As per claims made by the Isreal Minister, the kids were singing Hebrew songs on the plane, which didn’t sit well with the staff members of the Vueling airline as they allegedly said that “Isreal is a terrorist state and forced the children off the aircraft,” as claimed by Chikli.
What Did the Camp Organizers Say?
The organizers of the camp claimed that the kids were treated unfairly because of their identity, while accusing the Vueling airline of antisemitism. Though, the Spanish airline has denied all these allegations.
Holiday camp organisers have meanwhile vowed to file a legal complaint against Spanish airline Vueling over the expulsion of French Jewish teenagers after Spain’s Civil Guard said 44 minors and eight adults were taken off the plane and one person was arrested.
What Did the Vueling Airline Say?
On Thursday, the airline released a statement claiming that the group of children displayed “highly disruptive behavior,” while adding that the group had adopted a very “confrontational attitude.” The also alleged that the group was putting the safe conduct of the flight at risk. They also claimed that the group tampered with the emergency equipment of the flight.
They alleged that the staff members had warned them multiple times but their behavior continued, which led the staff members to call the Spanish authorities.
Les détracteurs de @vueling parlent d'enfants alors qu'il s'agit de 44 adolescents de 13 à 15 ans selon l'organisateur Kineret du camp de Sant Carlès près de #Valence

What Did the Witnesses Say?
Meanwhile, the witnesses revealed another side of the story as they said the group had boarded the plane very calmly. A 17-year-old teenager, who was part of the group, stated that one of his friends shouted a word in Hebrew very loudly. He admitted that his friend may have been very loud, but they immediately stop after being warned. While the parents of the kids alleged that the removal happened because one of the kids sung a Hebrew song.
While some social media users have claimed that the Kinneret summer camp were signing Death to the Arabs and assaulted the flight crew members, these reports are unverified with other reports and witnesses on the plane claiming the students were just singing a Hebrew song.
THE VUELING FIASCO JUST GETS WORSE AND WORSE FOR THE JEW-HATING AIRLINE
The big bad offence, was one kid, who said a single word in Hebrew — loud enough to be heard.
That's all it took for the crew to call the Gestapo.
