No Jews allowed to board flights to Saudi Arabia

U.S. Jews not able to fly on Delta flights to Saudi Arabia

JERUSALEM — Jews and Israelis, or passengers carrying any non-Islamic article of faith, will not be able to fly Delta Air Lines flights from the U.S. to Saudi Arabia under Delta's new partnership with Saudi Arabian Airlines.
Upon reflection - while this sounds despicable, and Saudi Arabia's laws are hateful and despicable - I don't think Delta is doing anything wrong. They'll board anyone who shows up with a ticket and proper visa documents/passport. If the Saudi scumbags won't issue the proper papers, then I suppose Delta could simply cancel all flights to Saudi Arabia, but I think that would only be possible as a practical matter if all carriers did that.

I think someone should sue airlines doing business in the US that fly to Saudi under anti-discrimination laws. It's probably a loser, because they'd find that the laws of Saudi Arabia are a bona fide legal restriction that the airlines have no control over, but the allegation should be that it violates the civil rights of Americans and that while the airlines have no control over Saudi law, they do have control over where they fly. No flights to Saudi until they stop discriminating!

This should be like "I'm not gunna play Sun City" was back in the day...

Why would a Jew want to go to Saudi Arabia? It doesn't sound like the kind of destination spot that would appeal to them.

Inside hotel bars, and then only in moderation. They turn a blind eye to it as long as it's contained within the hotels for westerners. Same in Dubai and other places round there.

Excellent. Just try to find a decent knish in Riyadh, and as for a corned beef - you should be so lucky. Meshugana Arabs.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Their oil production is in decline and their rigid social structure is beginning to collapse - which means they are lookng for scape goats. :spock:

I think the rest of the world should retaliate by disallowing people flying from Saudi Arabia unless the person can prove they aren't a Muslim.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Why not simply stop buying oil from them, and stop selling them military hardware, and then pull all military bases out of Saudi entirely.

Surely that would send a better message to the vile and criminal Saud regime that one airline pulling out?
