More Haredis set bad example by forging permits for flying on airlines while infected with Covid19
Authorities suspect passengers on a so-called rescue flight from New York to Tel Aviv Sunday boarded the plane with forged negative coronavirus tests, while carrying the pathogen.I may have mentioned this before, and will again: I once noticed some Haredi passengers at an Italian airport ducking under some divider rails so they could reach the customs line faster. But this is taking things to a whole new level. Especially when you consider the following:
At least 11 of the ultra-Orthodox passengers on the flight, approved despite the general flight ban to enable Israelis abroad to return to the country, have been diagnosed with the virus since arriving, sending dozens of passengers on the flight into quarantine.
Passengers report hearing some of those same passengers boasting they had acquired fake negative test results to board the flight.
A passenger tells Channel 12 the ultra-Orthodox passengers also failed to wear masks for much of the time and stood near other passengers. He says repeated requests to flight attendants to enforce mask-wearing and distancing did not help, and that the latter were afraid of confronting the Haredi passengers on the matter.Whether the attendants were worried the Haredis would act violent or infect them with illness, it makes no difference. This is a textbook example of people acting "cucked" and not showing the guts to bravely face potential criminals and make clear their misbehavior will be penalized. They should be banned from the airline for their violations, and it'll remain to be seen if they have the guts to do even that. Even the airline staff should be penalized for not enforcing laws properly.
The Health Ministry in coordination with other investigative authorities is probing whether the passengers forged their tests.
I don't know if the following is related, but in better news, some Haredi families who broke the law were deported:
Israel has prohibited the entry of two ultra-Orthodox families from the U.S. into the country after they presented forged entry permits from the Ministerial Exceptions Committee.Again, it's not clear if these were any of the same people as before, but what is clear is that these are scoundrels who believe it's permitted to exploit non-Haredis and disobey their laws no matter what. For that, those who were deported deserved to be thrown out of the country.
The first family of 13 was deported back to New York Wednesday night, while the Population and Immigration Authority was examining further actions against the second family of seven whose mother is an Israeli citizen.
Ben Gurion Airport has been shuttered to all commercial flights in order to battle the spread of new coronavirus variants, with all arrivals needing a written permit from the Exceptions Committee to enter Israel via one of the country’s rescue flights.
Due to the overwhelming amount of Israelis stranded abroad. however, the waiting period for such a permit is often lengthy.
"I submitted three applications until they let me return from the work trip I was on," said Shlomi, who waited for two weeks before receiving a permit. "It became clear to me after a week that two of my requests had been lost. I had to wait, submit documents over and over again and fight for a plane ticket while some groups decided to simply forge a permit.”
The Population and Immigration Authority said in response, "two families arrived on a United flight that landed from New York. One family of 13 foreign nationals presented forged permits and were denied entry.”
“A second family whose mother is an Israeli citizen, the father is a foreign national and six children, also arrived with fake permits. Their issue is being handled in a specific manner in accordance with their specific situation. In any case, the police were called to deal with the forgery of the documents which constitutes a criminal offense."
On Tuesday, it was revealed that eleven people who landed at Ben Gurion Airport on an El Al rescue flight from New York on Sunday tested positive for coronavirus after apparently presenting a falsified negative test required to board the plane.
