(JTA) Bloggers published a video on YouTube Friday showing an employee of the Netherlands’ largest supermarket chain laughing as a man wearing a kippah walks by.
The Albert Heijn chain dismissed the footage Tuesday as a misunderstanding.
The bloggers, who run the Bondgenoten YouTube channel, filmed the reactions of passersby to one of them wearing a kippah. At the supermarket near a heavily Muslim part of Utrecht, a worker laughs as the blogger walks past them. A security guard asks, “What are you doing?” The employee replies: “Mocking.”
An Albert Heijn spokesperson wrote on Twitter than “the employees shared an internal joke” before the blogger walked in.
