Germany’s flagship airline has been fined $4 million by the U.S. Department of Transportation over allegations it discriminated against a group of Jewish passengers.
The regulator said Tuesday that Lufthansa had prohibited 128 people wearing traditional Orthodox Jewish clothing from boarding for a connecting flight in Germany as they made their way from New York City to Budapest, Hungary, in May 2022.
“Based on the alleged misconduct of some passengers,” DOT said, Lufthansa staff “treated them all as if they were a single group and denied them boarding,” despite many of the passengers not knowing each other nor traveling together.
Some individuals in the group allegedly violated the airline’s mask policy. Video of the incident at the time showed Lufthansa staff telling passengers that “everyone has to pay” for the mistakes of a few, then defining “everyone” as “Jewish coming from JFK.” At the time, German media reported that staff denied boarding to people they determined were Jewish because they were wearing a yarmulke (a Jewish skull cap) or had sidelocks (known as payot in Hebrew).

WTF
Explain the problem with Jews
Anyone
Near as I can tell, these passengers did not want to wear the Covid masks. The airline went skibidi.
Germany. Spent time there.
I have never met a more stupid group of white people in my life.
They exterminated millions of other human beings cause they was jealous.
Jews weren’t causing any trouble, they just outsmarted them.
Notice, they never said “sorry”.
Master race? LOLOL!
Vee embrace socialism and limited freedoms. Fking brilliant.
Total Douchebags.
Oh, how’s the “welcome migrants” thing working out?
The women are stonger than the men. They are.
You’d think they would have learned something from World War Two and the Allies division.
Whatever problems Germany 🇩🇪 now has, they brought on themselves.
Mark Twain and Thomas Sowell both came up with the same answer. Jews are hated for being too successful.
What the heck is the US DOT authority over what a German company does in Germany?
Most of my ancestry is German (50%) - the rest from at least 2 others
Every now and then some from my bloodline try to take over the world
If only it were as funny like Pinky and The Brain
What a coincidence that Klaus Schwab of the 666 World Economic Forum was born in ... Germany ... in 1938 ...
Well it's hard for Germans to tell Jews apart, unless they have a tattoo.
Not for Othodox Jews. They wear a yarmulke, the long sidelocks, and all seem to get the same style of suit and hat from the same tailor. They blend like the Amish.
A more challenging thought is the Catholics and Protestants identifying each other in Northern Ireland.
It was a flight out of JFK, hence U.S. DOT involvement.
Lufthansa knew they were screwed when they learned 75% of the group were lawyers.
Explained to me from a German friend who left Germany at 18 ….what to expect from a country where most fathers were killed in the war, the young fatherless males were raised by single mothers who were constantly raped by the Soviets.
It does explain much of the German population’s woes.
The attractive blonde gal in “Lost in Space” was a child from a woman raped by a German soldier in World War II
At least that’s the story I read 30-40 years ago
Wiki just claims her father was a Nazi German soldier and that she was put in an orphanage so that she might not know she came from a Nazi bloodline
Marta Kristen was born Birgit Annalisa Rusanen, on February 26, 1945, in Oslo, Norway, to a Finnish mother and a German soldier who was killed towards the end of World War II in Europe.
Marta was only two months old when she was left in an orphanage. In 1949, Dr. and Mrs. Harold Soderquist of Detroit, Michigan adopted her, and brought her to America; she was renamed Martha Soderquist.
In 1959, the family moved to L.A. and she attended Santa Monica High School for a year; she later graduated from Hollywood Professional School. Producer/director James B. Harris discovered the pretty, petite aspiring actress; he arranged for her to get an agent, and she was quickly booked for TV programs . . .
Her career took off and she made a splash as the mermaid "Lorelei" in Beach Blanket Bingo (1965). She would be best-known and remembered, however, for her signature role of "Judy Robinson" in Lost in Space (1965).
Germany actually imposed immigration restrictions on Muslim Turks in the mid 1990s, shortly after reunification.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center denounced the new law, saying that Germany was returning to its racist, Nazi past. (I heard the Wiesenthal Center's press release on KABC-AM at the time, while driving; I never forgot).
Under Jewish pressure, Germany quickly rescinded the law and allowed Muslims migrants in again. Hoping to prove to Jewish groups that they were no longer Nazis.
Jews weren’t causing any trouble, they just outsmarted them.
If you say so.
LOL
“Explain the problem with Jews
Anyone”.
I can’t say for certain, but a lady friend (NC Jehovah’s Witness, FWIW) recently said they discuss among themselves how they’ve fooled/tricked non-Jews in transactions.
Her story dovetailed with a single account I heard (directly) in college—1961. (A Virginia Jew—Southern accent and all...)!
But these fall-in among multiple (US) stories I’ve heard about the “Romas”, too.
