Kicked an orthodox Jewish passenger off a flight due to the actions of an unrelated orthodox Jew.
This story was so outrageous I had to investigate, and after talking to the two passengers involved, the story seems even worse than I thought!

The Story Of Yigel Yaakov:
A sofer (or Judaica store owner) tells the story of returning to work after Simchas Torah and calling customers to pick up their orders of Tefillin when one order caught his eye – the customer was from Nir Oz.
He texted the customer, Renana Yaakov, to

This "apology" is a cop-out.
It calls the denied passengers a large group, when in fact there were several dozen Jews on the flight who were denied boarding, despite not being part of any group!
This apology skirts the primary issue of racial profiling by

employees.
Lufthansa regrets the circumstances surrounding the decision to exclude passengers from flight LH 1334 on May 4. Lufthansa sincerely apologizes. Please find our statement below:
LOST?!?
Jews are NOT dogs that get lost and are then found. Emily was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists, are you not able to say that?
Is this seriously the Prime Minister Of Ireland's account and not a parody account? Can't even tell the difference anymore.
This is a day of enormous joy and relief for Emily Hand and her family. An innocent child who was lost has now been found and returned, and we breathe a massive sigh of relief. Our prayers have been answered.
Thank you

1 tefillin wrapped for Israel!
For every person that wraps Tefillin with me today, I will donate one pair of Tefillin ($600) to a soldier in the IDF.
