Airline denies claims passengers were kicked off a plane because they are Jewish
Some passengers were removed from a flight heading for Paris for what Spanish police described as unruly behaviour


An airline who kicked off a number of passengers from a flight has denied doing to because they were Jewish.

Several dozen passengers were removed from a flight leaving Valencia for Paris for what Spanish police and the airline described as unruly behaviour.

Some Israeli news outlets reported that the students are Jewish and that their removal was religiously motivated.

The claim that was repeated by an Israeli minister online.

Vueling, the carrier, denied reports that Wednesday’s incident, which involved the removal of 44 minors and eight adults from flight V8166, was related to the passengers’ religion.

Spain’s Civil Guard said the minors and adults are French nationals.

A Civil Guard spokesperson said the agents involved were not aware of the group’s religious affiliation.

A Vueling spokesperson said the passengers were removed after the minors repeatedly tampered with the plane’s emergency equipment and interrupted the crew’s safety demonstration.


“A group of passengers engaged in highly disruptive behaviour and adopted a very confrontational attitude, putting at risk the safe conduct of the flight,” Vueling said in a statement.

“We categorically deny any suggestion that our crew’s behaviour related to the religion of the passengers involved.”

A Civil Guard spokesperson said the captain of the plane ordered the removal of the minors from the plane at Valencia’s Manises Airport after they repeatedly ignored the crew’s instructions.

On Thursday, the Federation for Jewish Communities of Spain expressed concern about the incident.

The group said that Vueling needed to provide documentary evidence of what happened on the plane.

“We are particularly interested in clarifying whether there were any possible religiously discriminatory motives toward the minors,” the group said.

“The various accounts circulating on social media and in the media to which we have had access do not clarify the cause of the incident,” the organization said.

The Civil Guard said 23 minors and two adults from the group boarded a flight belonging to another airline, while the rest spent Wednesday night at a hotel.

The spokesperson said arrangements were being made for them to leave Valencia later on Thursday.

Where's your evidence of this? Where? You're desperate for this to be true...

People like you make Jews into victims by the hate and the lies you spread.

Ironically you’re the only person that conflates Israel and its actions with Jewish people when you constantly accuse critics of Israel of antisemitism

…for anyone who can read Spanish, a Spanish article also…

I have never said anyone criticising Israel is anti-Semitic just for criticising Israel. I criticise anti-Semitic Jew haters, like you, of being anti-Semitic.

Okay, we can all see exactly what you’re continuously allowed to do on here :joker:

No Liam, it's not me, it's definitely YOU! You're anti Semitic, you lump all Jews in together with Israelis and hate and blame us all. I'm "getting away" with nothing, I assure you. You, on the other hand....

The lies don’t work anymore, get a new routine, people won’t be stopped from criticising a country/government that’s actively committing genocide, by people painting everyone as Jew haters, it worked in the past, but no more thankfully

…an apparent official statement by the airline…/Vueling Airlines…

You are a Jew hater, I don't think it's malicious, I think you genuinely misunderstand what anti-Semitism means. Hate on Israel all day if you like, but when you try to hold ALL Jews to account, like you have on this very thread, the jig's up. You called French kids Israeli because they're Jewish. You really should try to look this stuff up.

I don't know what you're moaning about. Admin backs you, you're still here and not banned like you would be if you'd spoken about all Muslims the way you speak about all Jews, not just Israelis.

Barry Edit Your Title

Remove Jewish


Put Young Folk removed from Plane

Or something Like that

Oh were they not Jewish? I’ll change the title

I think they were Jewish. Nothing wrong with stating that.

Completely delusional

An airline can come up with 100 reasons to remove people from a plane that are not controversial, so it's unlikely they would hang their hat on a controversial reason.

For example, if someone is drunk on a plane and call someone a *******, they say they were thrown off for being drunk

Nothing I said was false

I don't even bother reporting you anymore.

That’s probably a good bit of time saved for everybody, rather than having to deal with your endless false accusations

…I have watched just a tiny bit of the video footage of one of the children being detained/handcuffed…and it doesn’t have complete context, I realise …but an initial thought for me is that it’s very heavy handed and perhaps unnecessary to use such force with children of age 10-15yrs old… but I can’t really say much more because the full ‘disruptive actions’ and context isn’t there that caused to pilot to make the decision they did…

You really believe my accusations are false, don't you. I actually feel a little pity for you...

So, no more evidence of this Hebrew song they were supposedly singing calling for the death of Arabs?

Okay :joker:

zero so far

Is this another classic case of fake news/misinformation that so many lap up without any actual evidence?

Absolutely nothing.

Just another excuse for Liam to spew his hatred of Jews towards an openly Jewish person.

I mean we have the literal statement from the Airline saying it had nothing to do with any songs that they were removed.
