A Swiss hotel is being accused of anti-Semitism for signs that single out Jewish guests, prompting Israel to lodge a complaint against the government.

The signs told the guests that they need to shower before using the pool and restricted their access to the kitchen.

“To our Jewish guests, women, men and children, please take a shower before you go swimming and although [sic] after swimming. If you break the rules, I’m forced to cloes [sic] the pool for you,” the sign read, according to Swissinfo.

The notice was removed by the Aparthaus Paradies hotel manager, who claimed there’s a misunderstanding.

Another sign on the hotel’s refrigerator said, “For our Jewish guests: You may access the refrigerator only in the following hours: 10:00-11:00 and 16:30-17:30. I hope you understand that our team does not like being disturbed all the time.”
