Bingo Wholesale calls itself the Kosher Costco. On Sunday morning, according to community reports, a man walked its aisles shouting "Kill all the Jews."
The account, first published by 5 Towns Central and amplified by community activist Moshe Spern, says the man moved through the crowded Inwood store miming rifle fire while shouting "Free Palestine," "Kill Israel" and "Heil Hitler." A mother shopping with her young daughter was left shaken. Several other shoppers reported the same thing. Police and the Rockaway Nassau Safety Patrol responded.
Where this happened matters
Bingo is not a store that happens to have Jewish customers. It is a Jewish store. It opened in the former Stop & Shop at Burnside Commons in early 2024 as a kosher discount wholesaler, a subsidiary of Israeli supermarket chain Osher Ad, built to serve the Orthodox families of the Five Towns and Far Rockaway. On a Sunday morning, the aisles are mothers, children and strollers.
So a man who walks in and shouts "Kill all the Jews" did not stumble into an audience. He picked the one room on Burnside Avenue where nearly everyone in earshot was the target of the sentence.
Words plus a gun gesture
Shouting slogans is mostly protected speech in America, including ugly ones. Shouting "Kill all the Jews" at Jews while pantomiming a rifle is a different thing. New York's menacing and harassment statutes reach conduct meant to put people in fear of physical injury, and under Penal Law § 485.05, those offenses become hate crimes when the victims were selected because of their religion. Choosing a kosher supermarket full of Orthodox families is about as clear a selection as the law ever gets.
Whether any of that applies here depends on what police and Bingo's cameras actually recorded. That is the record that needs to come out.
What we don't know yet
As of filing, there is no police statement. Inwood is unincorporated Nassau County, so the case belongs to the Nassau County Police Department's Fourth Precinct, not the NYPD. We do not know whether the man was detained, identified, arrested or released, or whether a hate crime investigation has been opened. We have not seen video of him.
The Hate Record is seeking comment from the Nassau County Police Department, Bingo Wholesale, the Rockaway Nassau Safety Patrol and 5 Towns Central, and will update this record as answers come in.
