NEW YORK (VINnews) — In what is apparently a clearcut incident of antisemitism and discrimination against Israelis, two survivors of the Nova festival in which 330 young people were killed by Hamas terrorists were interrogated for two hours at Manchester Airport on Monday. The immigration officials who detained them spoke disparagingly, stating that ‘we are the boss not you’ and that ‘we had to make sure that you are not going to do what you are doing in Gaza over here’.

The British Home Office has begun a probe into the ‘demeaning’ treatment of the pair.
A Home Office spokesperson said: ‘We are aware of the complaint made against Border Force staff at Manchester Airport and are investigating these claims.
‘While the facts and circumstances are being established, it must be reiterated that we do not tolerate antisemitism, in any forms, anywhere.’
The two survivors had arrived in England to speak about PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and to raise awareness for an organization they established to help other survivors. Despite stating their reason for arrival, they were detained and interrogated simply because they held Israeli passports.
This is utterly vile. Survivors of the horrific massacre at the Re’im Music Festival on 7th October are disgracefully interrogated by @UKBorder when arriving at Manchester Airport.
Why? Because they had Israeli passports.
Absolutely disgusting.pic.twitter.com/PD8hFw4w1W

Marc Levy, a member of the Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester and Region sent a sharp letter to the Manchester airport authorities asking them to investigate the incident and clarify what steps are being taken to prevent other people holding Israeli passports being subjected to similar abuse.
Clarify steps and hell they’re going to change it? Here’s how you clarified. You fire them!! You can’t have people in such a position who treat others like that. If we have to take airport security seriously, THEY NEED TO AS WELL.
This is Olam Hazeh – immoral bigots sitting in judgment over noble lifesavers. A זעיר אנפין of the UN.
The UK has long fallen, completely lost.
Not sure if it’s still makes sense for Jews to remain there out of safety concerns.
Israel, US, Mexico ..or any country where you can bear arms and defend until Mashiach (bmb”y).
Anti Semitism in the UK has been a known fact since 1917 , 1922, 1948. The British government has diminished the size of the State of Israel and given this to Syria, Jordan and to the Arabs of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other Arab populations who were looking for work in Palestina with the Jewish population as their bosses. Only in 1964 they, the Arabs called themselves Palestinians as per their murderer, Arafat and as accepted by Egypt. Since the UK has accepted millions of Arabs in their country, they have accepted the Arab political hate programs against the Jews. No wonder they interrogated Jewish Israelis.
Poor survivors! The British have overstepped very possible boundary are should not be considered a democratic state. The Jews there seriously live in fear.
Did the UK let it slip that they are holding innocent hostages ‘had to make sure that you are not going to do what you are doing in Gaza over here’.
Britain is lost the new Moslem leaders and their useful idiots have made sure of it.
Just remember that once the Jews are gone it’ll be too late..
These are rabid antisemites. Their supervisor probably gave them the go ahead for this abominable behavior to victims of Oct. 7, to former hostages taken back to Gaza and abused in the worst ways, beyond human imagination, perpetrated by 7th century barbarians and documented by the same barbarians. FIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY.THEY SHOULD NEVER BE PERMITTED TO WORK IN ANY POSITION THAT INVOLVES INTERACTION WITH OTHER HUMAN BEINGS. The survivors have a right to sue th and their employers for big time money. They should consult lawyers immediately.
Let’s hear the facts first. I bet they were bringing in drugs and got stopped because of that. The Music scene is filled with people who use drugs at the parties especially jews who use more drugs per capital than any other people on the earth. I could provide the stats, but I am sure you would say the true numbers were antisemtic.
