The women were planning to travel to Tel Aviv with a layover in London. They had already received their boarding passes and were waiting at the gate when a Virgin Atlantic employee who they said had dark skin and was wearing a cross explained that they were denied permission to fly and that their luggage was removed from the plane.
When the passengers asked for an explanation, the manager allegedly threatened to call the police if they tried to take pictures or videos.
In addition, other Virgin Atlantic employees began mocking them and making blatant antisemitic statements at them. El Al staff reportedly witnessed the incident and were shocked by what they saw.
The women felt their removal from the flight was motivated by antisemitism. They have filed a complaint with Virgin Atlantic.
What’s a complaint? They must file a lawsuit and make pay!
IF THIS HAPPENED IN AMERICA THEY SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT WITH FAA
This is awful antisemitism is rising since October 7 and more of these stories is taking place at the airports .
These staff should be fired
This was first reported a week or so ago on other allegedly Jewish sources. What took you all so long?
