Bus Drivers “Walk Off” to Stop Jews From Joining DC Rally

There were hundreds of thousands of people at the pro-Israel march in Washington yesterday, but there were even more who wanted to attend but were intentionally blocked from doing so. Hundreds of Jewish people and other supporters flew from Detroit to Dulles Airport in Virginia yesterday morning to attend the rally. But upon landing, the charter buses that had been arranged to take them to the march failed to appear. They were initially given conflicting stories about what was causing the delay but later learned that the bus drivers had staged an intentional “sick-out” that day to avoid having to drive the Jews into the capital. The work stoppage was referred to as an “anti-protest,” but it was clearly antisemitic in nature and intended to block the travelers. The company may be facing legal issues over this, but the damage has already been done. Most of the people were kept at the airport all day and never made it to the rally.Read More
