  2. “teens were tampering with life jackets, oxygen masks and oxygen cylinders”.

  3. Spanish police:
    “The minors repeatedly tampered with emergency equipment and interrupted the crew’s safety demonstration, ignoring the crew. The pilot, believing they were endangering the flight, ordered their removal.”

  6. This sounds incredibly sus.

    There is a video circulating of these kids being briefed before heading into the airport on how to act & to effectively hide the fact that they are Jewish to avoid trouble, then the ENTIRE group is expelled for tampering with safety equipment? I’ve never heard of cases where a group of 50 people have been expelled for the actions of a one or two people supposedly being belligerent.

    There’s also testimony from other passengers that the group were well behaved, and from one of the teens themselves which seems quite believable.

  7. People really believe commander wants to call the police, lose their slot, cause a penalty for their employer, cause extra handling expenses, write a report, defend it in front of their bosses, file it for IATA auditors, expose themselves to lawsuits, etc. All during a rutinary short domestic rotation where you flight thousands of all kind of people every single week… all because they are jews? ok.

  8. it’s racism, people in flight were saying ‘ how well disciplined and well mannered kids were and they were surprised because they expected noisy / annoying teenagers ‘

  9. I don’t care where they are from or what their religion is. If 50 kids start singing and doing call back camper chants to each other on a flight that I’m on, I’m gonna be livid.

  10. I’ve never heard of an entire group getting kicked off a plane for 1 or 2 people…

  11. Never heave I heard of anything like that happen to any other group of teenagers. But there are plenty of stories of Israelis or Jewish being singled out and treated “differently”

  12. Meanwhile, you have the[ Transportation Minister of Spain ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Óscar_Puente)posting, then deleting, this *wonderful* [tweet](https://i.postimg.cc/W1JydQhB/Spanish-Transportation-Tweet.jpg) over on X:

    Translation:

    >”Will the patriots stand with Vueling? Will those of law and order [stand] with air security? Will the xenophobes stand with the Spanish company? Or is everyone “making a pineapple” [working together to support] with the Israeli brats?”

    Absolutely vile, but I’m not surprised.

    Apparently being a French Jew means you’re an Israeli.

  13. Funny how many “liberals” and “leftists” are suddenly taking the police’s account as gospel
