Man, those ultra-Orthodox Jews must NEVER get laid.
Ultra-orthodox Judaism forbids physical contact between men and women unless they are first-degree relatives or married to one another
They don’t fly well either.
Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Men Cause Flight Delay By Refusing To Sit Next To Women
I’m not even sure what to say about this that probably isn’t already obvious. The story itself says the women felt “bullied and harassed” — which is precisely how they should have felt.
I’d feel better if one or more of the women were quoted as saying “I told the cheeky bastard to buzz off. I’m not moving. If he doesn’t want to sit next to a woman, he can take a boat.”
There’s a Change.org petition to El Al Airline that is almost too even-handed, seems to me, suggesting fair solutions to solve the dilemma of the men. But the title is just right:
Stop the bullying, intimidation, and discrimination against women on your flights!
