SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Attorney General's Office has been asked by a state agency to investigate a Salt Lake City bar that posted a"No Zionists Allowed" policy.

The cider bar posted its controversial policy to social media, claiming"Zionism is hate speech" and that ownership stands"firmly with the people of Gaza and humanity." "There's no doubt that people are pretending to not be antisemitic or anti-Jewish here by replacing the word Jewish with Zionist," explained Marc Levine, ADL Regional Director."It's happening everywhere, it's kind of a code we don't want Jews here."

"The department notified the Utah Attorney General’s Office so they may conduct an investigation on whether the business is violating discrimination laws. At the same time, the department is reviewing its statutory obligations and legal options for responding to discrimination at DABS licensed establishments," the statement read.
