A top Jewish group in Switzerland slams antisemitic poster purportedly by a local ski rental stand
Switzerland’s main Jewish organization has denounced an antisemitic sign put up at a local ski shop near Davos, barring Jews from renting equipment from the store.
This is a ski shop that posted a sign saying they won't do business with Jews, due to a Jewish person stealing a sled.
Replace 'Jew' with any other ethnic group here and it's clearly not okay, but I'm sure other commenters will make an exception.
where did it say a Jew stole the sled?
Slammin'
Were they playing pogs? Y'all remember pogs, right?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
GENEVA (AP) — Switzerland’s main Jewish organization on Monday denounced an antisemitic sign put up at a local ski shop near Davos, barring Jews from renting equipment from the store.
The sign on Pischa Mountain above Davos, a town known for hosting the annual World Economic Forum meeting of global elites each January, said the shop would no longer rent gear such as sleds, skis and snowshoes to “our Jewish brothers” after a series of “very annoying incidents” — including the theft of a sled.
The message, written in Hebrew, appeared to be directed at Israeli Jews who have been traveling to Davos in growing numbers in recent years — both for summertime and wintertime holiday getaways.
“After a series of annoying incidents, including the theft of a sled, we are no longer renting out sporting equipment to our Jewish brothers,” said the sign, put on a window at a counter with helmets sitting on a shelf in the back.
Kreutner initially said the federation planned legal action for alleged violation of Swiss anti-racism laws, but said it would likely defer to a regional prosecutor who was looking into the matter.
The incident comes against a backdrop of rising antisemitism across Europe and beyond, largely in connection with the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip that has killed more than 28,300 Palestinians in the territory, according to the Health Ministry in the Hamas-run enclave.

Collective punishment is a war crime
[adding:] ... isn't it ironic, don't you think...
Is Switzerland at war with the Jews?
Looks like that shop owner is.
You're right Israel is engaging in war crimes against the Palestinians. This however ain't it chief.
So Israeli Jews can be dicks to others without repercussions but no one can call them out on their bullshit? Gotcha
What about Switzerland Jews don't you understand?
Israeli tourists behaving badly.

Did the article say the annoying events were because of anything the Jews did? It does seem to indicate that antisemitism has been rising across Europe since October 7th. It also appears to be spreading to this thread.
Trotzdem bleibt er dabei, dass die jüdischen Gäste oft ihre Schlitten stehen lassen und nicht zurückbringen. „Wir wollen den täglichen Ärger nicht mehr und machen darum von unserem Recht Gebrauch, zu entscheiden, wer unser Eigentum mieten kann und wer nicht.“
For everyones sanity, just google it next time. The owner says in another article about it that several jewish customers did not return the sleds after renting them but just abandoned them when they were done sledding. Renting and not returning something constitutes theft.
