B6 Kicks off Jew After Arab Complains
Jewish Doctor: Booted Off Plane When Arab Complained About Me
According to the article (and the other ones), the passenger was on the phone discussing the situation in Israel and an Arab woman heard her, verbally abused her, and complained that she didn't feel comfortable flying with the doctor. Flight staff booted the Jew.
In each article, B6 says that "the woman was removed from the flight, but the story isn't as she claims." Except they refuse to say what they claim happen. This is quite troubling to hear

There are 2 sides to every story
I wonder if anyone video taped what was happening via cellphone. I suspect we are seeing only one side of the story.

Looks like propaganda to me. It's very unfortunate that the airline is always the victim when people decide to tell biased stories to the news media when they don't get their way, and then the news media reports it for the attention-grabbing shock value, for the purpose of making money.

Can we reanimate Paul Harvey and get "The Rest of the Story"?

There is another side to this story: http://flyingwithfish.boardingarea.c...ew-racist-next
As this is about politics and not the airline, I'm closing this thread. If someone cares to take the matter up in omni, they may do so.

JetBlue said that there was an incident on the plane, but that the report received by the airline described the incident very differently from Rosenberg’s description.
