An Arab Uber driver recently threw two Jewish women out of his car. Their “crime” was attending the Celebrate Israel Festival in Los Angeles.

One of the women, who said she takes Uber twice a DAY, has never experienced anything like it and was positive his motivation was anti-Israel bias and anti-Semitism.

She reported the incident to Uber, but received no reply beyond an automatic email. Only when the Jewish Journal got involved did they take it seriously. The good news is that hideous bigot was fired! Unfortunately, it’s happened before in other locations, so they still have a long way to go.

I can’t imagine a situation where the reverse would happen, with a Jewish driver asking an Arab rider to leave. It’s so crazy to me. Any form of discrimination is wrong, period.

Personally, I prefer Lyft. Uber drivers that I’ve met tend to be less friendly and there are more reports of riders being abused and assaulted by Uber than by Lyft.

What has happened to customer service, professionalism, and human decency? Such a sad state of affairs.
