Seeing a lot of tweets suggesting she's making this up but I don't think that's quite it; more likely these stories are "true" but crucial, unflattering details have been omitted or misconstrued, not necessarily by Bari but by whoever she's hearing from.
There's a slide from "because they are Jewish" to "because they are Zionists," which in turn could easily mean "because they keep ranting about how Israel has to destroy its enemies"—which, if that were the case, would be a valid reason to find a new hairdresser IMO
Wait, I think in Bari's scenario it's the customers who are the persecuted Zionists, not the hairdressers.
Well, I think a big reason people are amused here is the idea of hairdressers and trainers -- in this economy -- giving up work in order to vent on behalf of the Palestinians.
the wildest part is that it is likely the zionists, unprompted, venting about palestinians to service workers in the first place, otherwise, how would one immediately know someone is fine with genocide unless they start talking about it? 
The whole scenario is difficult to fathom just on a human level -- leaving all ideology to one side.
“first, before you touch my scalp, let’s discuss this ongoing geopolitical occupation and conflict. just to keep things light
”
I make it a point never to discuss Israel/Palestine with someone holding scissors.
Or any other irrelevant and controversial issue—right? If only we could all stick to talking about the weather!
