Swiss antisemitism shock at Davos shop sign saying no skis for Jews

Swiss police have opened an investigation into a ski hire shop's announcement it would no longer rent skis and sledges to Jewish customers.

The shop, in the famous resort of Davos, has now reversed its decision. It has taken down the signs, translated into Hebrew, which informed customers of the ban. But many have argued the case is a clear violation of Switzerland's laws against discrimination and incitement to racial or religious hatred. The Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities has launched its own legal action, condemning the signs as clearly discriminatory. Posters in the sports shop window informed customers that, because of incidents, including theft, "we no longer rent sports equipment to our Jewish brothers".

Given the lack of fight from people over most of the world, it may end up worse.

Pushing globalization and faggotry while importing Muslims isn’t working out?

Jewish people get accused of many things, but rampant shoplifting is a novel one.

The store claimed the Jewish guests had been misbehaving, and not returning rentals.

who knows if it is true or not.

Why are the small number of fake Jews trying to hide in the larger population of legitimate Jews we love?

The accusation isn’t shoplifting. They seem to be claiming that Jews are less likely to return rental skis and sledges.

The woman who owns the condo unit above mine was a kid in France during the war.She came to this country after having married an American serviceman in the 1950s. She’s told me many stories...amazing stories...about her early years and one thing she’s made clear is that antisemitism wasn’t just a German thing during the 1940s. It was found in France as well.

You might be on to something there.

And as a side note, a store near me hired an Arab manager about six months ago. I was in the store the other day. Most of the employees are now Arab. That kinda surprised me, given that I live in an old rust-belt mill town.

As Bob Dylan noted, the times they are a-changin’.

Just because the Nazis were defeated in 1945 doesn’t mean the Antisemitism went away at the same time.

There was plenty left over to start a new crop..............

The “our Jewish brothers” certainly sounds like a typical Arab insult of Jews.

Goes back to Issac and Ishmael.

The saying in France before the war was “Better Hitler than Blum”, referring to Leon Blum the then French Socialist Prime Minister, who was also Jewish.
