Israeli tourists rejected in a B&B in the Belluno area, Digos investigates

"You can stay in the gas ovens" is the phrase addressed to a family who wanted to stay in San Vito di Cadore. Zaia's sentence: "Unacceptable act of hate"

BOLOGNA – Anything but Italian hospitality… in the Belluno Alps, in San Vito di Cadore, a family with three children was rejected by a bed & breakfast, complete with anti-Semitic phrases and insults. The case, raised by an Israeli website, Ynetnews.com, and reported by the local Italian press, even ended up under the scrutiny of Digos, the General Investigations and Operations Division special forces of the State Police and the Postal Police.

A manager of a B&b would in fact have canceled the booking of his Airbnb apartment, via the dedicated platform, for an Israeli family, with a response to the effect of “You can stay in your oven at gas’, even written with Hebrew characters with the use of the translator. The author of the words that refer to the Nazi extermination is still unknown, since he signed only as “Lorenzo” and the booking platform effectively allows partial anonymity. , but the investigations continue

The president of the Veneto Region Luca Zaia also intervened to condemn the gesture: “While waiting to be able to know more details about what happened – he writes in a note – I want to express profound indignation and firm condemnation for an extremely serious act, if the published news were confirmed. In the meantime, I express my solidarity with the Israeli family who was the victim of this anti-Semitic episode which occurred in San Vito di Cadore Israeli tourists, represents an unacceptable act of hatred and discrimination which hurts not only the dignity of the people involved, but also the fundamental values of our community”.
