Another flight delayed: Ultra-Orthodox Jewish men and seat switching

07-01-2018, 02:32 PM

A frequent problem over the last few years involving flights to or from Israel has been Ultra-Orthodox Jewish men who refuse to sit next to women. They will simply stand so the flight cannot take off until they are accommodated. There have been calls to simply kick the men off the flight, but this apparently has not been happening.

It's happened again: https://www.timesofisrael.com/ultra-...-beside-women/

I would personally suggest they charter their own private jets if it means that much to them.

"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

I guess they'd sit next to a Gentile?

They could sit next to me (if I ever went to Israel). Mid flight I'd even offer to share some of my bacon.

I'm always still in trouble again

They can sit next to me too.

Then halfway into the flight I will tell them my name is Martha.
