El Al officials denied the report, saying that they had relayed a message to all passengers about the issue.
Hildy, if the airline announced to all of the passengers that there was no Kosher food on board, then the passengers had the option to not eat. I doubt seriously that while they were in Budapest, they were able to observe all of the laws of Kashruth; however, even if they were, they didn't have to eat on the plane.
If my Jewish relatives (I was raised Jewish, but am no longer) come to my house and I tell them that I DON"T keep Kosher, it is their option to eat or not. If I tell them that I DO keep Kosher, but I don't, and they eat, the tsurris is on my head, not theirs
I'm not really concerned about the story, I'm concerned about the offensive illustration the poster Silly insisted on posting. Not funny and inappropriate. My people are being killed for no other reason than being Jewish. Am I being sensitive, YOU BET YOUR ASS I AM.
