Toronto woman says Uber driver ejected her after hearing Hebrew

A Toronto woman says an Uber driver threw her luggage onto the road and refused service after hearing her speak Hebrew, according to the National Post.

Shiri Gabriel, 52, reported the February incident at Toronto Pearson International Airport, where the driver ordered her and her husband out of the vehicle mid‑ride. Uber refunded $5 and said the driver would not be matched with the couple again, the Post reported on Friday.

The incident was the third reported case of antisemitic discrimination involving Uber and Toronto residents this year, according to the Post.

In August, David Woolf, 78, was allegedly refused service in Europe after identifying as Israeli, and Toronto model Miriam Mattova reported being ejected just after midnight on Nov. 30 after discussing Israel.

Uber told the Post that “discrimination has no place on our platform” and that the company takes such reports seriously.
