[Tender Branson]

This was put up near the hotel swimming pool (notice the anti-semitism and the crappy English):

That hotel does have pretty good ratings on TripAdvisor (4.5/5) and Booking.com (8.2) though.

At least the pool wasn't closed due to AIDS!

I don't understand the stereotype here.

I assumed something something smelly Jews.

[dead0man]

Are European Jews different from American Jews....like European Muslims are different than American Muslims?  While there are certainly stereotypes of American Jews, I don't think "smelly" is one of them.

The hotel specifically caters to the Haredi. Make of that what you will.

Well...they should definitely shower before, body hygiene is unheard of for them

The joke is about gas chambers, and it was probably put up by some random assdick.

Jesus F'ing Christ, not everyone is a white nationalist. Maybe there's a history of specific Jewish groups visiting the pool and not showering beforehand.

perhaps, and a non-racist would, in that situation, put up a note at the pool saying that all guests should shower before getting in the pool.

This. If, for example, Haredi Jews not being hygienic is the problem (which, by the way, isn't true for most of them), they could and should put up a sign for all guests.

In our defence, we're pretty much the only European country to have had a Jewish president (a Socialist, obviously). So swings and roundabouts hey?

I checked and you are right. At least there were quite numerous Jewish heads of government in Europe.

A "shower" sounds a bit morbid from historical perspective.

Don't quite get the message, but it's obviously very racist
