I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the abhorrent treatment experienced of antisemitism by two passengers, Nechama and Chana , on June 17, 2024, while traveling with Virgin Atlantic from JFK to Tel Aviv with a stopover in London. Despite arriving at the airport hours before the flight, checking in their luggage, going through check-in, and receiving their boarding passes, they encountered severe mistreatment by your staff.
At 22:50, they were seated at the gate, having something to eat before the flight scheduled to depart at 23:59. When boarding began, several passengers were allowed to board the plane without issue. However, when it was their turn, they handed over their passports to a man who seemed to be the manager on duty, a man of dark skin wearing a gold cross necklace. He called them aside and informed them that they had been removed from the passenger list and said that their luggage had been taken off the plane.
When they sought an explanation, the manager became hostile and threatened to call the police if they took pictures or videos of him. This aggressive and intimidating behavior, combined with the lack of a satisfactory reason for their removal, led them to believe that his actions were driven by discriminatory motives.
As they stood there confused and distressed, other staff members on duty began to laugh and mock them openly. They made derogatory comments which were clearly anti-Semitic in nature. Their collective behavior indicated a coordinated and deliberate act of discrimination against these Jewish passengers. This public humiliation was exacerbated by the staff's blatant enjoyment of the distress they caused, evidenced by their laughing at each other after what they did.
The El Al gate, located in front of Virgin Atlantic at JFK, witnessed the incident. The El Al staff were appalled by what they saw and heard. They described the behavior of the Virgin Atlantic staff as completely out of place and anti-Semitic. They were forced to pay additional 800 usd each to fly with elal because the antisemitic agents put them as no show Their is proof to back up this story
Okay, hang on. One question: if this was a flight to TLV, then there's no way they were the only two Jews on the flight. Why were they singled out?
