Spokesman Peter Kowalchuk says in an email Wednesday to The Associated Press that the men and 35-year-old Shoshana Hebshi were removed without the crew being consulted.
Kowalchuk says passengers were concerned about “the suspicious activity of two gentlemen . and only two gentlemen” who were spending a lot of time Sunday in the plane’s bathroom.
Hebshi described herself as half-Arab and half-Jewish and said she was targeted because of her Middle Eastern appearance. Hebshi said she was forced off the plane in handcuffs, strip-searched and interrogated.
It is like saying you’re half-Canadian (for example – no insults intended) half Catholic. Half Jewish, Half Arab? So which half of this woman is Jewish – her left side or her right side?
Half Arab and half Jewish? Pick your side lady!
Here’s how the story should have ended: and no plane was blown up so an all in all success. Everyone involved is asked to move on, not speak to any lawyers as those love to plant ideas in peoples heads as to how they can enrichen their law practices & appreciate that their own wellbeing too is being looked after by US security departments.
She is half Arab and half Jewish – according to Jewish law religion goes by the mother, and according to Moslem law it goes according to the father.
