Huh. Well that came out of nowhere. Wonder why people all over the world have the impression Israelis might be committing war crimes.
I got the impression it was a question they asked all of their visitors, I guess some just have a guilty conscience.
It's clear in the article that they're asking guests with specific nationalities that the hotel has identified as being high-risk for having committed war crimes (Israel and Russia, among others).
It is a bit of a daft question. If an individual are wanted for alleged war crimes this is a matter for immigration. Otherwise asking somebody if they have commited war crimes is just an opinion. Nobody is going to answer yes.
Than that’s even better. Thanks for giving it a proper read.
