A string of property owners across a county in the United Kingdom are openly refusing to rent spare rooms to Zionists.

The Telegraph broke the story about the advertisements, many of which also advertised spaces for “Muslims only.” Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman slammed the ads, calling them “blatantly racist” and “the ugly face of the liberal left.”

“These blatantly racist adverts expose the sinister hypocrisy among the so-called ‘tolerant’ Left,” she said. “While claiming to champion inclusion and equality, they openly endorse discrimination based on gender, sexuality, political beliefs and religion.”

Some of the ads posted the following requirements:

• “We can get on with most people, except transphobes or Zionists.”
• “TERFs [trans-exclusionary radical feminists] … [and] Zionists need not apply.”
• “No Zionists.”
• Only looking for “2 Muslim boys or 2 Muslim girls.”

A spokesperson for a popular rental site explained that while landlords do not have the right to exclude anyone, others are allowed to express preferences for roommates. However, they can’t say whom they want to exclude. For example, a woman can say that she’s seeking a female apartment mate, but she may not post “No men allowed.”

“But we ask flatmates to write their ads clearly and respectfully, and we ask everyone to avoid using exclusionary wording,” he said.

Many Jews today see the word “Zionist” used as a slur to mean “Jew,” and to them this harks back to the days when signs of “No Jews allowed” were not only common but also acceptable.
