Hundreds of Jewish people who flew to Washington, DC on Tuesday for the Pro-Israel march were stranded at the airport when bus drivers engaged in activism and staged a walkout.
How do people like this live with themselves?
The Detroit News reports:
Hundreds of Metro Detroit Jews stranded at D.C. airport by ‘malicious’ bus driversHundreds of members of Detroit’s Jewish community flew to Washington, D.C., to march in solidarity with Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza on Tuesday, but some of them say they had trouble participating because of what they said was a “malicious walk-off” by some bus drivers.Local members of the Jewish Federation of Detroit and the Jewish Community Relations Council went to the country’s capital to focus the national conversation on freeing the estimated 240 hostages Hamas took from Israel on Oct. 7, said David Kurzmann, senior director of community affairs at the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit.But some buses hired to transport “a significant number” of the groups’ participants from Dulles International Airport to the site of the march, according to Kurzmann, failed to appear, which delayed and in some cases prevented their arrival at the event.”We have learned from the bus company that this was caused by a deliberate and malicious walk-off of drivers. Fortunately, many were able to travel to the march, and we are grateful to the drivers of those buses that arrived,” Kurzmann said in a Tuesday statement.
AG Hamilton has a statement that was given to the travelers:
“The busses that were hired to take over 900 participants from Dulles International Airport to the site of the March failed to appear, delaying the arrival of many or most in our group. We have learned that this was caused by a deliberate and malicious walk-off of drivers. Fortunately, many were able to travel to the march and we are grateful to the drivers of those buses that arrived. While we are deeply dismayed by the disgraceful action, our resolve to proudly stand with the people of Israel to condemn anti-Semitism and to demand the return of every hostage held by Hamas has never been greater. This has been confirmed by the bus company of their bus drivers and what has happened”
These people deserve to be named and shamed.
