DEFCON Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Dagger In all fairness, there are some outstanding geo-political issues facing El Al. The gov of Israel has chosen to ignore a number of UN Resolutions over the years. The americans are seen to be in support of that position vis a vis their policies and accordingly, have themselves become a target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagger Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 So now we are going to make the right to fly contingent on having an unblemished record in political affairs... The US and Britain invaded Iraq and a lot of people felt that was illegal. The Chinese persecuted the Fallon Gong - do we bar their aircraft? What about Arab airlines that deny the UN resolution which recognized Israel's existence in the first place? How about Aeroflot - the Russians invaded Afghanistan in defiance of the international community - but they had a veto at the UN Security Council, as does China. In all fairness, trying to use UN compliance as a test of fairness is hardly fair because it would never be applied fairly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
