Well their name is "Lufthansa German Airline"
Still, it may seem like going against "the german's" when the target is Lufthansa

Truly shocking behavior, both the way it is institutionalized and that no one spoke up publicly. Lufthansa's statements are pathetically ridiculous. Also typical of an airline to use police to shield themselves from having to deal with their customers.

In another of Yitzy Schmidt’s videos, people can be heard asking the police, “Why do hate us?"

It should say "why do you hate us?"

It doesn't seem like you have first hand reporting on what took place within the main economy section during the initial flight.
I understand that even if there would have been  major compliance issues within that section that does not in any way excuse denying boarding to anybody that did comply but i do feel the article is missing part of the picture as to what actually took place within the main economy section during the flight

Suggestion: Add an opening paragraph that sums up the crux of the atrocity before you explain the background. For example:

"More than 100 visibly Jewish passengers were denied boarding on a Lufthansa Airlines plane after a few unrelated Jews were alleged to have failed to follow mask guidelines on a previous flight, numerous eyewitnesses told me. Video shared with DansDeals seems to confirm that all Jews were banned because it was "Jewish people" who "made the problems" on the earlier flight, an eerie reawakening of collective punishment meted out by a German airlines against anyone with a Jewish appearance.

Last week, thousands of Jews made an annual pilgrimage to visit the grave of Rabbi Yeshaya Steiner..."


(This is called an "inverted pyramid" in journalism terms. It allows readers to get the main news in the first paragraph, which piques their interest and gives them a perspective through which to understand the rest of the article.)

I understood that to mean that they were not part of any group booking.

In the video you can hear people saying leigen Oder beigin..

But I think they didn’t say it the right way that’s why it didn’t work, suppose to say R Shaya hut gezugt…
