As I predicted yesterday in a post, the girls returning would be turned into martyrs and made into celebrities. The facts are that they were "chutzpedik" and were thrown off not one but two different airlines.
Interestingly, they were not thrown off the last plane on their way back, and that was because they quickly learned to behave, something they weren't taught by the "heimishe" moisdois Ha'Torah!
I don't believe they were "singled out" and I don't believe that this was anti-Semitism; they were 'pashut" spoiled brats and caused anti-Semitism and a huge Chillul Hashem. This group of girls were not a group of 18, they were I believe over 40 in that group. You won't hear from those not thrown off, because if they speak up and reveal what really happened, they won't be able to do shidduchim, but these 18 brats will be quickly grabbed up. If they choose to file a lawsuit, I believe it will backfire as the airlines will not allow their lawyers to settle this.
Read how the "heimishe" press reported their return.,,,,,they leave out the fact that the brats were thrown off TWO different flights.
When they arrived at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport on Thursday evening, the girls were detained and told to pay a huge fine of $3000 after it was claimed that they had eaten food on their plane outside meal times in violation of COVID-19 guidelines. The girls had been forced to eat their own food outside the designated meal time because the flight did not carry food that complied with their community’s kosher standards.
At the same time, the Delta-KLM airline which they were travelling with singled them out for abusive treatment, harassing them for not wearing masks even as other passengers were not berated for similar violations. When they switched seats they were insulted by the flight attendants, who were described by relatives of the girls as “rude and impatient.” The girls claim that they were singled out from 50 other passengers due to the airline staff’s animosity towards Jews.
The group was later denied its request to board a later flight that would have still gotten them to New York before the start of Shabbat, when observant Jews are not allowed to travel by airplane. Eventually they were forced to fly to Antwerp where they were hosted by the local Jewish community.
On Sunday morning the group finally arrived in Newark airport and made their way to their homes. but the good news that they are bh back home and can finally unite with their anxiously waiting families that are looking out to see their daughters again!
