Question
What can be done to stop or if needed to protest Arabs working and also
buying as customers at one (or possibly more) of the Jerusalem MisterZol
Supermarket? This is supposed to be Eretz Yisrael.
Answer
I am unaware of a halachic reason to ban Arabs or other gentiles from supermarkets. It is, of course, important to have adequate security in all public areas.
