GENEVA — Switzerland's tourism office on Tuesday decried an "unfortunate" incident in which a small Alpine hotel posted a sign asking "Jewish guests" to shower before swimming in the hotel pool.
Swiss hotel sign for 'Jewish Guests' to shower before using pool draws scorn - StarTribune.com

Isn't this anti-Semitic ?
This is also pure hateful and full of resentment to all the followers of a faith.

What do you guys think?

my first thought was this has to be some kind of swiss-to-english google translate F-up ( "cherished" came up "jewish" or similar scenario) but ....... it looks to be straight up anti-semitism.

Europeans are just as much anti-Semites and racists as anyone else on the planet. Some places even more so. I find it funny that the perpetually offended Left love Europe. Hell, they even love the hell out of Germany, but there is still a HUGE Nazi faction in Germany.

A representative of the hotel explained why she posted the sign:

It's curious the sign was posted in English.
