Bali Gym Owner Expels Israeli Tourists Over ‘IDF’ Links

A Balinese gym owner refused to serve three Israeli tourists in Ubud and kicked them out. The gym owner posted a video on social media explaining why he refused to serve the tourists.

The man told the Israelis that they had served in the Israeli Defense Forces and had killed small children, and that his morals did not allow them to enter the gym. He added that Israelis should not enter Indonesia at all. Israeli citizens often have dual citizenship, which allows them to enter countries where they would not be allowed with an Israeli passport.

The gym owner said one of the tourists behaved arrogantly, which prompted the gym attendant to ask for help. He added that he does not serve Israelis or those who have served in the country's defense forces.

Indonesia is the world's largest Muslim-majority country.
