Anche il Club Med deve sottostare all’odio antisraeliano delle autorità libanesi
Beirut, 13 Aprile 2010 – Il Club Med impedirebbe non solo a chiunque abbia un passaporto israeliano, ma anche a tutti i non israeliani che hanno un visto o timbro israeliano sul proprio passaporto di partecipare a crociere “Bodrum-La Valletta”, per il fatto che le autorità libanesi non li ammettono sul loro territorio né a bordo delle loro imbarcazioni. In seguito a rimostranze, il Club Med avrebbe deciso di cancellare del tutto la tappa libanese della crociera.

The company had warned that those with Israeli visas or stamps in their passports could not board its boat, the Club Med II, for the Lebanon leg of the cruise since Lebanese authorities would bar them.
That drew a furious reaction from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, an organization that campaigns against anti-Semitism, and the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France.

It rejected the company’s argument that Lebanon was responsible for the ban. – AFP
