Watch for much, much more of this in the near future.
“Australian bounce house company denies business to Jewish school: ‘Zionist school’s blood money,’” News.com.au, November 15, 2023:
Western Sydney Jump, a Sydney-based company that rents jumping castles, has come under fire for refusing to provide outdoor games to a Jewish school in Sydney.
The company’s response, laden with hostility, included an email to the Masada College school principal stating: “There is no way I am taking a Zionist booking. I don’t want your blood money. Free Palestine.”
The controversial exchange unfolded on Tuesday when Masada College reached out to Western Sydney Jump for a quote on several outdoor games for an upcoming school function.
Instead of a professional response, the school received a rejection infused with political sentiments.
The company later posted the email exchange on its Instagram page, @westernsydneyjump, attracting attention and criticism.
The now-removed posts have since circulated widely.
“I have owned my business for ten years. I have the right to decline any booking,” asserted the company owner on the Instagram post, defending their discriminatory stance….

Once upon a time, companies were amoral. In other words, other than making a buck, nothing else mattered. Then wokeism entered the picture, and companies started refusing business for all sorts of political reasons, thereby jeopardizing their top, if not bottom, lines
Sounds like an opportunity for Jewish entrepreneurs to catch on: start another company that rents play equipment, & start competing directly against Western Sydney Jump
RJ Katz says
Good idea
John Smith says
Totally agree Infidel if Jewish entrepreneurs started a similar company they would be dominant in no time at all, it’s in their DNA.
If it’s not a leftard that’s running the Western Sydney Jump then you can be sure he’ll have a name like Muhammad Abdul or something like that.

Has there ever been anything moral or good that has come out of Islam and its adherents in the whole world. Nothing at all except hate and murder.
bagsgroove says
Why is this islam lover doing in Australia. Moslems should be barred from non muslim countries.
Hoi Polloi says
“Western Sydney Jump owner and founder Tanya Issa”…. Seems there may be islamic ties. Tolerance flows in one direction only.
GreekEmpress says
Issa? Sounds like a Lebanese name.
So she’s got the right to decline any booking—
And the public has the right to not give her any business—
Hoi Polloi says
US courts are settling the as yet not fully settled issue of refusing customers. Idk Australia’s situation. See the Colorado baker case, for example.

Unfortunate misidentification.
The owner of a rival jumping castle operator in Western Sydney has received death threats and abusive phone calls after her business was incorrectly identified as the company who refused a booking from a Jewish school.
On Tuesday it was revealed the owner of Western Sydney Jump refused a booking from Masada College in St Ives, writing in an email: “There’s no way I’m taking a Zionist booking. I don’t want you blood money. Free Palestine”.
Shortly after the story broke that night, Rebecca Locker-Cole, who operates a business called Western Sydney Jumping Castles & Face Painting, received hundreds of threatening phone calls and abusive messages from strangers.
One man sent a Facebook message that read: “I’m going to come and jump up and down all over your Nazi face”.

Ms Locker-Cole believes she has been incorrectly targeted by an onslaught of hate, decimating her business’ hard-won social media following, and leaving her fearing for her family’s safety, because Western Sydney Jump has deleted their social media profiles and temporarily disabled their website.
“Since last night we’ve had over 100 phone calls. We’ve had people say to us: ‘You Nazi, you fat pig, we know where you live,’” she told NCA NewsWire.
“I’ve been breaking down all day, and crying. We’ve worked so hard on our business for the past seven years.”
Receiving the first message on Tuesday night at about 7 pm, Ms Locker-Cole and her husband Michael initially thought it was a scam, however by Wednesday morning they were contacting police, and working fast to remove their home address from the website.
While the business normally receives 20 inquiries a day, on Wednesday they had none.
