A newly opened bar in Salt Lake City is under scrutiny by state officials after announcing on social media that it would implement a “no Zionists allowed” policy. “As many are, we are horrified by the ongoing genocide in Gaza and are even more horrified to see so many Americans ignore and rationalize ethnic cleansing. That is why we are pleased to announce we are banning all zionists forever from our establishments,” the Weathered Waves bar posted on Instagram.
“Zionism is hate speech. It is white supremacy and has nothing to do with the beautiful Jewish faith,” the bar said. Its owner, former mayoral candidate Michael Valentine, responded to backlash by stressing that “we are banning zionists, not Jews.”
But many accused the bar of thinly veiled antisemitism, arguing that the term “Zionist” could be used against any Jewish person who supports their homeland. Amid growing outrage this week, the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services, which had just given the bar its license on Feb. 29, turned to the state Attorney General’s Office requesting “an investigation on whether the business is violating discrimination laws,” the department said in a statement Wednesday.
It said the department is also reviewing its own “legal options for responding to discrimination at DABS licensed establishments.”

They have bars in Salt Lake City...?
Our government, many colleges and numerous corporations have a “no whites policy”.....Just saying...
“If you go to the bathroom, and they have a tiny camera in the urinal to see if you’re circumscribed or not!”
That might work in Europe but not in the US where many if not most non Jews are circumsized.
So, there’s a questionnaire/lie detector test before entering the bar?
Such immature stupidity.
Never mind-—they’re banning whites. That’s okay though....
“Valley tan (or, at least, one form of valley tan) is a kind of whisky, or first cousin to it; is of Mormon invention and manufactured only in Utah. Tradition says it is made of (imported) fire and brimstone. If I remember rightly no public drinking saloons were allowed in the kingdom by Brigham Young, and no private drinking permitted among the faithful, except they confined themselves to “valley tan.”
Brigham Young owned a distillery in Southern Utah and sold it in the church owned ZCMI stores, “ for medicinal purposes only”.
I didn’t know my lawyer’s firm shares a building with Zionists!
Utah has a huge population of leftist freaks mostly near the UofU. Rainbow and BLM flags around.
I love it when your enemies identify themselves.
I’m a heathen that supports Israel’s right to not only exist, but to fight back with ALL means necessary against the evil that is trying to wipe them out.
Does that make me a “Zionist”?
”If you currently belong to a different political party (I.e. Democrat, Green, etc), then do NOT come to the meeting - you are not love to vote with us in the Republican Caucus….”
It may have been as you described previously; but not anymore
Yet.
Well said - don’t need any help.....
“”They have bars in Salt Lake City...?””
That was my first thought. Only been there once for a weekend conference and didn’t see any OR expect any..
Yes. It also makes you a wise person.
I wear a fedora, and the only chick I care about noticing me is my wife. She has bought me fedoras.
I’m jewish, and I’m a zionist.
Ok. Ok then.
And thank you for the compliment. :-)
Absolutely. Plenty of restaurants have liquor licenses too. Beer at Basketball, baseball and hockey games, etc. There’s not much club life, true. But no one has yet successfully kept humans from getting smashed.
There are certain gents that wear a fedora well like Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney. Then there are people like this bar owner schlump whose fedora looks like a desperate attempt to garner favor with women.
