Doesn’t she get sponsoship from the tourist board of the country sends the visits to? I thought I had read an article about that because she was taking money from the Saudis tourism crowd when their human rights records are horrendous.
Oh yes that's right I completely forgot about that 😳

Mmmk so your opinion is that the comment “zionists aren’t welcome on my trips” isn’t antisemitic? Let’s call a spade a spade, it is antisemitism. Maybe she’s a proud antisemitist, I don’t know, but her comment is what it is. Let’s replace the word Zionist with Christian, Black, Chinese, Muslim…. Is her comment inflammatory? Yeah… it’s just your prejudice clouding your interpretation of her comment?
Imagine you’re a 30 yo female who loves to travel (her target trip audience) whos family raised her with the core belief that all Jews constitute one nation, you put no weight in this view nor do you have any investment in the ongoing ethnic clensing, in fact you’ve been petitioning for an end to the atrocities in Gaza, but you’re a Zionist, much like Irish are catholics, now all of a sudden you’re not welcome on Janet’s Journey. But you know a girl, she’s American 30 years old, grandparents were Irish, but with a fundamental belief in American government policy of unconditional weapons sales and military aid to Israel. She’s welcome to hang out with Janet because she isn’t a Zionist.

Anyway, we’re straying from the point. The girl needs to do better, maybe it was an accidental slur, maybe she genuinely does not want to engage with Zionists irrespective of their beliefs or upbringing. I’m just calling her out on it.
