The video clip shown by secular channel 10 in Israel, of orthodox Jews acting violently toward the aircraft staff was a scam. There was no violence.
There were 2 videos super-imposed, one of people in the plane, and another video of shouting voices.
Channel 10 admits it was a 'technical error'.

This is what I could find about it in English:

Arutz 7 has an article about it today:

I wouldn't have thought that Channel 10 has the nerve to manipulate the public like that. But there you go. Disgusting. I also had first believed the story of the "riot" and condemned the "rioters"...

I hope Rabbi Sorotzkin follows through with the boycott. Disgusting.

(If this was America, the Democrats would be calling for the flight attendant to lose her job, and make a ruckus until she does. Too bad the Israelis are more civilized than half of us Americans.)

I'd like to see the Forward and all the other mags that rushed to condemn write an article (not a two sentence retraction) about this. And maybe, a self-focused analysis of why there was no fact checking?

Neither are going to happen.

For the same reason they didn't do any fact checking to begin with.

Which is exactly why you’re not allowed to accept lashon hara as fact, even if it’s on a “frum site.” Someone here started a thread about this story when it first came out, with unsubstantiated accusations about the frum passengers. She posted comments assuming the malicious gossip was true. How about we hold off on the assumptions of guilt before there’s any proof (or not).

I hope so too, but unfortunately El Al has almost a monopoly on flights to and from Israel and I don’t think most people will want to be inconvenienced by having to fly with another airline which does not have the same level of security, which I know from the inside are not as tight.
