>> The incident, which occurred in October, involved an Israeli travel planner who customizes trips to Japan for Israeli clients reached out to Hakuba Lodge Co-op, which operates 17 lodges and ski resorts in #Nagano and other regions, to inquire about accommodation options for the upcoming winter.

>> She received a blunt reply from the manager, named Justin, who wrote: “We have made a business decision not to accept any booking from Israeli citizens going forward. We are not comfortable with what your country has imposed on the people of #Palestine, and we do not feel right that you could consider holidaying when people next door don’t have anywhere to sleep and are starving. Maybe you could consider originating groups to go and help rebuild Palestine instead of going on an exotic holiday."
