My pleasure. Like I said on Twitter, kudos for actually reporting out the story rather than throwing up a few click bait headlines and getting clicks

Excellent article. I do agree that it needs a tl:Dr though. Quite a few people I want to forward it to that I know won't read the whole thing

That's what I did in the first section and why there's a TOC.

כל הכבוד

I don't understand the delay and what took so long. Competing sites like YWN were up with the full detailed and completely accurate story long before Dan, and they always have better headlines too. /s

On a serious note, Dan now that you put so much effort into compiling this, maybe you and other DDFers with connections can work on getting this into the national news in the US.

If you have a way to send out the video of the Lufthansa lady cued up to where she blames the Jews for the mess and with a pic of the armed cops, you could definitely get their attention.

Drudge loves exclusive Jewish/anti-Semitism stories, maybe a Politico leak, etc., plus elected officials (especially of the passengers on board) like Schumer and/or national groups like the ADL could definitely help this story get the attention it deserves.

I suspect Lufthansa will be happy to ignore it and let it go away (except in court). The only reason airlines care is the PR backlash (United and Dr. Dao and broken guitars), and here it's even harder when it's a European airline. Pushing it into MSM is the best (only) way to get their attention.

All the people involved were traveling till late Thursday, as well as the 2 agencies involved. Friday @Dan was working on the story full time, and every hour that went by he was talking with more and more people

We now have 3 threads discussing this, is the next thread to be hijacked going to be the halacha thread if we're allowed to accept wiedergutmachung?
Jews ≠ Zionists
Palestinians ≠ Hamas
Satmar ≠ SatmarHQ

A story about German police is more compelling and likely to go viral. Also, follow up tweets with more snippets will probably also help.
