“It was like I wasn’t a person for him anymore”
The increasing dehumanization of Jews here and abroad is met with yawns and accusations of ‘conspiracy mongering”. I should know having been on the receiving end of such smears for well over a decade now. But it’s very real and very scary. The norming of Jew hatred evokes ‘the banality of evil’ described by political philosopher Hannah Arendt in her book Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil.’
The Deputy Consul General of Israel to the Midwest, Itay Milner, was ten minutes into his Uber ride on Lower Wacker Drive Thursday night when he was thrown out by the driver because he was a Jew.
Milner wrote in a Facebook post, “I just had the worst experience of my life. I was just thrown out of an Uber in the middle of the highway only because I answered my phone in my mother tongue.”
Deputy Consul General of Israel to the Midwest, Itay Milner, recounts his terrible experience with an antisemitic Uber driver.
By Aussie Dave, Israelly Cool, May 4, 2018
I just had one of the worst experience in my life.
I was just thrown out of an uber in the middle of the highway only because I answered my phone in my mother tongue.
10 minutes into my ride and with no prior interaction between the driver and myself, it took only two words in Hebrew to get my driver start yelling at me “get the $#@* out of my car”.
It did not help when I told him that I can’t go out in the middle of the highway. It was like I wasn’t a person for him anymore.
When I asked him if it’s because I’m speaking Hebrew he said yes and kept yelling at me to get out.
I am not easily intimidated, but that scared me, and I ran out of there, walking in the middle of the road.
I never thought something like this could happen in America, such awful racism.
This cannot be tolerated!
Uber has been contacted and released this statement
“Uber does not tolerate any form of discrimination. We are reaching out to the rider to extend our support for the experience he described here. As soon as we were made aware of this, we removed the driver’s access from the app as we look further into this.”
I was hoping to be able to find out more about this driver, but as Uber mentioned, he is no longer on the app. Here’s hoping his Uber days are well and truly over.

Hope Mr. Milner sues the sh*t out of Uber and the driver. Take Lyft. It’s much better.
What, Lyft doesn’t allow muslim drivers?
If some thing driving that vehicle, looks anything like a moslem (the vilest of ALL creatures), do not get in. Ask them, are you a moslem? If they answer in the affirmative, tell them to get the expletive deleted off of your street.
Don’t ask…extend your left hand and see h ow fast they drive off….
…..or take a cab….
He’ll be sure to encounter a muslim that way too
Can you pick your drivers w/Lyft? If I call a taxi where I live it’s a 75% chance it’ll be a muslum. I’ve read Uber is similarly infested.
I believe you can cancel the ride once you see who your driver is, on Lyft.
This man was forced out of the car in an a very dangerous area for pedestrians. Lower Wacker is always very dark (It is an underground tunnel) without any sidewalks. Also, it is not easy to find a way to Upper Wacker.

Hate crime??? Throw the bum in jail.
The Jew hating presumably muslim would have been filtered out when applying to become a uber driver. As he wasn’t, and in addition to violating hate legislation, placed a customer in a potentially lethal situation, unber should have its lug nuts sued off of as a start. Business has the right to select its customers, but not to place their lives in danger.
Shouldn’t this be considered racism?? Imagine if a Jew did that to a Moslem? It would make worldwide headlines for the next few weeks in the leftist papers and calling for a BAN on anything Jewish and the destruction of Israel and an official apology by President Trump and his call to convert to Islam.
Phew! Did I miss out on anything?
I never take uber or taxis. just pubic transportation or i don’t go. taxi drivers are all muslims and i would not get in a car with any of them. as for uber there’s no vetting of these drivers. no regulation on them. and no one monitoring them as there is wiht the TLC in new york city. the hell with that.
Before you can work for Uber, they must ask a question before they’re hired…are you Muslim?
No mention of the driver’s identity, how interesting. Could it have been an Arabpig muslum?
I bet the Uber driver was Muslim.
This taxi cab driver should be charged and reported to the police for threatening to kick out a passenger in the middle of the street and endangering his life simply because he was speaking Hebrew.
This is what happens when the Muslim population of any city grows the violence begins and Jews are their first targets.
Jew hatred its in the Quran.
He will almost certainly lose his hack license.
Uber drivers don’t have anything other than an operator’s license. You go tell that mean mommy, of yours, to stop spending so much time with all of your “uncles” and start playing “Make-Believe” with you. Mean Mommy, Bad … BAD!
The Religion of Peace strikes again.
This will happen whereever there is a good number of Muslims who feel emboldened to practice their racist, intolerant ideology. Except in the case of Muslim nations like Saudi Arabia – they play the long game, feining tolerance for a few years while they put non-Muslims to sleep.
” … Lower Wacker Drive Thursday night …” Lower Wacker Drive is in Chicago.

Shitcago, eh? The safest city in America, because it’s a gun-free venue, haven’s you heard?
Chicongo, where they recently made carjacking a misdemeanor, because …. They’re “not going to arrest their way out of this …” In no way, shape, or form … Whatever you do …. Don’t Make the Black Kids Angry.
I ain’t the sharpest machete in the shed. I am definitely no “SHERLOCK HOLMES” and a brief skimming of the article, made the location crystal clear. Perhaps, a remedial class in reading comprehension might drastically improve your life.
You can thank me later.
I had to spend no extra time, aside from reading the article, to find out where everything took place.
Rather than worrying about wasting your time, “ferreting out information”, spend it (your time) wisely. Take a remedial course in reading comprehension.
Do not blame the publisher for your poor abilities. To do so IS DISHONEST.
TOO funny. Simply hilarious!
Seriously, you simply cannot comprehend what you read. I truly pity you. Where did your educators go wrong? It may not be your fault. Or, you may have resisted learning. In either event, take a remedial reading comprehension course … It will markedly make an improvement in your life. You can thank me later. To do otherwise, not admitting your severe failures and problems .. is simply DISHONEST.
You need too address the issue that you are a moslem TOADY. To fail to address the issue that you are a moslem TOADY or even show understanding of the ability to read and comprehend English, is DISHONEST.
Complain all that you desire. I recall in one instance where DIRECTLY IN THE HEADLINE (special emphasis added) the exact location of the story took place. My reply, with the cut and paste, of said headline was timestamped only six minutes after your complaining comment. Several others pointed that out. Close to a day later, you edited your comment with, “Headline Changed”. It was to laugh.
You are not the first moslem TOADY with which I have taken issue. However, when it comes to the inability to read …. You’re right up there with semenjerkoff.
You have been preceded by an army of moslem TOADIES (plural of toady) that has blathered on mindlessly. All the same.
The cure for you is twofold. 1) Cease being a moslem. 2) Take a remedial course in reading comprehension.
Again, the cure for you is to 1) Cease being a moslem. 2) Take a remedial reading comprehension course. Being a moslem is evil.
There is no cure for a moslem, such as you, with the Stanford-Binet score of a walnut. This has EVERYTHING to do with you being a moslem … NO brain, to even kill, incapable of even comprehending the written word.
Please block me, moslem TOADY. How’s that wipin’ with a BARE left hand workin’ out for you? No amount of soap or disinfectant will clean your pores.
Please see the earlier reply. Sometimes, one has to actually read the article. To do otherwise, “IT IS DISHONEST”
You are exposed as a blithering idiot. If you are too stupid to read the article and easily find the location (Illinois license plates, shown twice .. and the location noted within the article) and then, making false accusations is DISHONEST.
“IT” is just a Muslim troll….there was a report in the spring of 2016 that Soros and Killary put up millions of dollars to specifically hire about 800 Muslim trolls….they have specially targeted Pamela’s site…
You’re “too smart”? Just like the village idiot, drooling and rocking .. “I am smart. I am so smart. I AM smart.”
Too funny. Simply hilarious.
You are trolling, as the moslem that you are. Seriously, take a remedial reading comprehension course. It will make a vast improvement in your life. You can thank me later. I simply skimmed the article and .. right within the article … WOW! There was the location. You poor dear thing.
I have no sympathy for moslem toadies, such as you, with no ability to read and comprehend written English. I have n sympathy for moslem TOADIES, such as you, as you have the intellect of an aphid (more than likely lower).
No, blithering idiot, blaming others for one’s own inabilities is the definition of “moslem TOADY”. Your ignorance of the word is as poor as your reading comprehension.
A Stanford-Binet score of twenty, most assuredly beats that of a walnut, incapable of comprehending the written word. Now be a good little moslem and go wipe with your BARE left hand.
Go and wipe with you BARE left hand, moslem TOADY.
No amount of lying with alter the fact that you ARE a moslem toady. Am I a racist? I love all of humankind, of every color and stripe. I hate rats, cockroaches and moslems, such as you. As, moslems are the vilest of ALL creatures.
You are a moslem toady, unable to comprehend the written word. There is no defense for you not taking a remedial reading comprehension course.
You are a moslem Toady – That has a great deal to do with your inability to comprehend the written word. The intellect of an aphid incapable of ANY thought, other than wiping with a BARE left hand.
Thank you, moslem TOADY.
If it was a muslim being thrown out, you can bet there’d be a massive lawsuit, a public apology demanded, retraining demanded, you won’t see any of those for the driver, and I wonder how far Uber will go with even firing the driver.
They will not fire him. The American people need to fire uber.
Sadly, liberals seem to prefer Muslims to Jews these days, and they control more of the media than do conservatives.
This is why I don’t use Uber…..between the rapes, assaults, and politics of the drivers……I just take a regular cab. I live in Las Vegas and you don’t hear about the hard working drivers raping, attacking, or pushing their politics on people….if anything you hear about the drivers being robbed and or attacked.
One of the few occupations muslims in USA are capable of handling is “driver”.
Check the drivers immigration status and see if he can be deported, or have his citizenship revoked.
How many highly qualified muslum taxi drivers does a dying atheist Western democracy need?
Chicago.
Is a lawsuit in the works?
sue them out of existence……….or they will continue their fasicst intimidation to shut down conservative free speech.
This is how patriots fightback and win http://tinyurl.com/y8yzso88
So why are you here? Me thinks you are a Muslim troll….
Little hussy IS a moslem.
thats awful things …
but it’s just a small incident …… as in other part of the world … countless palestinians are having worst things in their life after thrown out of their land …
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh…..another troll….Palestinians are the invaders….not the other way around….
What does that have to do with the FACT, that you ADMITTED performing oral sex on one of your male offspring, semenjerkoff? Have you no shame? Oh, you’re a moslem .. Of course, you have no shame.
next time grab him by its ham bone and circumcise it
