That Gil Ofarim Case

 Well....it abruptly ended this AM.  

What this case was about....this pop-star in Germany....was arriving at a hotel as a VIP guest.  He is Jewish....for the sake of this discussion, and apparently wore the Star of David.

At the check-in....he said (claimed) that he was advised by the hotel check-in clerk.....that in the city (Leipzig), he might want to avoid wearing the Star of David.  He afterwards, went outside, and did some type of social media claim about this 'warning'.  

The hotel?  They say such of an encounter/warning....never occurred.  Evidence?  There's enough to suggest that the warning phrase, or notice of the Star of David....never occurred.

This AM....Ofarim finally stopped things in the case, and said he admits it was made-up (bogus).

End of the case?  I'm guessing that the hotel wants some type of apology (in writing and on his social media) and perhaps some settlement of cash (maybe they will just accept the apology alone). I also think court costs (judge, prosecutor, and police security) fall into play.  Just a humble guess....minimum of 15k Euro on court costs.    

Just an odd case, from beginning to end.
