Bus drivers reportedly boycott transporting Jews to Pro-Israel rally 

THE PRO ISRAEL RALLY IN WASHINGTON D.C. DREW HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. SWARMS OF WHITE AND BLUE IN SUPPORT OF ISRAEL AND AGAINST ANTI-SEMITISM.

BUT 26 MILES FROM THE CAPITOL – HUNDREDS OF JEWISH PEOPLE WHO PLANNED TO ATTEND THE RALLY WERE STUCK AT THE AIRPORT BECAUSE THEIR TRANSPORTATION FELL THROUGH – IN AN APPARENT REFUSAL OF SERVICE FROM A BUS COMPANY.

THE JEWISH FEDERATION OF DETROIT FLEW ITS MEMBERS IN CHARTER PLANES TO D.C. FOR THE RALLY. THEY ORGANIZED TRANSPORTATION PRIOR TO THE TRIP – BUT ONCE THEY ARRIVED – THEY WERE TOLD THE BUS DRIVERS BAILED. ORGANIZING “MASS SICK CALLS”.

WHILE ROUGHLY 600 OF THE PASSENGERS WERE ABLE TO EVENTUALLY FIND OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND ATTENDED THE RALLY –

300 OF THEM NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO. PHOTOGRAPHED HERE  –

HOLDING A SMALLER RALLY OF THEIR OWN – NOT ALLOWING THE SETBACK TO TAINT THE MEANING BEHIND THEIR TRIP.

THE JEWISH FEDERATION SAID:

“We have learned from the bus company that this was caused by a deliberate and malicious walk-off of drivers. While we are deeply dismayed by this disgraceful action, our resolve to proudly stand in solidarity with the people of Israel, to condemn antisemitism and to demand the return of every hostage held by Hamas has never been greater.”

THE JEWISH FEDERATION SAYS THEY WON’T PUBLICLY OUST THE TRANSPORTATION COMPANY AS THE ISRAEL-HAMAS CONFLICT HAS CREATED ENOUGH DIVISION. SOME OF THE PASSENGERS SAY THE BUS DRIVERS’ WALKOUT WAS AN ACT OF ANTISEMITISM. WHICH THE U.S. HAS SEEN A 300 PERCENT INCREASE IN REPORTED ANTI-SEMITIC INCIDENTS SINCE THE START OF THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR.
