An antisemitic incident occurred last night (Wednesday) at the airport in Valencia, Spain, when 52 Jewish teenagers from France who were at a summer camp in the country were removed from a flight, simply because they were singing traditional songs in Hebrew.
The cadet instructor, a 21-year-old woman, was forcibly removed from the plane - and according to the report, "detained and beaten."
According to testimonies from the incident, during the flight, the crew members' attitude towards the children was "hostile," and according to several witnesses, the crew members compared the teenagers, aged 13 to 15, to "terrorists," while claiming that Israel is a "murderous state."
A passenger who was present on the flight wrote on his Instagram account: "No one on the plane understood what happened. The children boarded without shouting, and behaved well towards teenagers. Even when they got off the flight, they did so calmly."
The mother of one of the children said that the staff threatened the children that the police would come if they continued to make noise or sing, and added that a few minutes later, without further intervention by the staff members, the police arrived.
Diaspora Minister Amichai Shikli posted on his Twitter account documentation of the arrest of the camp instructor, and wrote: "In line with Hamas' campaign of lies, which is being broadcast by 'Al-Jazeera', 'Haaretz' and others, we have recently witnessed many serious anti-Semitic incidents, and this is one of the most serious."
