An Israeli diplomat who was kicked out of an Uber in Chicago claims he was the victim of an anti-semitic attack.

In posts on Twitter and Facebook Thursday night, Itay Milner said his driver yelled at him to 'get the f*** out of my car' when he picked up a call and started speaking Hebrew on the phone about 10 minutes into the ride. He said the driver had not talked to him once before that.

'It took only two words in Hebrew to get my driver start yelling at me "get the $#@* out of my car,' Milner said.

Milner, who is the deputy head of mission at the consulate general of Israel in Chicago, said this happened as they were driving on the highway.

As he was getting out of the car, Milner said he asked if he was getting kicked out because he was speaking Hebrew, and the driver said yes.

'I am not easily intimidated, but that scared me, and I ran out of there, walking in the middle of the road.

On Thursday, Milner wrote posts on Facebook and Twitter, detailing how he was kicked out of an Uber for speaking Hebrew

He said he only spoke two words in Hebrew before the driver was yelling at him to 'get the f*** out of my car'

In his post on Facebook, Milner included a picture of the driver, which DailyMail.com has obscured since he has not been charged with a crime

'I never thought something like this could happen in America, such awful racism. This cannot be tolerated!' Milner wrote on Facebook.

When Uber was made aware of the situation, they suspended the driver from the app and started an investigation.

'Uber does not tolerate any form of discrimination. We are reaching out to the rider to extend our support for the experience he described here,' the company said in a statement to WBBM.

'As soon as we were made aware of this, we removed the driver's access from the app as we look further into this.'

Milner later thanked everyone for their words of support. Uber has suspended the driver while it conducts an investigation

About five hours after his initial post Thursday night, Milner published another tweet, thanking everyone for their support.

'Thank you everyone for your support, it means a lot to me. This should have never happened, but as it has, we should make an example out of it so it won't happen to others,' Milner said.

According to his Facebook, Milner has worked at the Israeli consulate in Chicago since 2016.
