(Jewish Journal) A Palestinian Uber driver kicked two Jewish women out of his car on May 19 after he learned they were leaving the Israeli American Council (IAC)’s Celebrate Israel Festival at nearby Rancho Park.
In a phone interview with the Journal, Dayna (who requested only her first name be used for fear of retaliation), 33, and Rachel (a pseudonym; she requested that no part of her name be used for fear of retaliation) said they were in the back seat of the driver’s car across the street from Rancho Park at Fox Studios when he asked them, “What event were you coming from?” The women responded, “Just an event.” After the driver — who according to his Uber profile is named Mustafa — asked them again where they had come from, and after noticing that the car had not yet moved, Dayna said, “An Israeli Independence Day event.”
