More than 100 Jews, mostly Hasidic (and dressed in typical Hasidic clothing), were on a flight from JFK to Hungary through Frankfurt to observe the memorial of a great rabbi. Apparently, one or two of them did not wear a mask between sips of drinks, which caused great consternation with the flight attendant and pilot as Lufthansa still requires masks. As a result, ALL visible Jews (the ones who "looked Jewish"?) were banned from their connecting flight to Budapest.
To quote the Lufthansa representative, as recorded on video, "Everyone has to pay for a couple. It’s Jews coming from JFK. Jewish people who were the mess, who made the problems."
For a moment, let’s ignore the obvious anti-Semitism, illegalities, and discrimination. Let’s skip over the fact that over 100 people were punished as a group for the questionable actions of one or two people. Instead, we need to look at the reactions and lack of reaction as a result of this overt hate.
Lufthansa issued a qualified apology: "Lufthansa regrets the circumstances surrounding the decision to exclude affected passengers from the flight." This is similar to someone apologizing by saying, "I’m sorry you feel that way." It is simply not an apology for a clear act of hate. Rather than apologizing for their anti-Semitic action, they’re sorry for the circumstances surrounding it? Has the corporate world become so affected and scared by the hate of Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, BLM, and the far left that they can’t even take ownership for the obviously ugly action of discriminating against an entire class of people based on how they look?
