“Zionist free zone” in Edinburgh. https://t.co/pOqPJnhtxn
An LGBTQ-free zone. A Black-free zone. A Muslim-free zone. A Sikh-free zone. A women-free zone. Any one of these signs would and should cause an uproar. *This* sign bans the vast majority of Jewish people and others besides. It’s discrimination. @PoliceScotland https://t.co/hi4A1IVE0N
