(JEWISH GROUP) Kyoto hotel forces Israeli tourist to declare non-involvement in war crimes [View all]

An Israeli tourist checking into a hotel in the Japanese city of Kyoto was forced to sign a form declaring his non-involvement in alleged war crimes committed by Israeli forces, Ynet reported on Saturday.

The tourist attempted to check in for a stay at the Wind Villa Hotel in Kyoto, but upon presenting his Israeli passport at the desk, he was told to declare his non-involvement in war crimes or face refusal of service.

The tourist reportedly served in the Israeli Navy as a combat medic.

The tourist told Ynet that "Among the sections in this document was that I did not rape, murder people who raised a white flag, or commit a war crime. This is absurd and ridiculous. I told him that we do not kill women and children, why would we do that?"
