50 Jewish children kicked off plane, female supervisor allegedly beaten to the ground and handcuffed!

Whaaaaat? We cannot have a single thread on Gaza without events in other countries being brought up as whataboutery. It's always the same posters doing it and they are completely shameless in doing so.

Yes but it was pretty obvious what OP was trying to suggest - that the pilot is somehow a terrorist supporter and didn’t want to fly Jewish children on his plane. The guy didn’t know who they were yet it’s now being used against him.

Ok, so on that basis there is motive in those saying the kids were singing “Death to Arabs” in Hebrew and that those posters are trying to paint a picture of the kids being racist Arab haters? )Ignoring the fact that one example is true and the other is alleged and looking more likely to be false).

Personally, I think the pilot taught the 9/11 terrorists is neither here nor there in this incident, just an unfortunate coincidence.

I think even trying to claim that children dying of starvation is conspiracy theory, like OP and in fact several others I know IRL, falls into the category of sick and disgust.

At this stage, we don't know if the airline was justified in removing the group or if anti-Semitism played a part. I'm choosing not to have an opinion on this until time hopefully brings more clarity. The discussion here is becoming increasingly ill-tempered and I think there's a case for MN to close it down. There is nothing useful that anyone can add at this moment in time.

TBF to the OP that seems to have been something that some in the MSM have focused some attention on...

With regard to that I'll maintain it's unusual for a captain to be named in these sort of circumstances..most mortals involved in this sort of stuff tend to keep their heads down, get on with the day job and let company PR people handle the fall out.

OTOH I guess sales of his book might get a bump (if it's still available).

Yes they are. OP for one.

And to be fair, @Lolapusht, I think I’ve had considerably more, completely unjustified vitriol and offensive allegations made by a particular poster than I’ve levelled at anyone else.

Bollocks. There was motive in the statement. Trying to paint a picture of an Arab/terrorist sympathiser.

I think some people on this post are very good at insinuating things 🧐

That’s a fair point.

Yes but the insinuation behind the fact is very clear indeed.

Your point would be more valid if you responded with the same level of vitriol to all of the posters saying the kids got what they deserved.

OP posting about possible anti-semitism without verified info = BAD
PPs posting that the kids were chanting ‘Death to Arabs’/being rowdy etc without verified info = FINE

Surely both groups of posters should be treated with as much outrage for posting about a story with unverified information?

I’m over-reacting to being falsely accused of anti-Semitism by a particular poster because I don’t share their view?
No I’m bloody well not! I’m not policing anyone. I would have reported their comments several posts ago if I were that way inclined.

It’s not an insinuation, though.

It’s a fact.

He did train two of the 9/11 attackers.

It’s not really relevent, just an interesting piece of coincidental information about of the participants.

Are you sure about that? You read a news report regarding French Jews and decide to discuss it on the 'Conflict in the Middle East' section. That sounds like you are infact inherently antisemitic, given that French Jews have nothing to do with the Israeli Government.

So why have they all just gone on half-truths and supposition. Plenty of people posted on the thread that there was more than 1 supervisor.

Are you usually this emphatic in policing people’s posts? It may just be how you MN, but it seems to be a bit of an over-reaction. If you don’t like a post just ignore it, you don’t need to keep banging on about the OP’s intent behind the post (when you can’t possible know that and are just guessing) 🤷🏻‍♀️

Another out of order insinuation.

That’s the issue, there is not yet a single, verified narrative of exactly what happened. So why rush to the internet to claim anti-Semitism without waiting to find out? When OP posted, very little was known at all, was speculation. Why was it ok to start this thread based on speculation?

It obviously wasn’t.

OP what was the purpose of you saying that the pilot trained 2 of the 9/11 hijackers? What was the relevance?

There’s a difference between the OPs views and the information that is available regarding the incident. Can you not perceive the difference?

..and if the group of 50 kids weren’t being rowdy, weren’t compromising safety, weren’t singing hateful songs and weren’t being supervised by one adult you would change your views on this particular story?

Tbf, that’s very much how it came across in OP’s first post. Many people won’t have been able to read the telegraph article because of the paywall.
