A few weeks ago it was announced that Delta Airlines entered into a partnership code sharing agreement with Saudi Arabian Airlines. By making this choice and entering into this decision, Delta is becoming an enforcer of Saudi Arabian law which bans Israelis and Jews from entering the kingdom unless needed and invited by Royal officials.
So Delta has become a partner in Judenfrei flights to Saudi Arabia.
NO JEWS ALLOWED! Now how do they know who is Jewish? I smell gelfite fish here? Do they look at people’s last names or look for a JEW Face?
Do they make you drop trou? Do they look for the loud mouths on board?
How do they know who is a bagel eating “member of the tribe”? I wont take any chance with my “Jewface”. I just wont fly Delta.
My Yiddles and Yiddletes, if Delta thinks that becoming the Gestapo agents for the Royal family (“America’s best friends”-lol) and becoming a partner in this racist BS then we need to boycott. Imagine if Israel refused entry of Arabs into Israel. Imagine the uproar that would happen. Boycotts, condemnation at the UN , more D list rock stars cancelling their Israeli concerts. The fact is over 60,000 Palestinian visitors are expected to visit Israel this year. Okay they may have been strip searched and inspected with dental floss by Israeli security -lol- but still they are welcomed.
Delta has received some flack for this decision and the story quickly faded from the headlines. I called Delta 3x and was told such things like “If we were racist we wouldn’t fly to Israel” and we are just following the law of the hosts country” and Delta doesn’t fly to Saudi Arabia -it’s partners do.” Now Delta seems to be saying this is all misinformation and a misunderstanding. Misinformation my “Tuchus”. This is called backtracking and Delta should be ashamed.
I won’t fly Delta anymore and I hope you don’t as well until they apologize. Racism has no part in American society and I will have no part of DELTA. Delta owes the Jewish community an apology.

I am a Christian, and an American, and I absolutely support Israel on this stance. Your article is spot on.
I firmly believe that we are seeing a slow encroaching of freedoms, across the board, but particularly the Jewish people. I for one, have always supported Israel’s right to run it’s own government, without meddling from the US, and that includes b.s. such as the Delta gaffe. I stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel and it’s citizens.
Not only will you have to boycott every major US carrier, since they all partner with airlines that fly to Saudi Arabia, but you will also have to boycott every major oil company. The oil companies make many more billions from Saudi Arabia than airlines.
You have blown this way out of proportion. Jewish businesspeople and consultants can and do travel to KSA. Israeli passport holders are not granted visas, because the Saudi government does not recognize the State of Israel. How many visas does Israel issue for Saudis?
The bottom line is that Delta has no more control over this than they do over the USA not allowing North Koreans or Cubans to enter.
What an ignorant and vulgar screed.
The next-to-last paragraph undercuts whatever point you thought you were making. Yes, it’s true: Delta does not fly to Saudi Arabia. So your scenario of Delta personnel forcing Jews off planes is based on a fantasy scenario.
All the walk-back on this story has been done by the people who invented this pack of lies in the first place, notably the Pat Robertson-front American Center for Law and Justice. We’re now down to tut-tutting from blogger-rabbis that having any sort of business relationship with any Saudi company taints your soul.
