Hate hurled at Bronx deli

-

A BRONX deli owner says he’s not letting messages of hate stop him from expanding.

“My family has been in this business almost 50 years,” Faud Masireh told the Daily News. “We’ve dealt with worse.”

Masireh, 34, found “ARABS KEEP OUT” was scrawled in white marker on the front door of his Ampere Ave. property at noon on Sunday, cops said.

The Yemeni-born store owner says he is renovating the Throgs Neck deli to put in an upscale market.

“Our neighbors have been welcoming,” he said, surprised. “We’re bringing something to improve the neighborho­od.” The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigat­ing.
