A Uruguayan hotelier rejected an Israeli couple as guests, saying he disagrees with Israeli politics, the Israel National News website reports today (January 14, 2018).
Amit Bradush, 22, and his partner received a personalized email message from the hotelier explaining their reservation had been canceled because his political view was "very contrary to the policies of your country."
"They are not welcome in my house," Buena Vista ecological resort's owner Mauricio Pinero wrote, saying that the pre-payment had been reimbursed. He added that young Israeli guests who are on their post-army trek are particularly difficult.
Jewish and Israeli officials have criticized the discriminatory action, which drew intense media coverage in Uruguay -- the first country in South America to officially recognize Israel as an independent nation.
