    Photographer Yossi Davidov his three companions began arguing with flight attendants over taking camera equipment onto the flight, which flight attendants thought to be overweight, and wanted to check in, reports Ynet News (http://bit.ly/1LjMeBB).

    Davidov reportedly told police they didn’t like him or his companions because they are Jewish, and first told police he only spoke Hebrew and didn’t understand them, then began speaking English.

    Some of the more than 220 passengers on the flight called Davidov’s actions embarrassing.

    Davidov’s lawyer said the flight attendant was Muslim, and that she saw Davidov wearing a Jewish Star of David necklace and wanted to get “back at him” by not allowing the camera equipment on board.

    The airline said the crew offered to store the equipment in the luggage compartment, but the passengers refused.

    Davidov was charged with attacking an officer and causing a disturbance. He was released with a 100 Euro ($113) fine.

    This type of behavior invites and perpetuates antisemitism. Foolish and injurious to us all.

    Bravo to Reb Davidov. Having personally experienced anti Semitisim on a flight to Germany, I salute this Yid.

    Yes, but most photographers would not allow their expensive equipment, upon which their livelihood depends, to be separated from them.
    There are two sides and don’t judge…

    I agree with No. 1. The Israeli who was thrown off the flight was obnoxious, and his conduct in public was a shanda. The flight was going to EY from Austria. There were other Israelis on that flight, who were embarrassed by that character.

    What since it was going from Vienna to Tel Aviv I have to assume it was an Austrian Airlines flight. Of course, what self respecting Yid would book passage on that airline is beyond me. Honestly, I’d rather fly Lufthansa than Austrian…at least the Germans own up to what they did.

    I have flown Austrian many times. I am an orthodox Jew and easily identifiable as such. The flight crews have only ever been very helpful and pleasant but then I haven’t tried to lug lots of professional equipment on board in breach of the carry on regulations and then been unpleasant to the flight attendants. Not every action critical of an Israeli is anti semitic and constantly referring to the holocaust is not helpful. Instead of being a light unto the nations they are very often just simply obnoxious.
