Lufthansa has agreed to pay a $4 million penalty for allegedly discriminating against Jewish passengers who were trying to board a connecting flight in Frankfurt in May 2022, the U.S. Transportation Department said on Tuesday.
Lufthansa prohibited 128 Jewish passengers, nearly all of whom wore garments generally worn by Orthodox Jewish men, from boarding a connecting flight in Germany on the basis of alleged misbehavior by some passengers, the Transportation Department said.
from a commenter:
That "handful" of passengers was contended to be as many as 60 out of 128 prohibited passengers onboard at any given time, disregarding crew instructions. That is nearly 50%

Because they are all one group, "God's chosen people" consider themselves as one cohesive unit, like a large leper colony.
