"Back in April, Freundlich allegedly made several calls to the Iris Hotel in Brookline asking if the hotel was a "Jew free zone" and saying that he would "make sure something blows up" if he stayed there, according to a Brookline police report. David Linton, a spokesperson for the Norfolk District Attorney's Office, told Brookline.News that Freundlich was ordered to stay away from the hotel and continue mental health counseling on top of one year of probation."
""This flag should not be a contentious symbol and we would show the same respect for any dignitary choosing to stay with us regardless of their heritage or ethnicity," the company wrote. "The flag was there only for that day and has nothing to do with politics. We have many Jewish guests staying at our hotel and we respect everyone.""
A Brooklyn man accused of threatening to bomb a Brookline hotel after management raised a Palestinian flag had his felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor. The man allegedly called the Iris Hotel asking if it was a "Jew free zone" and said he would "make sure something blows up" if he stayed there. The reduced charge was threatening to commit a crime. The defendant was ordered to stay away from the hotel, continue mental health counseling, and serve one year of probation. Hotel management said the flag honored U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib and was not political.
