Austrian Airlines has fired a flight attendant after she was accused of making a series of anti-Semitic remarks during a recent Vienna rally.
Austrian Airlines Flight Attendant Fired For Anti-Semitic Remarks
Christina Kohl was terminated from her position as an Austrian Airlines flight attendant after she led a crowd in chanting what many deemed anti-Semitic slogans at a recent far-right rally in Vienna.
Kohl is running for a seat on Vienna’s municipal council under the banner of former Austrian Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache. Strache was forced to resign in 2019 after being caught on video promising business contracts in exchange for political support to a woman who posed as the niece of a Russian oligarch. She was really a decoy to entrap Strache and he fell right into it, bringing the government down with him.
But time seems to heal political wounds and Strache is now re-engineered himself and is running under a an emerging far-right national party called Alliance for Austria (DAÖ).
At the rally, Kohl shouted:
- Soros must go!
- Rothschild must go!
- Rockefeller must go!
- Illuminati must go!
Here’s video:

Her presence with Strache and her pretty face helped bring her instant notoriety…and scorn.
When Austrian Airlines caught wind of her remarks, they fired her. A spokesperson told the Alegemeiner her behavior was “inexcusable” and added:
“An employee of Austrian Airlines made public antisemitic statements as part of her political commitment.We are an international company that crosses borders in the context of its business purpose. Here, however, we have to draw a very clear line…
“Statements of this kind are in no way compatible with our company values. We have therefore taken appropriate measures to ensure that something like this does not happen again.”
CONCLUSION
So was she really an anti-semite or just a conspiracy nut? If you understand German, she elaborated on her positions during a 17-minute interview on OE24…

She is obviously a dangerous extremist. The airline was right to fire her, but now the state must put her in jail to make sure she can’t infect others with this dangerous hate speech. I am so thankful she didn’t serve me my Wienerschnitzel, and a side of politics, on my last Austrian flight.
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or you truly hate freedom. There are many countries you can go to where they will throw you in jail for saying something forbidden or just unpopular. Sadly leftists want the same for the US.
In any case, what she said wasn’t remotely anti-Semitic. Soros is a leftist billionaire who meddles in politics worldwide. Of course a right wing politician would oppose his actions. 2 out of 4 mentioned are Jewish billionaires, so what? The other two are a Christian family and organization. This isn’t remotely anti-Semitic. I hope she has a good legal case for wrongful termination. In Europe it’s almost impossible to get fired, unless you’re a right winger it seems.
No, you dumb troll, the “leftists” in the US just want to shine a light on all the right wing racists and white nationalists out there (including politicians your soon to be new GA Republican rep/QAnon worshipper and the other racist who turned out to be the most popular Republican in the WPB area right around Mar-a-Lago…shocker).
Thrown in jail…piss off.
Of course you believe that hate speech is okay. Ickle closet Nazis like yourself are full of hate just like your grand Fuhrer Herr Donald Dump
“Soros is a leftist billionaire who meddles in politics worldwide.”
What politics has he meddled in world-wide, exactly?
Oh give me a break! As a German born Jew, I don’t find this anti-Semitic probably because it isn’t but rather the intolerance of the left. In fact, every left wing nut I hear on TV is anti-Semitic E.g. Nick Cannon most recently. She never said anything against the Jewish people but rather a few powerful billionaires “must go”.
The fact that you don’t see what was anti-Semetic about her statements makes your claim to be Jewish rather dubious.
LOL Because you, nor anyone, can point out where she is targeting the Jewish people with hate speech makes me not a Jew in your eyes! Ah you’re a real reasonable one, aren’t you? Please point out where she is making disparaging remarks about the Jewish people, faith, Israel…I’ll wait. Oh and the fact she mentioned the Rockefellers must mean she’s against Christians as well since John D Rcokefeller was a baptist, right? There is no other reason for her to name that family, right? I know critical thinking isn’t popular these days but give it a try.
One of the main and favored tactics of right wing trolls is to go online and, since they can hide behind the veil of online anonymity, they can claim to be a member of a marginalized group who isn’t offended by something as a way to try and discredit other people being offended by something.
“I’m black, and I didn’t find this racist at all!”
“I’m Jewish, and this is in no way anti-Semetic!”
“I’m gay, and I don’t find this homophobic at all!”
Etc, etc…
And still you cannot point out where she made disparaging remarks about the Jewish people. Why is that? Oh that’s right! It’s because she didn’t. You know how you’re a bigot and intolerant? It’s because your “How dare a Jew not be outraged by this comment. I’m not sure how comment is anti-Semitic but if he isn’t outraged then I will question his faith.” demeanor. You think you’re helping Jews, blacks, marginalized people by acting like you know what’s best and how we should think but believe it or not, we can think for ourselves! Imagine that!? Please get some help for your racist intolerant views cloaked in self- righteousness…Oh and I’m still waiting….
She is promoting a favored anti-Semetic trope that promotes a secret cabal that is Jewish led is running (and ruining, in their view) the world. Again, as someone Jewish, you’d be aware of coded hate speech, but I am guessing that in real life, you’re about as Jewish as a Shinto priest.
“You know how you’re a bigot and intolerant? It’s because your “How dare a Jew not be outraged by this comment. I’m not sure how comment is anti-Semitic but if he isn’t outraged then I will question his faith.” demeanor. You think you’re helping Jews, blacks, marginalized people by acting like you know what’s best and how we should think but believe it or not, we can think for ourselves! Imagine that!? Please get some help for your racist intolerant views cloaked in self- righteousness”
Thanks for playing racist bingo, you racked up quite a few points with what you just said lol Basically, “I’m not racist because of the racist things I say, you’re the racist for pointing out how racist I am!” The true mark of a racist right wing troll 🙂
I agree with her. How is, as Tom stated above, being fed up with the antics of a few billionaires, anti-jewish. One, or more may be Jewish, so what?
I think that Greta is a pain in the Khyber (seek enlightenment in cockney rhyming slang) but that doesn’t mean I’m a misogynist.
This whole ‘woke’ thing is out of control.
The Rockefellers aren’t Jewish. In any event, it’s better to keep these nutters in full view , rather than to give them reason to believe they’re victims of some international conspiracy. In that context, I see no reason to have fired her.
That’s borderline.
suppose I went around shouting “Mustafa must go! Ahmad must go!”
Nobody would think I’m talking about two individuals. Obviously this is about Muslims in general.
It would be considered racist, and rightly so.
Here two of three mentioned people are Jewish, one of them the stereotypical rich Jew. So it’s quite close to blaming rich Jews (who control the world economy) for our problems.
Those wacky Illuminati just keep popping up at unwanted moments when they’re not too busy secretly ruling the world. Probably via the Knights Templar.
This woman really needs to put away the foil hat and take her meds.
