For future reference, how does one do this?
most phones and computer have a recycling bin type folder where deleted files go for a bit before being permanently deleted

+1, this all makes more sense now. The advocacy part of my job was done when it got the MSM and ADL attention it deserved.
Though I still want to make a wrap-up post or 2.
Thoughts on this draft post before I publish?
Any other follow-up that I missed in the past week?

“On May 4th, they denied boarding to 127 Jewish passengers going from Frankfurt to Budapest and the Lufthansa rebooking counter told many of them that they were banned them from flying Lufthansa for 24 hours.”

Credit goes to those passengers who were willing to put their names out

Lufthansa issued an apology

"Their “creative” solution was to apologize to a Rabbi in Berlin and let him know that they had suspended at least 1 employee involved..."


I would change the wording. This is your own conjecture, and you don't want Lufthansa to be able to sue you. I would instead write something along the lines of "In what may have been a creative solution, the Lufthansa CEO called a Rabbi..."

How much time do we have?  I'm a slow writer...
So far, I'm confused in the first couple paragraphs - why was the first flight May 3 and second May 4?  Was there an overnight wait between flights? 

"The story was shocking, but equally shocking was the utter dearth of coverage on it. "
The lack of coverage seems to me "surprising", more than "shocking", and certainly not equal in shockitude to the story.

"...YouTube and Instagram removed our video of the Lufthansa Supervisor’s comments, due to the video being anti-Semitic"
 
claiming that the video was anti-Semitic or due to the agent's comments being anti-Semitic"
(otherwise it sounds like you're agreeing with them that the video is problematic)

Yeah, I figured, but it stopped the flow of my reading, trying to figure it out.  When first hearing the story, I had assumed that there was a brief wait between flights, but seeing the May 3-4 dates, I started to think maybe there was a 5-10 hour wait between flights.  Were the passengers without food?  Had they slept over in the airport?  Did LH know that they weren't going to be allowed on, but didn't tell them for hours?  Or was it more like "An hour after landing in Frankfurt, the connecting flight to Budapest was announced, but 127 Jewish passengers were denied..."

"... to apologize to a Rabbi in Berlin "
I saw this more as an apology through a Rabbi in Berlin.

(And my speculation is that the reason the rest of the conversation wasn't made public was because it was mostly in one direction, Rabbi T providing advice and information, rather than the CEO admitting to anything.  But I'm also "creative", have no evidence for this...)
