A German court ruled that a 'racist law of a radical, totalitarian and theocratic regime' that overrides German national air-transportation laws is still legal.
'Kuwait Airways should be given an ultimatum—either cease its anti-Semitic, unlawful practice or cease operating in Germany,' demanded Brooke Goldstein, Executive Director of The Lawfare Project.
'In my mind, it is an anti-Semitic policy to single out the only Jewish state to boycott,' said Mandy Blumenthal, who was refused a ticket on a Kuwait Airways flight.
While the world expresses outrage over Trump's travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries, the silence is deafening surrounding an Arab airlines' shameless discrimination against Jews.
German officials are calling for take action against Kuwait Airways over its discrimination against Israelis, after a German court ruled in favor of the airline.
Kuwait Airways, the national airline of Kuwait, has halted all inter-European routes in order to avoid “further civil and criminal charges” in Europe for its refusal to allow Israeli citizens fly on its airline, according to the Lawfare Project.
The US Department of Transportation informed the airline it must allow Israeli passengers on flights from the US to other countries, but the airline's hatred of Israel is so deep that it would rather lose profitable business rather than allow even one Israeli to board its airplanes.
The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has rejected arguments by Kuwait Airways that attempted to rationalize the Arab airline’s denial of tickets to Israeli passengers.
In a challenge to boycotts of Israel, the U.S. government has found that Kuwait Airways unlawfully discriminated against a passenger traveling on an Israeli passport by refusing to sell him a ticket for a New York to London flight.
“I didn’t think discrimination like this could exist in America, in JFK (Airport), in New York City. If they want to operate here, they have to obey our laws."
