Discussion for article #225485
In response to the decision, an AIPAC spokesman said, “HAHHHH HAHH! We win again!”
I mean seriously, in your basic war zone (something Israel has created with its current policy on Gaza), is it so bad to take a freaking breath on flying big, slow airliners full of people into the area until you’re sure it’s secured?

Next up = Sen Cruz will accuse Delta of anti-Semitism in its “boycott” of Israel in the name of “safety”. And, by extension, will cause Sen Cruz to continue obstructing approvals of FAA appointments.
Who knew air safety tactics were a political weapon?
If the big, slow airliners are filled with tourists bringing hard currency to spend in your economy, then yes, it is very bad.
Here is the thing…there are 11 Jews in the Senate and I think 20ish in the House. But a Cuban-Canadian immigrant is the one who has an issue with the FAA putting a temporary ban on flying into a war zone?
And if an incoming American flight is attacked - whether by Hamas or an accidental hit by the IDF - I wonder how long it will take Teddyboy Cruz to crawl out from hiding underneath his desk, change his urine-stained panties and take responsibility for any deaths or injuries to Americans incurred? BTW, Mr. Cruz (R-Dumbfuckistan), why are you not going after that anti-Israel, Hamas/Terrorist supporting Delta Airlines for not wanting to fly their jets into the Israeli airport?
The FAA’s flight ban was criticized by the Israeli government and by Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who questioned whether President Barack Obama used a federal agency to impose an economic boycott on Israel.
Thanks goodness the air traffic lifeline has been re-established, so the Israelis can resume receiving things to withhold from the Palestinians in their continuing economic embargo.

No, it’s very smart, which is why the FAA banned flights, investigated–and one assumes was given some information from Israel on security measures–and then resumed flights, one presumes after their investigation found the risk wasn’t too great.
Yes, because hamas really needs those shipments of construction supplies so that they can use them to build more tunnels while withholding them from their people.
Sure, you can once again fly to Israel if you are STUPID enough to go there.
