Hundreds of Jewish Americans, on their way to Tuesday’s March for Israel at the National Mall in D.C., were left stranded on the tarmac of a local airport after their bus drivers coordinated a “mass sick out” day to prevent the travelers from attending the rally.
Around 300 of the 900 passengers flown in by the Jewish Federation of Detroit were left on tarmac of Dulles International Airport for nearly eleven hours, causing them to miss the entire March for Israel event before being sent back home. When several buses failed to appear upon their 10:30 a.m. landing, many travelers had no way to leave the

They were flying in from Tlaib's area. I wonder if her fingerprints are on the sick out. Note that it was worse than just missing the rally. They ended up being stuck at the airport until well after midnight.

All of the taxi drivers at Washington Dulles are Muslim. The contract for taxi service is owned by an Iranian. I'm sure the bus drivers are Muslim as well.

Sounds like a 'hate crime' to me.
Isn't that a federal crime?
Sue the bus company- for plane flights, stress, breach of contract, etc.

Muslim bus drivers, I'm sure. They should lose their jobs.

Metro trains go from Dulles straight into Downtown DC. Why didn't they just board the subway? Are they helpless? Pathetic!

The enemedia and the Deep State would've acted if the demonstrators were black and on the way to a civil rights rally. Hate crimes against Jews don't merit a response from these folks.

Number 9, the passengers flew in on chartered flights which bypass TSA security. Dulles airport won’t allow passengers to enter the airport buildings who haven’t previously been cleared by security. If the private transportation arrangement fail to pick up the passengers from those charters flights they are quite literally stranded outside on the tarmac. They couldn’t do anything about their predicament until their planes left to take them home.

They didn't want to ride on the buses with those guys. Now they know who to avoid, and can be thankful for that.

There is never an excuse for this kind of behavior. If the drivers had an issue with driving this group of people, then they should have addressed this with their boss and taken their lumps.
Under any circumstances, intentionally not doing your job and thus leaving paying customers in difficult position plus making your company look bad in the bargain should mean being fired!

Welcome to the land of any and all immigrants from any third world craphole country, especially those being Muslim. These people come here not because they want to be Americans but because they can and therefore can spread their religion.
Thanks to the Left and the feckless GOP, being American means nothing these days other than being a free flowing ATM for any and all corrupt evil regimes around the world.

And thanks to the dedicated investigative journalism at the National Review, we have all the information we need to show our disdain for what was done. Why, I will never again ever do any business with "The Bus Company" ever again. Way to go boys and girls, clear some mantle space for your Pulitzer, it should be arriving shortly.

Gee, # 17 it sure would have been worthwhile if the National Review were to note the exact "bus company" that was responsible. There are a number of bus companies serving Dulles International Airport.

Wonder how much Obama and his DC army paid them to walk off....sorry it happened...but...looks like the demonstration for Israel was a success inspite their interference at the airport....290,000 pro Israel demonstrators in DC was a real treat to see....

Where are the "civil rights" warriors and Squad members of Congress demanding rights for Jewish Americans? Imagine the outcry and looting that would follow an organized group of bus drivers refusing to transport black people or our resident anti-American Muslims. As Steven Stills sang as a part of Buffalo Springfield, "There's something happening here; what it is aint exactly clear."

#17 made a good point. Sometimes folks might still require the "s/off" sign at the end of their comments. No harm, no foul. Be kind to each other, please.

A caller to the Chris Plante show today suggested that we abandon the words antiSemite/antiSemitic and replace them with Judeophobe/Judeophobic. I’m going to do it. Fight the left at their own word games. So, these bus drivers are Judeophobic.
