That Leipzig Incident

 Back around seven months ago, I essayed a piece or two on a Leipzig incident involving Gil Ofarim (the German pop singer) at a premium hotel.  The incident?  Gil walks in....wants service to get checked in.....says the clerk gazed at the Jewish Star he was wearing, then gave him a 'warning' that it was unsafe to wear this in public around Leipzig.  

Gil then got all emotional....sat in front of the hotel, and did some social media 'chat' to tell how he was all disturbed over this hotel treatment, and how unsafe things were for a Jew in Germany.

So, in the week following that.....lot of Germans dumped upon the hotel, the city of Leipzig and got all weepy-eyed on supporting poor Gil.

Well....the hotel came up with video of the desk, and most of what Gil suggested....simply didn't happen.  A reported turned into the police?  That got questioned a good bit.

Gil not realizing the video recording was going on?  That's my impression.  If you go to any premium hotel in Germany today.....there's probably twenty different cameras set up at the entry, around the front-desk, and in the bar area.  

Today, I noticed that the prosecutor of Leipzig finally said enough.....he's pressing false statement situation against Gil.

All of this faked-up?  Yeah, and it looks like a German-like version of the Jussie Smollett incident.  Most likely to come out of this?  Probably a suggestion for rehab, and some hefty fine for the statement (my humble guess).
