The national airline of the United Arab Emirates, Etihad Airways, which annually receives hundreds of thousands of dollars from the US government, has left one of America’s staunchest allies from its official travel-route map, according to a Monday report in the New York Post. […]

The Emirati airline refuses to provide transport to Israeli passengers, as Israeli passport holders are not permitted entry into the country because the Gulf nation does not recognize the Jewish State. …

...................Etihad Airways, which annually receives hundreds of thousands of dollars from the US government...................

And who flies Etihad instead of Emirites Airlines to the US?

And how much do the US based airlines get in direct subsidies from the US Government???

And finally, why isn’t there a spare penny to cut from the US budget???????

The next time one of their planes is in trouble and needs to make an emergency landing, say in a nearby country called Israel, they can’t, because it doesn’t exist and the air traffic controller doesn’t either.

Plowing up the sand like a camel in heat.
