Breads Bakery employees unionize, call for end to Jewish Israeli owners’ ‘support for the genocide in Gaza’

JL;DR SUMMARY Employees at Breads Bakery, a prominent New York-based Israeli bakery chain, have organized a union named 'Breaking Breads', demanding an end to the company's support for Israel. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
