Is this antisemitic or am I a Jewish Karen?

On Thursday I went to a local grocery store, it's a chain in 3 states. I was almost done shopping when I heard a few employees hanging out near a register saying something about, "it was made in Israel, I was disappointed, disgusted."

I was upset because don't do that shit on the clock in front of customers and also thanks for the anti Israel hate. I reported it to the team lead who seemed a bit caught off guard and didn't say anything but was kind.

I was still upset. I emailed corporate with a factual account of what happened. I received a call today from a manager.

Her immediate response didn't address my complaint. She said that she knew the employees and had talked to them. She said that she thought they were sad because they had seen a new story in the break room that day about all the dead children and that their feelings were hurt. She maintained that for a few minutes before I acknowledged that dead children suck obviously and could we get back to my complaint?

At that point I didn't feel right about the call and maintained the comments in question were hurtful, hateful, and inappropriate. She repeated that she was sorry multiple times and nothing else. I didn't expect her to move mountains but I did expect a corporation to take more accountability. Moreover the most important part, and the most disturbing part, was her saying that the dead children had made her employees sad and had hurt their feelings which was why they acted that way.

It felt like it's justification to hate on Israel in a retail setting and in front of the general public because,"the dead children." And it's also offensive because it assumes that people who do support and understand Israel don't give a crap about dead children.

My concern is if I am a Karen jew? Should I continue to pursue this and run this up the flagpole. Am I making something out of nothing? I can't tell anymore and I would appreciate any and all comments and perspectives.

It's reddit so you already know what the responses are gonna look like

Really unfortunate phrasing

Most !nooticers feel the same way. We might have just solved climate change.
