Istanbul Store Bans Entry to ‘Jew Dogs’

A store in Istambul posted this sign which bans "Dog Jews" for its shop. Photo: Salom.

A shop in downtown Istanbul, Turkey, posted a sign on its window front announcing that “Jew dogs” are banned from entering, local Jewish newspaper Salom reported.

The discriminatory banner, which was spotted on Thursday, says, “The Jew dogs cannot come in here” and features an image of an Israeli tank.

The store, located in Tahtakale, an area where many Jewish businesses are situated, sells mobile phone accessories.

My dog is from Kentucky and she ain't allowed in stores either. Sorry, couldn't resist. I think it's a terrible thing we used to have the same thing in this country and it led to nothing but trouble. Ooops we still have the same thing in this country only the signs aren't so obvious. It's more subtle like real estate agents only showing black people homes in areas other black people already live and not so many homes in lily white suburbs where they could also afford to live. A guy named Jose changes his name to Joe and magically gets interviews where he had none before.

So it just goes to show you we need to have a world wide dialouge on racism and all the problems it causes world wide and not just the individual and local problems.

It's no wonder this kind of thread gets virtually ignored here. Doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
