Lufthansa pulls out their Nazi card on Jews heading from NYC

Flying the Jew-less Skies

Correction: I originally titled this post 'Lufthansa pulls out their Nazi card on Jews heading for NYC.' Obviously they were coming from NYC, to eventually arrive in Budapest from Frankfurt.


The German airline Lufthansa removed all 127 Orthodox Jews from a NYC flight connecting in Frankfurt bound for Budapest last week. The reason the airline gave was that a couple in the group refused to wear a useless mask [the HEPA filtering system makes airplanes virtually Covid-free]. The refusal provoked the German airlines to ban all the other Jews from the flight simply because, well, they are Jews.

In a video taken by a passenger, one Lufthansa agent says, “If you want to do it like this, Jewish people who were the mess, who made the problems.”

Actually, it was the one couple who refused to wear a mask and rather than dealing with them as people, the a-holes of Lufthansa dealt with them based on their religion and removed Jewish people (who were wearing useless masks) from the plane.

It turns out the group of Jews were also banned from buying tickets to Budapest for 24 hours and one passenger  claimed that dozens of police officers were waiting for the Jewish passengers when they landed in Germany. 

This week, the German airline apologized for the anti-Semitic incident.

However, these scumbags could still face legal action after a prominent advocate for the Jewish community accused Lufthansa of violating German laws on equal treatment.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Lufthansa offered a belated apology “to all the passengers unable to travel on this flight, not only for the inconvenience, but also for the offense caused and personal impact.”

Other videos posted to social media by the Jewish passengers included disturbing scenes of armed German police officers angrily confronting Jewish travelers after one of their number was called a “Nazi” — a criminal offense under German law, even when it's true.

However, the airline said it regretted “that the large group was denied boarding rather than limiting it to the non-compliant guests.” But it gave no rational reason why the compliant "guests" were kicked off the connecting flight.

The statement concluded with a reassurance that “what transpired is not consistent with Lufthansa’s policies or values. We have zero tolerance for racism, antisemitism and discrimination of any type.”  It never mentioned compensation for the passengers nor any disciplinary action they plan to take, if any.

The airline said it would “be engaging with the affected passengers to better understand their concerns and openly discuss how we may improve our customer service.”

How about  by just not being anti-Semitic a$$holes.
