– During covid some orthodox Jewish passengers allegedly refused to follow the rules over masks and not gathering in the aisles.
– Lufthansa decided to kick all orthodox Jews off the plane because it was “not practical to address each passenger individually”
– Passengers interviewed said they didn’t see any misbehaviour, and Lufthansa could not identify any individuals responsible at a later date.
– Record $4 million fine.

I agree with the punishment for Lufthansa. Collective punishment is always bad.
