In the United States, particularly in Philadelphia, an incident of antisemitism occurred at a Barstool Sports bar over the weekend. A student from Temple University displayed a sign that read "F**k the Jews" during a bottle service order at Barstool Sansom Street. This disgraceful act prompted an immediate response from Barstool Sports founder, Dave Portnoy, who expressed his outrage through social media and announced that he would investigate the matter thoroughly. Portnoy revealed that the two individuals responsible for the sign were intoxicated customers, and he has decided to send them with their families to Auschwitz as a means of educating them about the Holocaust, believing that it could serve as a teaching moment instead of seeking purely punitive measures.
