Instagram Tried to Silence Us. They Failed. — 04.24.25

After a wild week of fighting with the Instagram team… I’M BACK!!! 💪💪💪

It was a total rollercoaster… My account was only reinstated after I seriously threatened to go to the media; honestly, it was infuriating to get brushed-off and strung-along for a week. When a mass-reporting campaign by anti-semites leads to an unjust ban, and that ban is upheld, that’s not just poor moderation, that’s complicity.

And it’s completely stupid!!

The story was so absurd I went to the media anyway 😅 — I ended up featured in this week’s edition of The Jewish Standard!! Check it out on pages 8–10:

Here’s what these anti-semitic, pro-Palestinian trolls fail to understand:

When you attack the pro-Israel community, we don’t submit. We strengthen. And we unite. 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

The community of Iron Dome Coffee unites firmly against their vulgarity.

I thank you all for supporting both Iron Dome Coffee and myself in such loud fashion — we’ve received over 100 orders this week alone! Not bad for a company less than two months old 😉.

And finally, please join me in welcoming Maya, our very first Iron Dome intern! Maya is a senior at The Leffell School (formerly Solomon Schechter) — the same high school I attended — and I’m incredibly excited to have her on the team.

Here’s to more coffee, more strength, and more unity.

P.S. — I randomly met Matt Bennett at a coffee shop this week! He played Robbie Shapiro in the show Victorious, and it turns out that he's half-Jewish in real life too!
