法航被法庭判处犯有“歧视罪”，因为它歧视一名亲巴勒斯坦的女乘客，将她赶下一架飞往以色列的飞机。原因是她既不是以色列人，也不是犹太人。休·斯科菲尔德在巴黎报道。
The incident happened during, what was dubbed7 by the media, the flytilla when hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists8 sought to fly to Tel Aviv airport and then to make their way to the occupied West Bank. Horia Ankour was one who try to fly from Nice, but shortly before takeoff, she was asked by a member of the aircrew if she was a Jewish or Israeli and when she said no, she was asked to leave the plane. The prosecution9 said it was a clear-cut case of racial discrimination and the judge agreed finding Air France guilty and fine it 10,000 Euros or $13,000.
