The wrath of the Jewish community and the Israeli embassy was caused by the decision of a pizzeria owner in the German city of Frick, in the state of Bavaria, to prohibit all Israeli customers entering all Israeli customers, in protest of the Gaza Strip war.

At the door of a shop was hanging a sign that read: “Israeli citizens are not welcome here.”

An image of the poster, which was located at the entrance of the store, was released on social media.

“We believe that children of this world should not be harmed under any circumstances,” he wrote. “We are part of the civil society and therefore we will not remain in the way like the rest of the world. So we decided to protest. Our protest has no politician, let alone racist, character. “

“Israeli citizens are not welcome in this store,” he continued. “Of course, they will be welcome again as soon as they decide to open their eyes, ears and hearts.”

Reactions

According to the Times of Israel, the local Jewish community denounced the movement as “a return to the anti -Semitism of Nazi Germany”. For its part, the Israeli embassy in Berlin said the move was showing a return in the 1930s.

“This is not a protest, no misunderstanding. It is a clear anti -Semitism. So it started then: step by step, signboard. Police, prosecutors and courts must act. Jewish life must be safe and visible in Germany – everywhere, always, “she said in her post.

The owner of the store, recognized by the Israeli Agency Ynet as Pizza Zulu, confirmed in the media that he had placed a poster that banned entry into the Israelis, but insisted that he had no intention of being anti -Semitic and offensive.

Indeed, he was surprised by the mass reaction caused and lowered the sign after 3 hours.
