Should Ultra-Orthodox Jews be allowed on planes?

The neatest solution would be for churchy to complete his gender reassignment surgery as he'll refuse to sit next to them too. .

Some people don't need a sex change to be a c unt!

That doesn't make sense.

It's amazing the stirring up of racial hatred that the newspapers are currently doing. Not just for Jews, but Muslims aswell.

First it was a hastily sellotaped note on a wall in Stamford Hill saying men and women should walk on different sides of the road. The Daily Mail, being a knee-jerk newspaper obviously thought it was completely true and gave Margery in Tunbridge Wells something to moan about.

Now we get this story in the Telegraph. EL AL is an Israeli airline.. let them sort out the problem! We don't need the Telegraph's help FFS.

I saw the notices thingy. Quite funny I thought. If people want to choose which side of the road to walk on then its freedom of choice. Like wearing a face veil.

But when your freedom of choice disrupts others it becomes an issue. If you want to stand on a bus or train then fine. But on an aeroplane for take-off its dangerous.

I agree with Sue Ellen. Segregated flights is the way to go. Amazed EL AL don't do this.

Don't you understand composition and inheritance?

I think this is the main point... that people's religions, customs or behaviour shouldn't infringe upon the rights of others. People rightly get upset when this happens, but I think the notice in Stamford Hill was put up by someone as a provocation (and a good Daily Wail news story).

The orthodox Jews generally keep to themselves. They are a closed community and aren't really representative of secular Jews such as myself.

They do not represent me, nor my views either. Shana Tova, Santa!

The notice in Stamford Hill was put up because there was a religious festival. There were a lot of notices but this particular notice was left up by mistake and it became a news story thanks to social media and the DM. Next year the notices will not have any English on them to avoid upsetting the non-Jewish residents of the area.

I only know this because local London news programs picked up the story and explained the background.
