11-hour flight delay all because idiots refuse to seat beside women in flight

Haredim refuse to sit next to women on El Al flight, causing ’11-hour-nightmare’

El Al passengers on New York-Israel flight claim Haredi men refused to sit next to women, even offering secular passengers money to switch seats, delaying flight’s departure.

ed note–this ’11-hour nightmare’ is but a small example of the disruptive effects these people have across the ENTIRETY of society on a global level. Although the story focuses on Haredim, the most ‘conservative’ of all Jewish society, the fact is that it is the ‘leaven of the Pharisees’–meaning Jewish thought–operating at ALL LEVELS that has brought the flight of human progress to a standstill. Whether it is the wars being fought for Jewish interests around the world, the imprisoning effects of usurious Jewish money systems, the destruction of the moral base of Gentile societies through Jewish control of media, the fact of the matter is that all the world is a 747 jet sitting on the runway of human progress but which is prevented from going forward because of the influence of one tiny, statistically-insignificant group of mentally-ill religious nutcases.

Furthermore, you can bet your last shekel that if this were a group of Muslims engaging in the same activity, they would have been hauled off and sent to jail, to say nothing of the MASSIVE media coverage this would have received.

On Wednesday morning, the eve of Rosh Hashanah, thousands of Israeli and Jewish passengers landed in Israel, including scores of ultra-Orthodox Jews who decided to celebrate the Jewish New Year in the Holy Land.

However, things didn’t go so smoothly on one El Al flight carrying a large group of haredim, as well as secular Jews, that departed from New York’s JFK and landed in Israel at 5 am Wednesday.

According to the passengers who were on the plane, their fellow ultra-Orthodox travelers refused to sit next to women prior to the takeoff, which not only delayed the flight, but caused actual chaos to ensue on the plane.

“People stood in the aisles and refused to go forward,” said Amit Ben-Natan, a passenger who was on board the plane.

“Although everyone had tickets with seat numbers that they purchased in advance, they asked us to trade seats with them, and even offered to pay money, since they cannot sit next to a woman. It was obvious that the plane won’t take off as long as they keep standing in the aisles.”

Passengers claimed that though the El Al flight crew informed them they do not have to agree to a switch, the flight’s captain said over the PA system that the flight would not take off as long as people were standing.

“This is completely inconsiderate of the non-haredi travelers. I don’t know many airlines that would allow their passengers to act like that,” said Bar Natan.

Galit, another traveler on the flight, said the ultra-orthodox passengers suggested she and her spouse split up to better accommodate their desired seating arrangements: “Why should I agree to switch places?” she said with anger.

After she refused, the haredi man seated next to her conceded, but it was only temporary: “I ended up sitting next to a haredi man who jumped out of his seat the moment we had finished taking off and proceeded to stand in the isle.”

It seems that after takeoff a large portion of the haredi travelers took to the isles to pray which, according to their fellow travelers, crowded the isles and caused the flight to be unbearable.

“I went to the bathroom and it was a mission impossible, the noise was endless,” Galit said.

In response, El Al promised to look into the issue, saying “El Al does everything it can to give its passengers the best possible service year-round. These days bring with them a peak in air traffic to Israel, and our crews on the ground and in the air are doing the best they can to address the needs and requests of all our travelers while trying not to fall behind schedule.

“The company will examine the complaints and if some passengers are found to have acted out of line the company will examine its future steps.”
