ISRAEL (VINnews) — A flight attendant on a Ryanair flight to Tel Aviv repeatedly described their destination as Palestine, according to witnesses.

Shocked Israeli passengers, traveling from Italy to Ben Gurion, told Channel 14 News that the flight attendant said they were bound for Palestine multiple times, in both Italian and English.
Shortly before the plane was set to touch down, the attendant announced over the intercom that they were “approaching Palestine.”
Some passengers reportedly spoke up and asked her to either correct herself or apologize. Their requests were shot down, and stunningly, the crew accused the passengers of creating a disturbance that endangered the safety of the flight.
“We didn’t [buy tickets] on the airline to deal with anti-Zionist opinions [from flight staff],” a passenger said. “All we wanted was [an announcement] that Tel Aviv is in Israel.”
One passenger who tried to take a picture of the attendant, was told that she would be arrested upon landing if she left her seat.
“It is wholly unacceptable that on a flight from Italy to Tel Aviv, a member of Ryanair staff would repeatedly broadcast their own political ideology over the facts by stating that the flight in question was landing in Palestine, rather than in Israel,” said Jackie Goodall, executive director of the Ireland Israel Alliance, according to World Israel News.
According to Channel 14, Ryanair, headquartered in Ireland, refused to respond to multiple requests for comment.
The Israelis on the flight should not have backed down, as they would have been dealing with Israeli police at Ben Gurion, who could have ascertained what occurred.
Why do Israelis keep patronizing a company that hates them?
Make noise.
Get results.
Foolish Israelis immediately ban all flights and overflights by Ryanair
The Israelis should have simply sang HaTikva a few times every time the flight attendant said “Palestine”.
If Israel doesn’t boycott the company than it shouldn’t complain
Look on the bright side. The bums from NK finally got jobs.
Anti Israel is Anti Semitism
I am no Zionist and believe it was a churban to create the Medina
However in today’s world a goy who is outspokenly anti Zionist is masking there anti semitism in anti Zionist rhetoric
1. The Irish were neutral during WWII. 2. Former UN High Commissioner Mary Robinson, probably the most antisemitic UN High Commissioner (and Chair of the infamous Durban’s hate fest of Israel), was previously Ireland’s President. 3. When the Irish (known for being equal opportunity haters), run out of people to hate, they revert to their “Hatfields vs McCoys” feud, their famous centuries old internecine killings. 4. Israel should cancel Ryanair‘s (Ireland’s airline), landing rights. 5. Few Israelis were upset when Hezbollah “accidentally” killed & wounded several Irish UNIFIL soldiers in Lebanon last December.
I turn to VIN for all the late-breaking news about inflight announcements and frozen desserts.
Who cares!
Such childish idol worshipers. The flight attendant insulted your idol by referring to the old name of the region. Who cares?
Don’t forget that the Zionists fought and terrorized the British into leaving then-Palestine before 1948.
So pathetic that this is a “SHOCK”. The Zionists chose to literally become just like the nations, and we know that this only causes the nations to push away. So, to any Torah-observant Jew, this should not at all be a “shock”.
