“I think you make a reasonable case.”

“I don’t think so. His (or her) response has been over the top emotionally and suggests a personal bias that has not been disclosed. I don’t think we have all the facts about the bias yet. Full disclosure would help.”

Sure I’ll try my best to disclose my biases.

1) Feels disgust when misled internet mob smears and destroys innocent people and businesses.

Remember the leading cancer scientist whose career was ended by an internet mob’s false accusations of sexism? How did it make you feel knowing cancer patients may have died because he was forced out on false smears? He was later totally vindicated, but never got his job back.
I’m very skeptical of rushed internet mob justice.

2) Have you ever seen execs throwing their weight around to get employees to break policy as in this case?
It’s not pretty.
But people act out of fear for their jobs and give in.
Perhaps it worked on the rental 2 days prior, to secure a rental without passport...

3) How do you feel about false accusations of racism.
This is an epidemic on the left, and causes large wreckage on individuals and companies.
It’s a gross injustice with serious cost.
Is this something we should reward and encourage?

4) How do you feel about journalistic malpractice.
The author of the first article in observer could have done 20 seconds of research to discover the agent acted totally consistently with company policy in requesting a passport.
Instead the author left implications that the agent and office were refusing to accept the israeli drivers license alone out of pure bigotry and malice.
That’s breathtaking irresponsibility.
And what cost? An internet mob doing huge wreckage.

5) Execs should be held to a higher standard.
Here we have an exec throwing out wild accusations of bigotry, trashing an agent and national company.
He could have taken a deep breath to realize they just followed training and policy. But no, he ran to the press screaming “bigotry!”.

How is that justice. The customer fails to provide requested docs, is totally rude giving them a new reason to refuse the rental, so he responds by wrecking their company and brand with false accusations of bigotry.
So much unfair damage for what — this exec’s ego?

6) Freepers were doing research on the rental agent and publishing details, with the implied hope of causing her real life difficulties. That’s disgusting to me.
This kind of thing is getting all too common on the internet.

7) Freepers are emulating the very worst behaviors and attitudes of the SJW movement.

Just a yes or no answer.

Do you work for Avis or do you have any monetary or other vested interest in the company?

Tell the truth for once.

No, I don't think so. Those are far too general and you have jumped to conclusions. The language you are using is odd.
1. How do you know who is innocent or guilty ? You have made alot of assumptions.
2. You are ignoring the fact that Dov had an AVIS loyalty card with years of no trouble and had in fact rented from the same location only two days prior.
3. Why inject racism into the conversation ? The issue here is an antiIsrael bias. It is real and it is prevalent.
4. What journalistic malpractice are you referring to ?
5. Forget about the Execs for a moment; Christians should be held to a higher standard.
6. The man denied service alleged that the employees deviated from operational policy at that location when he presented his Israeli documents. Why are your instincts with the clerk ? You were not even there to witness the looks and demeanor. Are you denying antiIsrael discrimination exists ?

Freepers are emulating the very worst behaviors and attitudes of the SJW movement.

I don't think that is the issue here. Has something under the surface triggered a strong emotional response ? Is it because it concerns an Israeli ?
