Shocking case in the US: A group of ultra-Orthodox Jews were taken off a flight by the American airline Frontier. The passengers who also filmed the case claim that they were taken off the plane due to the fact that their one-year-old baby was not wearing a mask.
The photos show all the passengers on the plane, including the ultra-Orthodox wearing masks, but the airline claims that a large group of passengers refused to wear a mask and as a result the flight did not take off from Miami to New York, according to US media reports.
The airline claims that, “a large group of passengers were asked several times to wear masks, but they refused to do so and as a result, measures were taken against them and according to the law.”
A passenger named Hershey Greenbaum who was on the flight told the New York Post that “the reason they were taken off the plane was because the one-year-old baby was not wearing a mask. The father further told the flight attendant to try to get the baby to wear a mask but it did not run her.”
As can be seen in the documentation and according to Hershey Greenbaum’s statements to the American media, the passengers supported the family and told them not to allow the plane crew to act in this way. Some flying passengers shouted that this was an antisemitic case.
