Israeli visitors are tagged differently from other guests at a five-star resort in Rhodes, Greece Israel’s Channel 10 reported on Sunday.
According to the report, the plastic wrist bands given to guests at
the Imperial Hotel – to enable them unlimited entrance to the spa and
other facilities – are color-coded (in blue) only for customers from the
Jewish state.
When asked about this procedure, a representative of the hotel told
the network’s Orly Vilnai and Guy Meroz that the colors simply identify
the country of the guest’s origin. However, an investigation into the
matter by the TV duo revealed that this was not the case – and that only
Israelis were given a specific color to wear, while tourists from
various European countries were given bracelets of all colors.
An Israeli airline adviser said he was unaware of this practice.
“When it happens and everyone keeps quiet, nothing changes,” said Yehuda Zafrani. “This story has to be told.”
