31. This behaviour is seen quite often on Aussie domestic fl
aliza   (02.22.15)
where the passenger is usualyy drunk and abusive. They are duly arrested at airport on arrival.
32. Ban
lior ,   israel   (02.22.15)
In my opinion they should have bought some charges against these three rude passengers.
33. Why weren't these passengers arrested?
(02.22.15)
is that because they are Jewish? Any non Jewish (and especially Arab) who would act the same would be arrested if not shot on board! FAA rules are really clear. Any passenger disrupting the flight and potentially thwarts its security must be arrested
34. another reason I don't fly Israeli airlines
Non Jewish immigrant ,   haifa   (02.22.15)
And neither suggest to do so.
35. Disgusting but beware of wild generalizations
Leonie Lachmish ,   Mercaz Shapira   (02.22.15)
These people are the Israeli equivalent to British football hooligans. Why do we feel such shame when we have nothing to do with them, when as Britons, neither we nor any of our non-Jewish friends in Britain, felt shame over football hooligans? Or skinheads? I agree this needs to be clamped down on. But please don't use this for general Israel-bashing. They don't represent Israel just as the football hooligans don't represent Britain. They should have been arrested on arrival at BG Airport. Why weren't they? Can an arrest not be made even now with the video evidence? We need zero tolerance for violence. But beware of wild generalizations about "Israelis" .
36. This happens everywhere
Claude ,   UK and Cape Town   (02.22.15)
On UK charter flights, on trains and buses. It's almost a daily occurrence on UK charter flights to the trash boozy resorts that attract so many yobs. These passengers should be named and shamed, passports removed and a very heavy fine.
37. I don't see any problem here
Billy Billionaire ,   Caesarea   (02.22.15)
We have a private jet, a 20M machine I was able to get for only 10M when the global depression hit (ha ha, I made a fortune out of it!) - and when we need to go somewhere we fly private. I'd urge Israelis with anger management problems to do the same then there won't be any chocolate issues.
38. 35. Would you say the same about Arabs?
(02.23.15)
beware of generalising. All Arabs aren't terrorists.
39. Why did the stewardess refuse?
Alan ,   Tel-Aviv   (02.23.15)
The article fails to mention why the stewardess refused to sell the woman the chocolate. I'm not excusing the woman's (or her compatriots) behavior, but I'd like to know for what reason the stewardess refused to sell her the chocolate in the first place.
40. re: why did the stewardess refuse?
ido ,   petach tikva, israel   (02.23.15)
well first of all he probably didnt agree because how she talked to him, you may argue that she yelled after he refused but probably she wasnt polite at all when she asked for the chocolate (an assumption, i am not sure but i think thats why). and second of all i think they were to nice to her, try things like that on a us flight and they would send your ass right away to a federal prison.
41. re: glad i'm not married to the woman screaming and pointing
ido ,   petach tikva, israel   (02.23.15)
well, her husband is the guy that cursed and yelled in the end and said and i quote:""I don't give a f*** about you, you a**hole!". and if you ask how do i know it is her husband i will reply that after reading more about this incident it stated that he was her husband, i guess i just gave you a new perspective on what you said.
42. re: why did the stewardess refuse?

He didn't refuse to sell her the chocolate. As far as I understand, he was just servicing another customer and instead of waiting, the woman started shouting her order and abusing him.
