Unfortunately, anti-Semitism is ‘alive and well’ in France.

Via Times of Israel:

The governor of greater Paris has asked state prosecutors to investigate claims of anti-Israel discrimination after French media reported that two prominent cultural institutions, including the Louvre art museum, recently turned away a group of visiting Tel Aviv University students….

Last month, art history professor Sefy Hendler contacted the reservations departments at the world-famous museum and at Sainte-Chapelle Cathedral to book guided tours for a group of 12 students who are scheduled to visit Paris in late June. According to a report in Haaretz Monday, he was quickly turned away by both for lack of room, despite trying to make a booking on three separate dates….

After being turned away, the professor contacted the Louvre and Sainte-Chapelle again, and attempted to make reservations using false names of educational institutions from Italy and Abu Dhabi, on the same dates he had requested originally.

Shortly after, both institutions responded to Hendler that space was available on his requested dates….

    This is going to get worse as time goes on….and it will soon spread to the U.S. Not just the crazies who have always been here, but to mainstream institutions. Mark my words…..

    In more positive Israel related news; NBA regular season MVP, Stephen Curry, of the Golden State Warriors who just led his team to the NBA Championship over the Cleveland Cavaliers with LeBron James, has a tattoo in Hebrew. His wife has the same tattoo. They got them following his mother’s trip to Israel five years ago where she had a spiritual awakening. http://www.timesofisrael.com/golden-states-curry-has-hebrew-tattoo/
