Manchester Airport's Treatment Of Hamas Attack Victims Probed

[naomi24]

//Claims survivors of the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel faced discrimination at Manchester Airport are being investigated, the government has said.

The Jewish Representative Council for Greater Manchester said two Israeli nationals had "faced aggressive questioning" by UK Border Force officials at the airport on Sunday.

The council alleged the Nova Music Festival victims were discriminated against "because they are Israeli".

The council said two survivors "had been invited to share their experiences with the Jewish community in Manchester".

In a letter posted on X, the council wrote: "Upon arrival, when Border Patrol noticed they were travelling with Israeli passports, they were asked why they had come to Manchester.

"They were informed that they would need to be questioned.

"The only reason for their detention and interrogation was because they are Israeli."

The council said the men were detained for two hours, and that it was in possession of a video showing a male officer "speaking in aggressive terms" and in a "demeaning" tone to them.

When released, an officer said they "had to make sure that you are not going to do what you are doing in Gaza over here", the letter alleged.//

Shame on those border guards.

Well ,in my experience, there are ways and means of interrogating suspects boana fides.

If you start off being,aggressive rude, and overbearing you are likely to get SFA. If you start of making the suspect at ease and comfortable then, if the suspect is iffy, it is likely to fool them into a false sense of security and they spill out more.

Chop an ear off, that might work 😁

i hve to say i wholly agree with YMB's posts (On the first page that is, not about chopping an ear off).We want our border protection staff to be thorough.  We want them to question people's motives.  So please don't blame them when they do.

I'm sure the Border Patrol can do their job quite well without having to insult people.

Though as i hinted earlier, there are two sides to every story and it's not rare for one side to fabricate a little.

1830 Manchester news, They had by implication been arguing the toss and the BF officer ( white as was his  little helper) said "we say if you are coming in or not and  we are. we are thebosses here" - phone video

I imagine all parties knew there wd be  video, and as we all know ,tailored their actions with  that in mind

Here is one from 2005 - Gavin Yamey ( now v famous) was at a conference New Orleans and approached by  the  FBI ....

It  is firewalled but still gives you an idea of what occurred, along with his hilarious account of the dialogue  of  the goons "where is Nizeria, anyway?" - anyone here speak 'murican?

and the answer is: Yamey ( English) makes sense in Arabic ( today or  daily) and this had been picked up.

and.....

Mr Khan had with his profits bought a holiday house in Floriddy. First time, Mrs Khan was detained for five hours in Paradise airport after she landed and......

she made him sell it

At least until somebody does something that they do over there.

Then the borderistas should have been more rigorous and vigilant.

[Peter Pedant]

well at least they can cross a border: the people of Gaza can't....

On Manc local tv, the spokesman also said the pair 'now dont feel safe in Manchester'. They had come to M to tell folks how they had combined to treat ( the) PTSD induced by the Oct 7th Nova massacre.
