I see no mention of what happened to the checked in baggage, I'm sure out of 170 passengers some checked in. Were they taken off the line in FRA? Did they remove tags with Jewish sounding names? If they were flown to BUD then it probably caused a major headache for those passengers and I wonder how LH dealt with that.

But reading some of the comments doesn’t convince me to move back to Israel.

I’m not a native Israeli but Hebrew is almost my first language and I’m seeing what you’re seeing. BTW (and I don’t at all mean it condescendingly) our English is better than many native English speakers/Americans.
Is 'our' supposed to be 'your'?

Ouch, yes. Methinks I edited an earlier revision and inadvertently dropped the y.

The Tweet and the guy in the video say קבוצה or כל הקבוצה

The guy also makes it sound like LH reaccommodated them on other flights later that day, which isn’t at all what happened, as in fact affected passengers were subject to a 24 hour ban

עשרות יהודים חרדים לא הורשו לעלות על טיסת לופטהנזה, אחרי שלטענת החברה סירבו לעטות מסכות. הנוסעים האשימו את החברה באנטישמיות וטענו - רק חלק לא ציית לחוקים, אבל כל הקבוצה הורדה מהמטוס

Translation: Tens of chareidi Jews were denied boarding from a Lufthansa flight after the airline claimed they didn’t comply with mask policy. The travelers blamed the airline with antisemitism, claiming only some didn’t comply but the entire group was removed from the flight.

Do you have a better translation? BTW, I’m a native Israeli

Both the tweet and the video are explicitly quoting Lufthansa, it’s not presented as his own view

In the tweet it seems to be quoting the passengers האשימו את החברה באנטישמיות וטענו, but in any case it doesn’t seem they know the difference, the way it’s presented it seems like the media outlet thinks they were all in one group.

Credit given!
Barely. No linkback.

Bit of a catch-22 using DDF for edits. Article layout got better, but OJPAC and HaMeturgeman took it and the video and got the scoop after days of work on it.
C'est le vie.
