Hundreds of Jewish people headed to Tuesday’s pro-Israel rally in DC were left stranded when bus drivers staged “a deliberate and malicious walk-off,’’ a major Jewish organization said.
The “anti-protest” left a charted flight from Detroit — about 300 people — on the Dulles Airport tarmac for about 11 hours before being sent back home, causing them to miss the entire March for Israel event.
“I thought it was nuts, I thought it was crazy that we’re blocked from getting to the rally,” Jonathan Kaufman told The Post, adding that there were “frantic” calls to find out what was happening as they were stranded for hours.
“Our right to assembly is a constitutional right — and this was straight up blocking that.”
Kaufman and 900 others hopped on three private planes out of Detroit that were charted by the Jewish Federation of Detroit, which also booked several buses to transport the massive group of ralliers to the march at DC’s National Mall.
The three private planes out from Detroit were chartered by the Jewish Federation of Detroit, which also booked several buses to transport its nearly 1,000 ralliers to the march at DC’s National Mall.
A third of the passengers weren’t allowed to leave the tarmac, however, after several buses failed to show up on the tarmac upon their 10:30 a.m. landing, according to a federation spokesperson.
The drivers had organized a “mass sick out” day to prevent Jewish ralliers from attending the much-anticipated march, leaving just a handful available to meet their obligations.
“We have learned from the bus company that this was caused by a deliberate and malicious walk-off of drivers,” the spokesperson told The Post.

I hope the drivers are thrown out on their antisemitic a@@es, and that the bus company (1) refunds every penny they had been paid for the buses and (2) are sued right out of business.
Many Jews need to wake up to the fact that they are targets now and cannot take anything for granted.
And based on what Scripture states it’s going to be like for them during the Tribulation, it’s only going to get worse. Far worse.
I would think that if 300 people would pool their resources they could file a pretty powerful lawsuit against the drivers.
Depending upon when the bus co found about this labor action, I don’t see their liability past refunding the charter costs. The drivers, OTOH, should be fired tomorrow. The drivers are entitled to their free speech but they are not thereby allowed to use company assets to express same. Had the drivers drove their buses to the route and blocked the route, that would be essentially the same thing.
Let me guess the color of the drivers.
More than likely, most of those Jews were Democrats and all of the bus drivers who called out sick were Democrats. And the Jews will probably continue to vote Democrat.
1). The Left controls every institution in America.
2). Jews have been expelled from the Left Coalition
A supermajority of them wanted a leftist America.
They bought the ticket. They should enjoy the ride.
Those drivers should have their licenses yanked and never be allowed to drive for a living again.
And check their Green Cards, deport as indicated.
“Our right to assembly is a constitutional right -— and this was straight up blocking this.”
While I may support this group Jonathan Kaufman’s claim is straight up ridiculous.
I would think so, too. It was such a tremendous chutzpah to deny those people what they paid for, and make them feel helpless and impotent. If they had known people in the local Jewish community, I'm sure they would have shown up to transport them. Or found schoolbuses from local Jewish schools to do so, free.
If those were observant Jews, then most of them would have been Republicans. It's mostly liberal Jews who vote dimmocrap, because of their marginal connection with their own religion. They substitute secular causes for Jewish ones.
Your White Privilege is on the line.....
Hammie terrorist embeds in the US.
Mossad should find the drivers.
It’s NoVa, not surprised. Most shuttle and charter bus drivers are some form of muzzie. Yank their CDLs.
A plain filled with Jews landing in Michigan?
I’m surprised they weren’t attacked.
👍
This is a warmup, they’ll do this to christians too soon enough.

The difference with Dagestan is that the CIA isn’t using social media to rile up a moslem mob to attack jews at the airport. (at least not yet)
