Food courier in France arrested for allegedly refusing to serve Jews
(JTA) – French police have arrested an Algerian man they say declined to serve Jewish-owned businesses because of antisemitic discrimination while working as a food courier in Strasbourg. The man, Dhia Edine D., is an illegal immigrant, the French lawmaker Meyer Habib wrote Wednesday, Jan. 13, on Twitter. Earlier this week, Edine D. allegedly told staff from two kosher restaurants that he does “not serve Jews” and thus is canceling their order with Deliveroo, the online delivery service for which he was working. A Deliveroo France spokesperson told JTA that his firm is looking into the case, which was reported to police, and working with police. If the employee, whose employment has been suspended, is found to have violated the firm’s “zero tolerance policy to racism and antisemitism” or French law, he will be terminated permanently, the spokesperson said.

A French court on Thursday convicted a delivery driver of discrimination against Jews after refusing to accept orders for kosher food.
Dhia Edine D., a 19-year-old Algerian man illegally in France, was sentenced by a Strasbourg court to four-and-a-half months in prison.
French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said that the man will be deported back to Algeria after he completes his sentence.
“I decided to expel from the national territory the food ‘deliverer’ … who said he did not want to handle deliveries to Jewish clients,” said Darmanin.
The conviction occurred two days after a regional Jewish institution, the Israelite Consistory of the Bas-Rhin region, filed a legal complaint that alleged that two kosher restaurants had claimed that drivers working for the online food-delivery service Deliveroo refused to make deliveries on their behalf because they didn’t want to service Jews.
