| I agree with Charlie. This is a contractual dispute. The hotel should have told all the guests not in the block booking from Bnei Brak what was going on. In fairness they did offer alternative accomodation (in my view in a better hotel). I am haredi and would have had no problem with the changes, even though I don`t seek to impose my standards on others, but if I went to a hotel where the usual terms had been changed I would expect to be compensated. This whole episode has really been blown up by Haaretz into a secular-haredi scandal. It is not. It is most likely a secular-secular scandal. I imagine from listening to the report that the hotel managers are secular and it is they who should be blamed not the group who booked on specific terms. Let them give away some of the large profit they made from the 400 rooms they let to their haredi guests. |
