Ein Hotel in Japan (Tokio) verweigerte einem israelischen Besucher den Zutritt, weil man davon ausging, dass die Person am Gaza-Konflikt beteiligt war.

1. Welll every Israeli citizen does a stint in the IDF so there’s some probability they’ve done an action in Gaza seeing the conflict has actually been going on for decades.

   Obviously discriminatory and unfair for the person involved but I like how it brings attention to the issue. It’s only through Israeli public sentiment that the conflict will stop.

2. All it take is one bad employee to smear hotel’s hard earned reputation.

3. I was quite surprised to hear this story as Japanese people are generally not very political and individual staff members rarely go against procedure, even if they have moral objections.

   Looking at the google reviews, all the mentions of the staff have non-Japanese names. The Japanese reviews mention that the staff were foreigners (but could speak good Japanese).

   So it seems like whoever did this was probably not Japanese and maybe had a personal connection to the war in Gaza.

   This sort of crap is unacceptable. No matter who you discriminate against.

4. That’s very taboo for Japan
