House Dem Slams US Airlines Restricting Flights to Israel

Thursday, August 29, 2024

"I am writing to express concern about the suspension of air travel between the United States and Israel. The suspension has been so prolonged and so pervasive that El Al, an Israeli airline, has become the sole carrier offering direct flights from America to Israel. The lack of competition has made air travel to Israel less available and less affordable, putting customers at the mercy of a de facto monopoly that can easily gouge prices with impunity,"

Maybe the carriers don't want to provide service to a country engaging in disproportionate killing and war crimes? Maybe they don't want to fly into a war zone?

Israel is getting more isolated by the day. They will one day be like North Korea or Apartheid South Africa. Just another racist ---- hole.

That Day can't come too soon for Me.

No need to put assets like expensive planes in the path of rockets and other munitions. I wouldn't do it if I was running an airline. There may be safe places to fly into in Israel, I don't know, but given what's going on I doubt it.

Just wait ten years.

That area will be cleaned up of its Palestinian infestation and be lined with clubs and resorts along the Mediterranean.

Satan be praised!
