(VINnews) — A flight attendant was criticized this week after she was seen wearing a Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) flag pin and a keffiyeh around her neck. A United Airlines passenger discovered the stewardess wearing the pin and keffiyeh during a flight from Chicago’s O’Hare Airport to Newark.

United, however, refuses to budge on its policy to allow flight staff to wear PLO or other flag pins “that represent their pride.” The PLO is a notorious terror group which has a long history of being involved in hijackings, among other attacks.

The ‘StopAntisemitism’ group blasted United Airlines for allowing employees to make divisive political statements.
“StopAntisemitism is alarmed by the rising trend of US airline employees displaying Palestinian flags and keffiyehs while on duty,” StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez said, according to The New York Post. “There are no flights to Palestine.
“Political stances belong off the clock,” Rez said. “Airlines must ensure that passengers aren’t confronted with divisive symbols in what should be a neutral space.”
“Our uniform policy has long included an option for flight attendants to wear flag pins to designate specific language skills so that our customers who are more comfortable in a language other than English can know who on our crew speaks their preferred language,” the airline said in a statement, according to The New York Post.
“We also allow flight attendants to wear flag pins that represent their pride in a place to which they may have a special connection,” the statement added.
Someone should ask United if they support terrorist takeover of aircraft. PLO was responsible for Black September.
Flying the unfriendly skies of Disunited needs to be curtailed unless they fix this.
Boycott United, and don’t let them resume flights to EY.
Vote with your pocketbook, Don’t fly the unfriendly skies of United.
Is United still smashing people’s guitars (Dave Carroll) and smashing doctor’s teeth (Dr. David Dao)???
os this the same airline that is boycotting and not flying to israel
United has been untied for a while now.
CORPORATIONS ARE NOT PEOPLE THERE SHOULD BE POLICITAL
They should change their name from UNITED to DIVIDE
This is further evidence that there’s something or someone behind these airlines not flying to Israel. There needs to be a congressional investigation.
Then passengers can also wear Israeli flags and pins
Boycott United Airlines.
Next time you see someone with that pin, ask them if they ever visited Gaza or invited anyone from Gaza into their home. If they say no, ask them why not? They’re obviously not your friends…
THE TIME HAS COME TO STOP FLYING UNITED AIRLINES UNTIL THEY STOP ALLOWING EMPLOYEES TO WEAR OR DISPLAY ANY SUPPORT FOR ANY TERRORIST GROUP SUCH AS PLO!!!
Don’t see the keffiah….
But I think it is stupid to allow employees to express their political views at work. It does offend customers and other employees.
Nice legs, but so they have to be shown? Couldn’t you of posted the same picture with the bottom part cropped off?
Yes, some people wear things other people do not like.
