The Lufthansa Anti-Semitism Fiasco In Frankfurt

“He flew back through Frankfurt that evening and had to overnight there to fly in Singapore nonstop from Frankfurt to JFK the next morning, but it felt nauseating for him to be in Frankfurt.“
Can’t figure out what this means!?

Dan is referring to Singapore Airlines that flies a 5th freedom flight NYC to/from Frankfurt.  The passenger headed back to the US the next morning, and spent the night in Frankfurt before flying Singapore Airlines’ daytime Frankfurt to NY flight. Not sure how to write that succinctly, but I’ll leave it to the experts.

Perhaps Dan can adjust it for clarity.

I agree that it's a difficult sentence to understand, there's lots of extraneous information.

This is better I think:

His return flight from [xxxxx] involved an overnight layover in Frankfurt, but the idea of spending the night there was so nauseating that.....

Are those drawn weapons absolutely necessary ? What are they afraid of, that Jews will try to escape Germany ?

Looks the same as what they responded to me, what does this add?

Yeah, the big machine guns, as if anyone of the passengers were a threat. I’m actually surprised by how calm people are, I’m outraged watching the videos.

How would you have responded facing a machine gun with a German behind it telling you how he’s just following orders ?

My two sentences (about outrage and about machine guns) aren’t about the same video. I’m referring e.g. to the video of the employee who says this was about Jews from JFK, which seems to be from the rebooking desk or the like (in any case not at the gate with the police), I would have been outraged to hear those words from her. Not sure I would have said anything different than the passenger you hear in the video, but my blood would be boiling.

I’m surprised they didn’t ask to speak to the officer in charge, and to clarify which law they are violating that the police are enforcing. Also, I can’t believe they let that Lufty higher up just walk away, they didn’t even ask the police to stop him so he can offer a better explanation than he gave on the loudspeaker. After all, the cops kept saying it’s Lufthansa that’s calling the shots, so insist on them bringing someone from Lufthansa to talk about it. I’m not judging the passengers for what they did or didn’t do or say, I’m just outraged at what I’m seeing.

Right, you can hear it. Idk, a part of me wants to scream just wanting him, or compel the passenger speaking in the video to scream. He’s restraining himself so it doesn’t escalate, but it’s maddening!

People asked for higher ups but the cops ignored them.

"German officers with machine guns drawn at unarmed Jews were just following orders"
