British hotel chain investigating after Jewish guests find ‘Free Palestine’ message on TV

British hotel chain Travelodge is investigating after “Free Palestine” messages appeared on television screens in the rooms of two different Jewish guests at one of its London hotels, prompting allegations of antisemitism and a police report.

The incident occurred Wednesday at the Travelodge hotel in Manor House, north London. A Jewish guest reported finding the message displayed on the television in his room shortly after checking in.

Soon after, a second visibly Jewish guest — a friend of the first man who was staying at the same hotel — reported finding the same message displayed on the television in his room.

Both parties were visibly Jewish, and were part of a group visiting London for a wedding, according to reports.

Travelodge CEO Jo Boydell said that the company had apologized to the guests and condemned antisemitism, adding that such behavior would not be tolerated within the company or its hotels.

The chain is treating the matter with the “utmost seriousness,” and had launched an immediate investigation into the matter as well as reporting it to police, she said.

This is blatant antisemitism.
Absolutely disgraceful.
