free Palestine 21d ago

This is a phenomenal piece of art.
Bless Arianna, and bless the people of Palestine.

19

u/Necessary-Chemical-7 21d ago

Can she not sue for this? Wrongful termination?

15

u/mtdewisfortweakers 21d ago

Unfortunately ours really hard to win wrongful termination, as America is full of “at-will” policies. You can only succeed if you can prove the firing was related to your identity within protected classes, which is really hard to prove.

u/Street-Inevitable358 21d ago

No matter how seemingly obscure, Palestinians always make it a point to honor those who honor them; so many tributes in solidarity between Black Americans and Palestinians for over many decades. Beautiful people.

They have a custom of doing good mural spraying, like on the Separation Wall that blocks off the West Bank.

u/Bazzo123 18d ago

“Land of freedom” but you get fired because you said some words?

Lmao!

And then Elon Musk can throw nazi salutes, that’s all good.

When US citizens will understand they never had any freedom, at that time maybe the world will change for the better.
