In the Bavarian town of Lam there was a scandalous incident about anti-Semitic subtext. Israeli tourist, who tried to book a room at the hotel "Zum Hirschen" via Booking.com, received an open refusal with racist justification.
In a message sent to the client, it says: "Sorry, Jews are not welcome at our hotel".
The incident occurred a few days ago. After the case was reported, the hotel was immediately removed from the Booking.com platform and the Munich General Prosecutor's Office initiated a suspicion investigation incitement to hate.
Hotel reaction
The hotel's owners explain the great frustration caused by a series of false reservations that have plagued them for months. They admitted that the message was sent by one of the employees and called it "a stupid mistake" and "a wrong reaction". They apologized to the injured Israeli and invited him and his family to stay for a free week.
Even though I'm sorry, things aren't quiet. Israeli Consul General in Munich Talya Lador publicly asked: "Are we back to the 1930s?".
Acute reactions
German politicians and Jewish organizations also referred to the case. The Bavarian Government’s anti-Semitism Plenipotentiary and the Central Jewish Union in Germany stressed that such wording is absolutely unacceptable and cannot be justified by any circumstances.
The case has provoked great outrage in both Germany and Israel, reopening the debate on growing anti-Semitism in Europe.
What do you think? Is this "just a stupid employee mistake" or a symptom of a deeper problem and anti-Semitism?
Jews are terrorists and criminals. And these are FACTS, not anti-Semitism, you philosemic ebana urvo.
Correct!
