FFA rules allow pilots to eject passengers whom they believe are causing a disturbance and / or make the flight uncomfortable or dangerous for other passengers. It's very well possible that JetBlue took the Jewish doctor off the flight to protect her and avoid any potential problems in flight, knowing that ejection of the Palestinian might have created an even uglier incident.
You could have started your reply sans the red print as your prelude adds nothing to it.
It reminds me of the time I was waiting in a car repair shop and two young guys walked in. One announced to the room "Oh, we're gay".
I'm sure they were disappointed when nobody cared. It sucks trying to pull a Rosa Parks and it falls flat. Sounds like this JetBlue thing might be similar.
She said she was on the phone with a friend talking about the violence in Israel and her concern for her daughter, who will be studying there next year.
She said the trouble on the plane began when she finished her call.
"A woman comes up to me and says to me 'I'm a Palestinian,' and she starts cursing at me. 'Zionist pig. This is just the beginning,'" Rosenberg said.
Rosenberg said she never said anything negative about Palestinians and was only complimenting Israel on how leaders there have handled this latest conflict.
The argument between the women got heated and a flight attendant had to intervene, Rosenberg said.
A few minutes later, a supervisor told her she needed to leave the plane.
"I can't believe it. I said, 'Why would you do that?' I said, ‘Why don't you have her leave the plane?'" she said.
Rosenberg said nobody from JetBlue would answer her questions. She said only the other woman had complained and said she was not comfortable flying with Rosenberg.

They should have booted both of them, or neither. I'm shocked that this happened. I would love to hear more about this story from another news source, seems to me that was from a Zionist media source.
a commenter on the website Gothamist, who identified herself as the passenger who confronted Rosenberg, said that Rosenberg “was the only person yelling and actually said a Palestinian on the flight was a ‘danger to her’. She was removed that flight for making a scene, refusing to sit in her seat and not complying with staff. Other passengers , if they come forward, will verify this.”
