JetBlue 'called cops on passenger who complained about Palestine pin'
Budget airline JetBlue called the police on a Jewish passenger and accused him of 'causing a disturbance' after he objected to a flight attendant's Palestine flag pin, the aggrieved flier has revealed to DailyMail.com.
Paul Faust, 54, said he quietly made a complaint about the pin to a supervisor on the plane – but when he landed a uniformed official demanded to see his ID, claimed he caused a disturbance, called the police – and then then canceled his return flight.
Faust, who is Jewish, is accusing the airline of 'blatant antisemitism' over the incident.
A JetBlue spokesperson said they are investigating what happened.
In an exclusive interview, Faust said he was flying to Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday when he noticed a female flight attendant was wearing several pins, including a Palestine flag and a Black Lives Matterbadge. Faust, who is Jewish, told DailyMail.com he was offended to see a female flight attendant – who has not been identified – flaunting a Palestinian flag pin on her uniform during the flight
