UBER-HATER: Israeli Diplomat Thrown Out Of Uber In Chicago For Speaking Hebrew
Y.W. Editor

An Israeli diplomat says an Uber driver in Chicago yelled and threw him out of the car when he answered a phone call in Hebrew.

Itay Milner is deputy consul general of Israel to the Midwest.

Milner told The Associated Press he was taking the ride-sharing service home Thursday about 5:30 p.m. when he said “How are you?” in Hebrew into his phone. Milner says the driver cursed at him and told him to “get out now.” Milner says the driver told him it was because he was speaking Hebrew.

I would definitely not even know Hebrew if I heard it.

Not surprising. Certain cultures teach hatred for Jews and Israel to their children from birth onwards.

Nothing about the driver?  Is he the "Yuva"?

I don't know.  It was in the article with no explanation.

@LauraTXNM @Sanguine

I think those are pictures of the driver and the car. I see that yuva means nest or home in Turkish so that could be the driver's name.

Or it could be something entirely different.

I hope that clears things up.

Thanks, Endicom.  I guess the important part is that it's Turkish.

It's not "anti-Semitism" when muslims do it.

Or... at least it's not going to be prosecuted as such.
In Chicago, of all places.
