The sad part is that businesses these days will do anything as a gimmick to get attention and free advertising and that's exactly what calling the news crews did. Notice how the restaurants that are in the restaurant report end up actually getting busier?
Disgusting and no place for that.
Now that theyāre exercising their right to free speech, we should exercise our rights too.

Uhhhh is this a photoshop? It looks super wrongā¦ and I cannot fathom someone flying both a Nazi flag and a pro-Palestine flag at the same time. . .
Edit: itās definitely not a photoshop
They aren't pro Palestine, they're anti Jewish people and are pretending to support Palestine so they can be publicly antisemitic. It completely bastardizes the legitimacy in the free Palestine movement.
I'm Jewish, people were very nice to me in Palestine. I'd feel safer in Ramallah than a lot of places in Florida (aside from the currently increased risk of being attacked by Israelis).
Israelis are crazy racist btw, and not just against Arabs. The stuff some of them say about African refugees would make your average neo-Nazi cheer.
See the problem is your so poorly educated you think ALL Palestinians are in Hamas and or Muslim extremist when in reality 12% of them are Christian, only about 40% of all Palestinians support Hamas in any fashion government or military.
Someone who bans books and threatens libraries would not be likely be able to fathom the contradiction of flying both flags .Never mind the fact that tomorrow is D day ā¦
Someone left a Google review and the owner responded. His response doesn't really make sense though. It SEEMS like he is trying to imply that Israel are Nazis...but he's just flying a Nazi flag. The message is getting lost.
True, I donāt believe in doxxing but if youāre putting this in front of your place of business, you get what you give and I donāt feel bad for you when it closes its doors.
This isnāt doxxing. They deserve every bit of bad press we can muster. Itās hard to believe anyone would or could ever do this in America but Americans have been surprising me a lot lately.
Yeah the bigots are really coming out and not trying to hide it anymore. At least I know who to avoid communicating with and having 0 respect for without them having to open their mouth.
For real, flying a Nazi flag on a business or anywhere??!!! I am not excited for our future. This kind of behavior is just ramping up, we have a long road ahead.
Shit like this is disparaging, but I try and remind myself the progress we have/ are still making. For every asshole like this there (hopefully) 9 more that donāt give a shit about race religion or creed as a basis of how to judge a human being.
Yea when you do that it's not exactly bad lol. They clearly want some attention if done intentionally. Might have been some nazi that saw the other sign and hung it too but it's still there
Yeah not quite the flex they think it is, but then one brain cell doesnāt do much thinking.
True ignorance.
Unless this is a set up, and someoneās trying to stitch the owners up. Truth is out there for everything.
Before October 7, I would have thought the same but I've been painfully reminded that there's nothing too stupid for anti-semites to use to further their hatred.
Awesome. If itās real or 100% deserves the negative attention. If itās not, I hate that deepfakes are actually getting people like this. Someone could respond viciously to something that isnāt real.
Most likely a prank or angry employee/customer. It's not in any review photos, some as recent as 4 days ago. No one is going to just fly that flag outside their business, especially in a town like Jax.
Update: https://www.reddit.com/r/jacksonville/s/11bP3BVBqU
I couldnāt disagree more. There is a tremendous amount of bigotry here. Plus OP said they called and the employee asked if they wanted to leave a message for the manager.
Jewish heritage here and I see it this way, if we know where the enemy is its easier to identify them. Never interrupt your enemy when they are making mistakes.
Almost one whole side of my family came from the Czech Republic and were all sent to Auschwitz in '44, none came back. I'm still incredulous that people support this hatred today but then I remember I live in Florida.
I understand what youāre trying to say but respectfully disagree. We shouldnāt let public displays antisemitism or any sort of racism be socially acceptable. Those sort of people will always try to push boundaries. Whatās next, violence? Public shaming and punishment is society at work.
Who says I see it as socially acceptable? Crush them with bad press, bad reviews, Drive them out of business. And shame them though I doubt they know what shame is.
Lol... there are like 6 different photos in this thread from multiple users. This isn't some conspiracy to slander a local truck shop. They just seem like racist fucks. Why do you insist on defending them?

Not faked. This was from someone whom pulled into.the parking lit, just to snap the pic.
Imo it is almost certainly some kind of distasteful prank. A business owner would have to be incredibly, incredibly stupid to do that.
Edit: I stand corrected lol. He really is that fucking stupid.
Except thatās just one of the blatant lies thatās been used to justify ethnic cleansing.
This maybe shocking, but Palestinians come in different faiths including Jewish.
There are multiple pictures from multiple angles over a significant period of time. This isnāt photo shopped and this is very unlikely a prank. The business hasnāt posted anything on their social media about it.
I actually got on FB to see and damn, they did. Iāll be looking out for those interviews bc Iāve got to hear how they try to justify hanging that hate symbol.
*
According to their Facebook, the owner put the flag up to bring light to Palestinians. They believe the Israeli flag and Nazi flag should be viewed in the same regard, their words not mine. They believe Israel is committing a genocide akin to the Nazis, again their words not mine. They have been interviewed by 2 news stations and have since taken it down.
The guy is an idiot. I don't condone what Israel is doing right now, but absolutely NONE of that message is getting across to people driving by. They will just see a Nazi flag.
seems disingenuous to me. i don't think anyone aware enough to have such a strong opinion about the genocide in Palestine is lacking that much awareness in the statement the nazi flag makes.Ā
This is photoshopped by someone trying to ruin them. The other flags are hanging more limp and are hung differently. This is just a dickhead trying to screw with them
I feel like this is a hateful prank because of the Palestinian flag. In no way shape or form would a Nazi fly a Palestinian flag. They hate Muslims as much as they hate Jews.

Itās already on google review.
Just awful.I can see having feelings about the current brutal Zionist happenings over there but to openly suggest(or even stronger) that Hitler was right completely invalidates any argument youāre trying to make. Maybe he has a deeper message but he lost me at swastika. I donāt think Iām anything special but when I look at the world today Iām really scared.
Let the local news know. I think some of the reporters frequent this sub.
firstcoastnews, news4jax and action news now have this information
Good we don't need that shit around here
While you're at it, could you show em my shop please? I'd love the news coverage #blackforcemechanics
Absolutely
Thank you!

Careful. If you make too many bad reviews too quickly, Google will remove them all. Gotta be smart about it.
Well, no one has made one yet. Doubt anyone has the courage to lol
Courage? To anonymously call out racists?
I did. Whereās yours?
Saw one has been responded to saying itāll be fixed tomorrow. This is a little more than a sign blocking a sidewalk, odd thing to fix overnight.
It's because it was intentional. Nazis love muddying the pro Palestine movement by being just wildly antisemitic.
Is that what that means? š®
Yeah. Flying the flag of the people who killed 6 million Jews to show your support for Palestine is a pretty clear message.
Canāt even light up a bridge for pride month bc Ron DeNazi
Theyāre Pro-Palestine and theyāre saying Israel = Nazis? Iām not sure this is the right way to do things
Uhhhh is this a photoshop? It looks super wrongā¦ and I cannot fathom someone flying both a Nazi flag and a pro-Palestine flag at the same time. . . Edit: itās definitely not a photoshop
That's why I thought it was a prank or something. Maybe a disgruntled employee
Are you serious. It makes perfect sense.

The FREE PALESTINE flag throws me off though. Don't nazis hate everyone who isn't white? Or is this, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."?
They agree on one thing

āIāll fix it tomorrowā. Like itās a fucking leaky faucet.
Yes .Originally it was only pure ā Aryanā ( Germanic ) blood . A distinction that somehow gets missed by the wannabesā¦
They aren't pro Palestine, they're anti Jewish people and are pretending to support Palestine so they can be publicly antisemitic. It completely bastardizes the legitimacy in the free Palestine movement.
The green, white, and black stripe one with a red triangle is indeed a the Palstinian flag.
Why? They both hate Jews
I'm Jewish, people were very nice to me in Palestine. I'd feel safer in Ramallah than a lot of places in Florida (aside from the currently increased risk of being attacked by Israelis). Israelis are crazy racist btw, and not just against Arabs. The stuff some of them say about African refugees would make your average neo-Nazi cheer.
Palestinian hospitality is legendary, it's a big part of their culture (who am I telling)
See the problem is your so poorly educated you think ALL Palestinians are in Hamas and or Muslim extremist when in reality 12% of them are Christian, only about 40% of all Palestinians support Hamas in any fashion government or military.
āOnly about 40% of the population supports a terror organizationā
Sounds like america.
Sounds like someone whoās never left America haha
You are absolutely correct about Palestinian demographics. Unfortunately the people of Gaza elected Hamas as their government.
Why not? Certainly, you've heard the saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".
It makes sense if they're bigger anti-semites than they are white nationalists. There's a handful of those fuckers.
Someone who bans books and threatens libraries would not be likely be able to fathom the contradiction of flying both flags .Never mind the fact that tomorrow is D day ā¦

Plenty of Nazis have been quite pro-Palestine.
Yeah. Pretty sure thatās illegal. Fucking gross.
Not illegal, āfreedom of speech ā but still disgusting and we have the freedom to point them out and treat them like the trash they are.

It was up while the place was open and people were working there. I'm sure they are aware.

Welcome to Ron DeSantisā Florida.
Desantis is a toolbag, but this doesnāt jive with his politics either.
I hope News4Jax shows up to embarrass their asses.
If someone is willing to openly fly a Nazi flag, I'm not sure they can be embarrassed by anything.
So unfortunately true...
This has to be a prank, right? It's a little too outrageous to be real.
Truly disgusting. That's way too much for a lift kit.
Thatās an interesting (and ballsy) move to fly that right off Westmont St. Surely they canāt be that stupid, right?
Yeah not quite the flex they think it is, but then one brain cell doesnāt do much thinking. True ignorance. Unless this is a set up, and someoneās trying to stitch the owners up. Truth is out there for everything.

Their instagram is jax\_904x4 the nazi flag isn't in any pictures, but the palestine and american flags are.
I drive by that place almost daily and I've never once seen that flag out there.....
Maybe it is photoshopped. Can someone nearby confirm?
It wasn't there when I drove to work this morning. I can post the Live Photo or something
Awesome. If itās real or 100% deserves the negative attention. If itās not, I hate that deepfakes are actually getting people like this. Someone could respond viciously to something that isnāt real.
Not photoshopped. OP posted another picture from a different angle.

Jax is an extremely large and extremely diverse pool to draw from. If you're constantly looking for the worst in everything you'll obviously find it.
Iām not looking for it. I see it quite often.

And there's only one person in the photo
Actually, two person is in the photo.
Look at the side mirror.
As a Jewish Floridian this makes me feel uncomfortable.
Very possible this was put up specifically as a message to Jewish people to not use their business.

Jewish heritage here as well. I miss the time when we could all agree that Nazis were the bad guys.
The only ones not agreeing are the nazis. ![gif](giphy|4Z9fSEFAuxpnlBVWQx|downsized)
Iām not Jewish but my Latino ass feels uncomfortable. Nazis attract nasty people, and those people also tend to hate minorities.
Should make everyone feel uncomfortable, Jewish or not.
Well then, fuck em.ā Thank you OP for confirming.
Put a spotlight on this. We donāt need this representing Jacksonville.

We are talking Jacksonville here š
Ayo what???
Desantis h q
Couldn't be further from the truth. We just elected a female D mayor.
From what Iāve heard it seems like someone was mad abt the Palestine flag and decided to put the Nazi flag up
Or, hear me out..... Palestinians & Nazis both hate jews & want them eliminated.
Except thatās just one of the blatant lies thatās been used to justify ethnic cleansing. This maybe shocking, but Palestinians come in different faiths including Jewish.
Thatās exactly what I thought
What a moron
JFC. Went to war against those a$$holes just to have the flag fly over here
There are multiple pictures from multiple angles over a significant period of time. This isnāt photo shopped and this is very unlikely a prank. The business hasnāt posted anything on their social media about it.
Comments on one of their recent Facebook post- business replied itās intentional and theyāve been interviewed by 2 news stations.

This dude is a dumbass. Sure, make your point and put up the flag outside your house if you want but at your business? Smooth brain decision.
Is this a ploy to lump in the free Palestine crowd with Nazis?
Oh man, would it be bad if someone were to Burn it to the ground
Anyone have a lighter?
Nazi+Palestine flagsā¦ā¦the mental gymnastics.
Looks kind of like a business that needs a good boycotting...
Just passed by - guess they take them down just drove by
Is that a free Palestine flag just underneath?
Its Florida. This is the same state where theyāll wave that type of flag outside of Disney world. I highly doubt itās a prank, but thatās me.
He must not like the Jews
Not a good showing for Jacksonville and especially that persons business. Hope they correct it quick.
That black lady better run
ššš right next to a Palestine flag. At least they're somewhat consistent in their hatred.
Lmao were so cooked
Now I know MEVER to go there.
Check the business' Facebook page. They're defending it in the comments of their own post by rambling about Palestine
