Michael ,   Jerusalem   (09.29.08)
yeah, they are responsible for all the sad things that happen in this country. You can thank G.d for being taken away of this public toilet that is called a nightclub happy rosh hashana mr lawyer
9. israel a white power country lead by ashkenazim
dovdevan ,   ashdod , israel   (09.29.08)
it is well known that ashkenazim are racist and they like to remain between them because they consider us as inferior people or less intelligent !! let me tell you that the same mistakes are made with the ethiopians who are being segregated the power put them in some kind of ghettos and they complain when those peoples become bad guys or work for the underground world like the mizrahim this is just the consequences of a racist policy toward whom is not white ashkenaze !!
10. Lets try and guess what really happened
Danny   (09.29.08)
They let in two women and kept out two men. He then threw a hissy fit and said "I am a lawyer how dare you keep me out" and they then told him to get lost.
11. He looks pretty light to me....
Avi ,   Tel Aviv   (09.29.08)
I know many ashkenazi that are darker then this guy. People get rejected from clubs all the time...
12. Interesting
Cameron ,   USA   (09.29.08)
Had to laugh reading the posting when he flashed his lawyer card, and door men were completely indifferent. The man definitely needs a completely new girlfriend.
13. WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE NEW CHINESE JEWS HAHAhah
I AM SO FUNNY ,   ..............DACON9   (09.29.08)
14. Please, "selectors" keep people out of clubs the world over

15. #5 Jason White
Jared ,   New York, USA   (09.29.08)
Do you have any education beyond high school?
16. Lucky to be born white.
Jared ,   New York, USA   (09.29.08)
In America you used to hear the old refrain that you're lucky to have been born white (though you stopped hearing it after going through the college application process). What a sad indictment of modern Israel's vacuous culture that you can say the same thing there. This brings to mind last week's infamous "the 'riffraff' went with Mofaz" remark from one of Zippy Livni's handlers. So much for "kol yisrael haverim." Being Israeli and being Jewish really are two completely different things.
17. Ashkenazim
(09.29.08)
Us Mizrahim are the real Jews, unlike the mixed with KHAZAR ashkenazis. STOP discriminating agaist us---we are the real Israelites!!!
18. Racism in Israel is a disgrace.
Michael Ezrachi ,   St. Louis, USA   (09.29.08)
Racism in Israel is a disgrace, Any business that discriminates against anone for any reason should be closed down and the owners and employees fined and made to take classes on how to treat others. Israel should be the last place were racism is found, especially do to the history of discrimination we Jews have faced. The leaders of Israel should speak out, however, I recall that one of Livni's guys made a racism comment. Stop racism in Israel now!
19. Discrimination at Israeli clubs
Roxy ,   Israel   (09.29.08)
Get over it, that happens at all clubs all over the world! For instance in Manhattan there are thousands of people turned away from clubs every night because they aren't pretty enough, or too geeky, you don't see anyone trying to sue the clubs because a business has the right to serve whomever they want! So get over it Mr Lawyer, move on try someplace else don't bother the already over burdened couts here with such nonsense. OPen your own club even better and allow in only those you want to! Better yet GROW UP rejection is a part of life!
20. sadly, nothing to do with skin colour...
mia   (09.29.08)
...it's to do with power-trips and these selector/selectorits, standing at the door listening to people watching on cctv telling them who to let in and who to keep out. they let in their friends or people they deem "pretty" enough. everyone else can go home! unless there's some odd kind of racism (that in israel with equal measures of ashkenazi/sephardi really wouldn't make sense) then i think this guy's off on the wrong foot. then again, he can't start a law-suit with "they said i wasn't pretty enough"!! either way, the whole thing's disgusting, demeaning, embarrassing and degrading and needs to be outlawed. there's nothing worse than standing outside a club waiting to find out if you're considered good-looking enough. unfortunately i don't know how it can be. with protexia outweighing the effectiveness of any protest, i think it's a losing battle. but this business has been around for a long time and i'm not sure haim hanya can change it. but, good luck, i'm with you!
21. Israeli Clubs
Michael ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (09.29.08)
Every club has a preference of who they wanna bring inside but this is INSANE!! Israel is still behind and some things are very racial, the ashkenazim makes jokes on the Iraqi jews, the georgian on the Iranian jews etc. I even went to a concert once where the only thing they were saying is jokes about another group!! that's sad I'm ashkenazi jew and i don't like them to much but i love all my brothers and sisters jews. Love u all and Shana tova!!!! Regards from Belgium
22. So it's not only Hareidi schools -
Shalom   (09.29.08)
All discrimination is disgusting, but you see right here that it happens in the secular world too.
23. it's Israel's dirty little secret
moroccan ,   paris   (09.29.08)
which keeps wise people from emigrating there, after a few visits. Who wants to be snubbed by a ruling "aryan" minority in 2008. How come Israelis tolerate this?
24. GET a LIFE..........end
Leonard ,   LA USA   (09.29.08)
25. ha ha ha , haaa ,,,racism ???????
hazem ,   jerusalem   (09.29.08)
you just got me laugh all over my self dude ? you think you have been subject to racism ? wait until they start thinking of you as an israeli arab , then you will know exactly what racism really mean and not only in nightclubs , i mean everywhere
26. 50000
(09.29.08)
50000 too cheap for your honar
27. #19 is right - get over it
rpc ,   modiin   (09.29.08)
Maybe it's because he was a man. Maybe it's because he wasn't young enough. Maybe it's because he wasn't dressed well. I've been rejected at clubs, I'm white and a woman. It happens. It sucks. It makes you feel awful, but you know, not everyone is a super model. People want to go to exclusive clubs because the best looking end of the social spectrum is there. Bouncers select the clientele to enhance the allure and exclusivity. If you don't make the cut, it's not the end of the world.
28. my friend and I weren't let in to a club in jslm...
shira ,   jslm, israel   (09.29.08)
The selectorit once didn't let my friend and I in to a club in Jerusalem. We're both Ashkanizi, but artsy types, aka we might've been dressed a bit schleppy. Can I sue? BTW my friend ended up performing there some time afterward, and the selectroit got fired.
29. to #15 Yes Jared,I studied five yrs of University
jason white ,   afula,israel   (09.29.08)
What did you do 12 years? Four in the first grade, four in the second grade and four in the third grade. I always told people that Jews from N.Y. are the smartest,but after reading your t.b. I will stop that.
30. to #17 Then the askenazim can say
jason white ,   afula,israel   (09.29.08)
you mizrachim were mixed with arabs. Do you see any askenazim speaking whatever the khazars spoke, eat their food or listen to their music? How can Jews living all over europe mix with a small group of Khazars? You can find archeological proof that there were ashkenazim before the Khazars converted.And only a small group converted. You are not a real Israeli,but a real idiot!
