Fifty Jewish children and their young camp leader were violently ejected from a Vueling Airlines flight in Spain for daring to sing Hebrew songs—this cannot be ignored.
The facts are shocking, the injustice undeniable: On July 23, 2025, a group of French Jewish children, ages 10–15, were returning from summer camp when Vueling Airlines staff targeted them for openly celebrating their identity.
After they briefly sang Hebrew songs, crew threatened police intervention. Despite the children’s immediate compliance in stopping, Spanish police boarded the plane and, with alarming force, handcuffed and arrested their 21-year-old camp director.
Police went further—they demanded to inspect the children’s mobile phones without consent, an invasive and discriminatory act adding insult to injury.
The children, wearing visible signs of their faith, were left traumatized and stranded with no support from Vueling.

This incident is not an isolated incident but part of a rising wave of antisemitism surging across Europe.
When airline staff reportedly called Israel a “terrorist state” and forced these children off a commercial flight, they crossed every line of decency and law. “Enough is enough”—Jewish children must not be subjected to this modern-day persecution.
The silence from Vueling and Spanish authorities is deafening.
We cannot let this slide. The world watched as minors were punished for expressing their heritage—an outrage reminiscent of the darkest chapters of European history.
The Diaspora Affairs Minister of Israel called this “one of the most serious antisemitic incidents seen recently.”
Still, the perpetrators have not been held accountable. Today, the responsibility falls on you: Stand with these children and show Vueling and Spain that there is no place for antisemitic abuse—anywhere, ever.
It’s time to demand accountability from Vueling Airlines and Spanish authorities.
