A jury determined Wednesday that the owner of the Hotel Shangri-La discriminated against Jews during a charity event in July 2010. The owner reportedly yelled "Get the [expletive] Jews out of my pool!" and forced the party to pack up and leave

It's interesting to note that, despite all the propaganda to the contrary, the Jews suffer the greatest number of hate crimes in the US - 67% of all religiously motivated hate crimes, as opposed to only 11% against Muslims (http://www.care2.com/news/member/296771588/3440421)

Sorry, the source for the statistics on hate crimes is at: http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/upload/wysiwyg/center%20publication%20pdfs/Bias_Crimes_Data/Summary%20Charts%20%28end%20of%20original%20workbook%29.xls

In this type of case it is rather nice to see that the hotel owner will have a substantial compensation bill to pay along with much unwanted publicity.

Antisemitism is now hiding under hate of Israel under the guise of "protecting human rights of poor Palestinians". There was no wall between Israel and West Bank until Arafat started intifada and Israeli citizens were blown up to pieces in buses and cafes of Israel. 73% of those "poor Palestinians" have a goal to annihilate Israel, and Israel is supposed to "negotiate" peace with these haters?

Zionism is a liberation movement of the Jewish people, thus anybody who is anti-Zionist is against Jews, but is hiding under the guise of political correctness. This is not surprising to have a Pakistani Muslim being anti-Semitic since Koran and Hadith writings are virulently anti-semiotic and it has nothing to do with what Jews or Israel does or does not do.

9/11 also is an attack by the Saudi Islamists that has nothing to do what Americans do or don't as is well explained by Matthias Kunzle in his book Jihad and Jew-Hatred: Islamism, Nazism and the Roots of 9/11 (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fde.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMatthias_K%25C3%25BCntzel).

This is not surprising since we have Barak Hussein Obama extolling Koran and Islam while dissing Bible and helping CAIR and OIC white wash Islam as a "peaceful religion", which is total bumk as anybody who had read Koran and Hadith and history of JIhad KNOWS!

Pakistan has no Jews left and most Muslim majority countries have almost no Jews left, but yet they are virulent Jew haters because that is taught by Koran and Hadith. This hotel owner is just a regular Muslim who was brainwashed just as Obama was in Indonesia when he lived with his Marxist Muslim stepfather.

I see from the hotel menus they have no aversion to serving bacon/ham to the infidel-wonderful how bacon becomes a hate crime if muslims are not profiting from it--- just a thought

I'll bet they serve alcohol, too.

This is especially despicable because it happened here in So. California, which is an especially diverse part of the nation and which has a HUGE Jewish community. Trust me...this will NOT be good publicity for that hotel! We don't tolerate anti-Semites here.

Now, I expect we'll see the DEFENDERS OF ISLAM show up to deny everything by making counter-claims of victimhood.

Interesting that people like dotty mayer, just carole, the pillow and abdesalam are not here condemning this appalling anti-Semitism. Could be it is because they agree with it?

Justice prevailed. Good for them. Interesting about the bacon and alcohol.

Anti-semetism escalating the way it is - it is good to hear that this discriminatory act warranted a conviction.....wonders will never cease.

anti-semitism seems to be turning into an almost mainstream form of racism, it's becoming so prevalent. i wonder if that's why so many throw their closet anti-semitic views out into view, such as this hotel owner.
keeping that in mind, does anyone really think this will have a negative effect on the hotel?

As Islamists have so greatly succeeded in getting people to believe they are "victims", they believe that most of the U.S. is "with" them, so they can get away with it. We will see much more of this.

Unlike what Liberal Left Jews often do: cower in the corner and hope appeasement and condemnation of Israel will placate the Muslims. This is not what it's about.

The Quran and Hadiths make it clear that Muslims will forever hate and kill Jews until they believe they do as Moh and Allah said, to make war until every one is dead.

This is the one small part of the Islamists bringing their fanatical hatred here to the U.S., to hate Jews and followed closely on its heels by christian hatred.

These are only the opening rounds.

Am I surprised? NO
Am I disgusted? YOU BET.
Just imagine the outcry if this happened to a Muslim function.
Hope they close this dump down.

What we wonder is why even own a public hotel if you don't want certain people to stay there are use the facilities? We presume with this attitude they wouldn't want LGBT people there either. Apparently making money off infidels in general is OK though. Hmmm, hopefully a bigoted place like this will lose all of its decent visitors now and be bought by people who treat all people with respect.
