Woman kicked off plane after argument about Israel conflict (Jewish Woman Forced Off)
Palm Beach Post ^ | 7-12-2014 | Scott Heins

Dr. Lisa Rosenberg, a physician from New York, was returning home from vacation boarding a flight from PBIA to John F. Kennedy International Airport. She said she had just finished a phone conversation with a colleague when a woman said she was offended by Rosenberg’s remarks.

“I was saying how it was good Israel found the students that killed the Palestinian teenager and how it was exemplary not making them into heroes, but seeking to publicly try them,” Rosenberg said. “I said any other country would have made these students out to be martyrs and celebrating them.”

Rosenberg added that she had never heard of the Palestinians seeking the same sort of justice against one of their own people.

Wow. I am shocked. On what basis did they kick her off? I haven’t used Jet Blue since I flew up to Rochester to adopt a cat I’d seen on the internet (money WELL spent, she is my dearest little buddy). Haven’t used them since. And if this story is true, won’t ever use them again.

Well, I tend to get offended by any loud cell phone conversations on a plane, without regard to content.

Even still, be aware that you are being listened to.

Indeed. Especially for the bozos that talk so loudly you can hear them a block away.

She said “voices were raised” and that perhaps she was more vocal during the scene, but that it was because she felt victimized.

And there's the story behind the spin.

Even she admits she was being loud.

It's also pretty obnoxious in the first place to have a non-essential mobile phone call in the cramped quarters of an airplane.

I knew there had to be more to this story.

Just because she is right about terrorism doesn't mean she is right about travel etiquette.

FReepers should follow this story to see what pans out. And then, if the doctor's story is substantiated, we should FReep Jet Blue Airlines. If you don't want to be offended by a private phone call, don't listen, you yenta. Why couldn't Jet Blue have simply had the doctor switch seats so that she didn't have to sit next to a Pali yenta easedropper?

Let's not forget that Jet Blue recently made a toddler sit in her seat and wouldn't let her use the restroom, so she peed her pants right there in the seat.

Oh, and Jet Blue is on the "approved" list of the Liberal Shopping and Consumer guide posted on the Dailykuss website. That speaks volumes in itself.

And there's the story behind the spin.

Bingo - this is a small quiet airport and serves a lot of Neu Yoorkers. Now many people have a tendency to SHOUT into their cellphones when a whisper would do. Not to paint with a broad brush but Neuu Yooorkas seem to shout loudest and with the little mindfulness for those suffering around them.

So I am thinking there is more to this story and some justification for which person got the boot. It may have come down to relative obnoxiousness. The doctor seems to have won.

Flight stewards are all Stalin-wanna-bes. Probably a Muzzie flight steward or two. Kicking paying customers off airplanes is not rare. I’ve seen it many times and been kicked off once...from first class no less.

It’s gotten to the point that a muslim can bomb us, say he’s offended by being arrested just because he’s a muslim, then be let go. And half the people in this country would agree. These are the ones who yelled “Too soon! Too soon!”

I’ve flown a lot, and I’ve never gotten tossed off the plane. I guess I’m just not obnoxious and arrogant enough.

And I’ve never seen a muzzie flight attendant on a US carrier. Lots of fairies, but not muzzies. Most of the muzzies I’ve seen at the airport have been working for TSA.

We learned soon after 9-11 that passengers uncomfortable with what would appear to be muzzie scum on the plane, could request the scum be deplaned.
