Religious fanaticism against Jews in the USA?

[InvestigateTruth]

Do you think a significant number of people, and specially fanatical Christians are prejudiced against Jews in the USA?

What do you think about this news:

Family kicked off American Airlines flight after body odour complaints

As the Israelis have become more and more violent and oppressive toward the Palestinians (using U.S. taxpayer's money), I have noticed an increase in anti-Israeli commentary and sentiment in the U.S.,. But this has very little to do with religious antisemitism. As it is primarily political in nature.

I think, given several passengers, and crew complained of excessive body odor, that the family got kicked off the flight for that reason alone. Good on American Airlines. I've been on a couple of flights where this has been an issue with a passenger near me. I didn't even realise I could complain until this story came up. Not a religious story at all.

Yeah. Jews aren't the problem. The explosion of xenophobic terroristic governments are the problem and they're all over the place.

What I notice....
The more fundie the Christian, the more pro-Israel / pro-Jew / anti-Muslim they are.

You probably didnt read the whole story.

“As I go to the gate…they are all holding their nose, using paper to blow around their nose, you know pretending it smells,” the man said. “That was upsetting, that the man said ‘Oh you Orthodox people don’t take showers,’ that’s what he told me. He thought we don’t take showers for that.

Of course I read the whole story. Very often people who have BO are so used to it they don't notice. If there is some sort of systematic discrimination against Jewish folk, this (and a lot of other stuff) would have happened many times before. I'm sure the BO must have been pretty bad. But it does remind me of people who proselytise in countries where it's illegal, and then go on claiming it's religious discrimination.

In my first year of teaching, the principal had to send this one young man home a few times for the same reason. Eventually counseling helped him overcome his personal hygiene problem. Once we had a minority race kid being a real jerk in school. The dad came in, all angry that we were racially discriminating against his kid. Fortunately there were some scenes caught on video, and the dad relented. The kid was being a jerk.

I'm guessing this happens fairly often, but only made the news this time because he falsely accused the airline of discrimination. Most people would be totally embarrassed to have this in the news.


Body odor just one reason airlines might boot you from flight

IT, here's a similar story, except that this time the false accusation was that it was racial discrimination. I wonder how long it'll take the judge to throw it out of court.

Well I dont believe anyone said that.

anyone but themselves.

Maybe my nose is too fussy but it happens
often enough that some lady has sloshed
cheap perfume all over herself. It can
be really sickening. It certainly is rude!!

Others will just plain stink with BO.

For multiple people and flight attendants
to say it was too much, well, it was.

Flight attendants were taking a career -ending
risk.

Perfume really gets me. I have some allergies. Sneezing and headache mostly. Encountered it once on a plane, but it was the flight attendant, not another passenger. Flatulence, you can't really escape ... one of the pitfalls of flying, but at least it's temporary.

Perfume allergy can be very serious.
Maybe it will be a public health/ civil
rights issue some day.

We in landlording & construction have had odor issues...
- Workers who smell like they take bathroom breaks without bathrooms.
- Workers with BO so bad, I had to expand a friend's vocabulary with "acrid".
- Tenants who....ugh...you get the picture.
Oh, the hygiene stories I could tell....they could gag a Scot.

Oh, honestly now, nothing is that bad.

And the things I've avoided smelling.
Guess what happens when....nah...I deleted what I started posting.

That must be beyond tolerable to gag a Scot. I don't know how people in long term care facilities even manage. Skunk is pleasant compared to that.

Aye, skunk is tame compared what some humans can generate.

I was new to the USA and had no idea
there was such a thing as the skunk.

Country road, windows open. Just like that
from fresh cool country air, then suddenly
from nowhere it is like landed a thick wet
blanket of the most disgusting Unbelievable
horrible smell!!! Choking, like it...well, never
mind. Americans know.

I could not believe such a thing could happen!

I guess my shock and confusion was funny to
the others, at least after most of the stench
was wind-washed out of the car.

Much worse if the family dog on a farm gets nailed. It will last far longer.
