1. clearly they weren't thinking! alternatively they were being
Winston ,   Israel   (03.13.12)
way too Israeli! But I do wonder: If on the same flight too Iranian men were discussing Israel in the same manner AND being disruptive - would they have been arrested?
2. The Theater of the Absurd!!!
Toto...from Kansas! ,   USA   (03.13.12)
And yet, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can threaten the total annihilation of a country, and still get a first-class ticket to the UN. Now, you tell me: doesn't this seem like, somewhat, screwed-up logic--oh, sorry...I forgot that I lived in the Twilight-Zone! Maybe tomorrow I'll wake-up from this nightmare that haunts me every freakin' day. Thank my lucky stars for sedatives...or, maybe a good stiff-drink will do just as well--hey, you gotta-a-light?
3. Funny Story
David ,   Herzlia,Israel   (03.13.12)
Two Israelis flying from Vegas to London ( about 10 hours) and speaking in ENGLISH? to each other and not in HEBREW ?? about Iran?, Story does not seem real?. I would love to hear the rest of the story ( after the arrest).
4. #3
Silky ,   Silkeborg, Denmark   (03.13.12)
I was thinking the exact same thing. Why would they be talking in English to each other and of course, as an Israeli, we/they would be discussing politics. Something which is not politically correct in America, or in it's airspace, apparently!
5. Then they let the Iranian President Board
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (03.13.12)
.....on a flight back from Tehran to the United Nations via Heathrow......Where he repeatedly says he is going to wipe the Jews off the Face of the earth with a nuclear weapon. Since he is Muslim....he gets a free pass on the genocide threat. He gets the Red Carpet at Heathrow....and Champagne for all his subordinates.
6. No different than when Americans arrested Jewish man praying
ARIEL   (03.13.12)
onboard an American airline because they got scared! Google it.. they even grounded the plane, passengers, staff and the captain never seen a man praying with a tefillin before..
7. #3 there were other Israelis onboard,incl bilingual speakers
Ori ,   Israel   (03.13.12)
that understand Hebrew, one day maybe you will be able to read Hebrew and maybe even use Ynet Hebrew..
8. #3 All flights with Israelis have hidden security to protect
Judith   (03.13.12)
Israelis and other passengers, regardless of what they were discussing. Not everything is a spin on 'hating Israel'.. In this case, its most like typical loud Israeli men excited about flying to Vegas..
9. Original news source of this isnt allowing talkbacks for
Gavriel, ,   W1   (03.13.12)
legal reasons, yet Ynet is. Is Ynet above the law on cases currently under investigation?
10. Politically Correct Brits
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (03.13.12)
In Britain you can bad-mouth Christians, Jews or any religion other than Islam. No-one should be surprised, if indeed this story is true. sounds crazy. And what does 'disruptive behavious' mean? maybe they were having a discussion israeli/Jewish style: talking loudly and waving their hands, probably getting really animated and jumping up and down in their seats. The problem with the Brits is they don't even begin to understand any culture other than their own.
11. #10 They bad mouth Muslims all the time in the Daily Mail..
Israeli 1   (03.13.12)
You are so out of touch, sweety. This has nothing to do with political correctness, no matter where you're from - it's pretty stupid to discuss bombs, attacking using an airplane and talk about the current route of the plane.. If you think this is ok.. then where were you on 9/11.....?
12. #9: Freedom of press
Igor ,   Germany   (03.13.12)
I don't know what "original source" you are referring to (Press TV? IRNA?), but in Israel they have an invention called "freedom of press".
13. Leshon Kodesh AND PRONOUCEABLE Yisraelit (few extra letters)
Jerry to #7 ,   The Netherlands   (03.13.12)
14. Hey, UK, I hope you will enjopy Iran
