Dov ,   USA   (03.09.16)
Why would she even think that.

3. Agree with #1
Christy ,   Boston, US   (03.09.16)
Why wasn't this teller dismissed? What would give this 'trainee teller' the idea this action was permissible at all? --- I guess an apology wouldn't even be issued unless this paper looked into it?
4. berlin bank

Israeli bank tellers and account offficers treat foreigners very badly as well. They are generally rude, hot headed and give very poor service.
8. Chose wisely.

So a clueless trainee did a mistake that may or may not have been motivated by antisemitism. Meanwhile tens of thousands of Israelis opened bank accounts in Germany without any problem. There are stores here with bold Hebrew signage here in Berlin. Thousands of Israelis live happily in Berlin. Just two weeks ago I participated in a wonderful celebration here in Berlin where the largest non-German contingent visited from Israel. So much joy, laughter, and genuine, heartfelt friendship. You can chose to hold on to the past, hold on to fear, focus on the scary exceptions, on the few things that don't work, and as a result live a life of constriction. You can also chose to open your eyes to new realities. Chose wisely.
