About two weeks ago, I essayed a piece or two over Gil Ofarim's hotel experience at a hotel in Leipzig (the Star of David episode). To simplify the story....Ofarim (a noted singer and probably recognized by a majority of Germans) was checking into a upscale hotel in Leipzig. He says that the clerk said something about his Star of David (to the effect you shouldn't wear that around the city). Ofarim, being Jewisih, took offense to this, and got hyped up.....sending this off into social media and creating a massive blitz for a week.
Well....new video has come out, and it shows Ofarim walking into the hotel....without the Star of David chain on his neck. N-TV talked about this here in the AM. Two different news sources have viewed the video footage and say in a blunt way.....there's no Star of David chain on Ofarim's neck as he enters (at least you can't see it).
Where things stand at this point? I hate to suggest it....but the whole thing seems rather 'fake' at this point, and social media folks will fall apart if this was a creation out of thin air.
