Just my partner and myself. I don’t believe all of the chasidim were 1 group. Most were individual travelers.

I'm wondering, was this anti-semitism or was this profiling/grouping people based on some common ground? Are they two different things? And does it make a difference?

That's what I'm trying to get to the bottom of.
Interviewed 7 people today and still digging and learning more.

Isn’t it the same? I mean, obviously just saying “we don’t allow Jews on the flight” isn’t what happened. Taking one person’s wrongdoing and applying it to their “type” would be antisemitism or at least racism. Is that your question?

There's a movement amongst Macedonians to wear green shirts, a flight to Frankfurt departed with 270 passengers, amongst them 120 identifiable Macedonians with green shirts.

Several green shirted passengers fail to comply with crew, when it comes to the connecting flight airlines refuse to allow the green shirted Macedonians to board their connecting flight while allowing the remaining passengers.

Are they anti Macedonians? Anti green shirts?

Or are they doing a very wrong move by grouping people and punishing an unaffiliated group of people for the sin of other's?

Call it the way you like. Fact is, every single Jew (Chasidish looking) was denied boarding. They even announced a few Jewish names to board the flight but once they saw they are Jewish they were denied.

If the would’ve been a Non-Jew dressed like a Jew he would probably also be denied boarding.

It’s still anti-semitism.. In my opinion.

Crew and notate seat number
And they wouldn't even attempt this with BLM and other minorities

Was the primary driver of this fiasco anti Jewish hate ?

The fact that they thought they can get away with it ≠ it was driven by antisemitism
Jews ≠ Zionists
Palestinians ≠ Hamas
Satmar ≠ SatmarHQ

This is incorrect, but while fact checking this, I came across even crazier information.
Stay tuned...

If it was just grouping together innocent green-shirted people, that would probably just be wrong judgment. If the grouping is based on ethnicity or religion, that’s racism/antisemitism.
Change the Jews to African-Americans. What would that be considered?
