The Palestinian laundromat. Shockingly, the #West has framed #antisemitism and #anti-Zionism as #conscience itself...
When your neighbor gives you dirty looks because Iinstalled a backyard clothesline, then their dryer breaks and they’re hauling it all to the laundromat… I’m just sitting here not saying a word but thinking, the irony…
And, if I recall correctly, it plays a big part in The Laundromat from Steven Soderbergh.
And everyone should watch The Laundromat. 🤷♀️

Comments
(US, Canada, Australia) A self-service laundry facility with (traditionally) coin-operated (which now may use other per-load payment methods) washing machines, dryers, and sometimes ironing or pressing machines, open to the public for washing clothing and household cloth items.
In Virginia, gone are the weekly outings to Walmart to stock up on provisions; to El Ranchito, the Mexican convenience store, to buy shell-shaped concha pastries; and to the laundromat to machine wash heavily soiled garments.
