"Did you hear of Hertz car rental company demanding to have
its logo and name scrubbed out of [British] advertising linking it to Israel?" Eva Smagacz writes. "I think the battle to discuss Israel without fear of loss of job
and reputation is beginning to be won in Europe. Predicted anti-Semitic backlash is not happening (but it’s
early days yet so I’m apprehensive)." From the Independent:
The world's largest car hire firm last night called on the Israeli
airline EL AL to withdraw an internet advert which offered free Hertz
rental to British passengers who flew to to Israel to show their
"solidarity" with the country, The Independent has learnt.
..The adverts, running on EL AL's website, stated: "Now, more than ever is
the time to come to Israel.
Here, alas, is a story about a rise in anti-Semitic attacks in England.
Update. Boy did I get that wrong! Apologies to readers. The last link is not a story just about anti-semitic attacks, but attacks by Zionists on other Jews for pro-Gaza solidarity! Apologies.
