I'm not surprised, but probably not for the reason you expect.

I would not be the least surprised if the judgement was a poor one and simply based on two dimensional American ideas of rights and equality, rather than people with anti-social attitudes doing ani-social things.

Had my own experience with an orthodox Jew on a plane. Let's just say I sure as hell knew I was a gentile. If 100 of them attempted to enter a plane with the same attitude, I'd completely understand why they were banned.

The problem might easily have been nothing to do with the fact they were Jewish and everything to do with the fact that fundamentalists of many religions are hard work to be around.

Lufthansa fined record $4 million for discriminating against Jewish passengers

Germany’s flagship airline has been fined $4 million by the U.S. Department of Transportation over allegations it discriminated against a group of Jewish passengers.

The regulator said Lufthansa had prohibited 128 people wearing traditional Orthodox Jewish clothing from boarding for a connecting flight in Germany as they made their way from New York City to Budapest, Hungary, in May 2022. The penalty is the largest ever issued by the DOT against an airline for a civil rights violation.
