Haredi men in cable car wouldn't ride with women
Another case not unlike the airplane scandals of recent turned up in Manara, this time involving a cable car service:
Three female tourists were barred from riding a cable car down the Manara Cliff in northern Israel because a group of haredi men would not ride with them.I think the women should sue the company for caving to discrimination, and the company itself should sue the Haredis for causing trouble. This is something that did not need to be.
The three women and their male tour guide waited a short time for the next car, Israel’s Channel 10 News reported.
“There was a specific group that requested of us, at a time when we were not experiencing heavy crowds, that when they go down in the cable car not to have men and women together. We agreed as a gesture of good will. They only waited a few minutes for the next car. We explained it very nicely to their guide. We won’t go on doing it, it was an isolated incident,” Doron Medina, director of the site in the Upper Galilee, told Channel 10.
Channel 10 reported that the site regularly accedes to such requests, including groups that do not want to ride with Arabs.
The site said in a statement to Channel 10 that management would conduct an investigation based on the issues raised in the report.
