No one is supposed to even know or ask where you are from in the first place.

I guess once the restaurant owner hears people speaking .... then what? The restaurant owner identifies where you are from and goes up to them and asks them to leave in the middle of their meal?

Ideally, politics should not mix with tourism. But human beings are emotional and irrational creatures.

A farang asked me where I was from out of nowhere the other day. Why is he so eager to know this above all else? People are all prejudiced. You would be surprised how many Brits and Aussies hate Americans and vice versa out there.

You won't see Brit business owners banning American diners, but it doesn't mean they don't secretly hate you while they bring you your English Breakfast.

I think almost every human being has prejudices and I think that's part of human nature. Whether or not those prejudgments rise to the level of racism and exclusion is a completely different thing. I think it's perfectly acceptable to deny patronage to anyone you like, if it's a private establishment, especially if the person has been known to cause trouble in the past.

Absolutely 100%, I have no problem avoiding establishments that don't want my patronage. I'm very happy to find another alternative. No offense taken whatsoever, and that's how reasonably mature men with thick skin typically react.

How many times has that happened to you ?

How many times have you been a reasonably mature man with thick skin and walked on by after an establishment didn't want your custom ?

So, you fully support signs like this ?

Well I was brought up as a Jew and I've been around Jews my whole life, and there are a remarkable percentage of Jews that buy into this chosen people nonsense.

I loved Jews I have many Jewish friends and and close family members but I think that it's always healthy to admit the shortcomings that some of our people have. Isn't it?

I call BS.

In my experience among Jews including weekend Jewish school, Jewish summer day camp, working for three years in a majority Jewish firm (which was hilarious as many of the Jews there could have been comedians), large family gatherings, bar mitzvahs etc I haven't experienced even one Jew even one time refer to Jews or themselves as chosen.

Instead irs become a cudgel for racist Jew haters.

Many many times. Back in the day I used to go to dance clubs in New York that would cherry pick who they wanted in the club and I was turned down often, many times when I was a single man I would get turned down by women who had no interest, and I could list other occasions too. It really doesn't matter, it's just not a big deal, they don't want you in their establishment you just simply move on.

Only snowflakes and victims would take offense to this.

Not the same thing in any way.

Getting refused entry to nightclubs is rather different .

Its quite common and normal for people to get refused entry to nightclubs if they don't look cool or trendy enough . Geeks aren't allowed into clubs where cool guys hang out .

We are talking about being refused entry based on your religion or Nationality .

How many times have been been refused entry to anywhere based on your Religion or Nationality ?

Etc. etc.

(Message to "progressive" Israel demonizing Jews --- they hate you too.)

So you are not a fan of consistency.

Got it.

Could you clarify ?

Were you just bought up as a Jew or was you born a Jew ?

Jew is passed on from the Mothers side .

You've hit a nerve with that one.

Anyway you can't be a self hating Jew if you're not a Jew.

I don't even know what that question means. I was born a Jew, and I was raised as a Jew.

Some would argue that that gives me just a slight bit of added legitimacy when it comes to questioning extremist Israeli policy and the negative impact that that has on Jews worldwide.

And if you are a Jew and you criticize extremist and genocidal Israeli policy is it reasonable or intelligent to label somebody as self-hating?

It reminds me of the people who criticize me as being hateful of America because I dislike and disrespect Trump and feel that he's a blazing idiot who's incredibly incompetent and who is very damaging to American interests. Or the people who say I hate America because I discuss how low the quality of life has become back there.

Those snarky names sound more like nonsensical, shallow, politically and lobbyist-driven memes to me. Which would be the opposite of independent thinking.

Straw man garbage.

It's your racist Jew hating rhetoric actually.

Not the same thing at all as normal criticism of Israeli government policies

And you guys are so predictable as you try to turn every criticism against Israel’s atrocities into some kind of antisemitism.

Or maybe your lack of humanity and basic compassion prevents you from understanding the reasons why people criticize Israel, always interpreting them as purely driven by antisemitism.

Decent, open-minded, and intelligent human beings are intellectually not capable of hating all Jews.

They might dislike one Jew or a group of Jews because they have been harmed by them or they have seen them harm others, in which case the negative emotion is not caused by them being Jewish, but by their actions.

And you know that, yet you try to label every critic of Israel as dumb, ignorant, and racist, acting out of pure Jew-hate in order to delegitimize the criticism as a racist slur.

Because it’s the only defense you have.

Instead of addressing the accusations, you just ignore them and try to silence those voices who have the decency to speak up for those whose voices cannot be heard as they scream behind the thick walls of your detention and rape facilities, and for those whose voices you have silenced forever—more than 20,000 of them being innocent children.

I wrote down a few of the many accusations Israel is confronted with. You never commented on any of them and instead came up with a pathetic attempt to elicit pity for the likes of you.

So again, stop your pathetic mind gymnastics.

When you're done feeling sorry for yourself and bathing in self-pity, try to understand:

People do not hate Jews because they have power or don’t have power, or because they are rich or poor. People dislike Israel and its repeatedly elected government because:

• They destroy practically every building in a country and call it a search for terrorists.

• They use little children for target practice and call it heroism.

• They steal land and kill people who had absolutely nothing to do with October 7.

• They call themselves the "most moral" army while executing a five-year-old girl who was trapped in a car with her murdered siblings, begging for her life.

• They rape detainees, even train dogs to assault them, and openly debate the "right to rape" in their government while still claiming to be the only democracy in the Middle East

And as if that is not enough, Israel commits all these atrocities, you defend them with your mind gymnastics avoiding any healthy debate and when people are disgusted you really have the audacity to claim that this is only because you are Jewish.

Full victimhood mode!

What a joke! That is so unreal.
