Well they didn't. Maybe because Muslims not Jews are being seriously discriminated against in the USA.
Also, maybe cause they were "religious" they got away with more than you or I would? God knows priests get away with a lot as well!
I doubt that is correct. They were on an Israeli plane, go blame it on those guys not the US.
They were in New York, last I checked that's the USA not ISRAEL, regardless of the plane.
You mean they took off from NY. The 11 hour nightmare was the flight, and that wasn't under US rules.
You will find that in such cases the Captain actually is the captain, and makes all such decisions.
Regardless of where the aircraft is registered.
So although this is outrageous, and you and I are in total agreement there, I don't think it supports your premise of discrimination of "Muslims not Jews in the USA".
