A German court has ruled that Kuwait’s national airline didn’t have to transport an Israeli citizen because the carrier would face legal repercussions at home if it did.

The Frankfurt state court noted in its verdict Thursday that Kuwait Airways is not allowed to close contracts with Israelis under Kuwaiti law because of the Middle Eastern country’s boycott of Israel. […]

Germany could stop Kuwaiti Airways from operating in Germany. Somehow I don’t think that will happen.

Does this mean that business with the German government is now prohibited by US Federal law since the German government supports the arab state boycott of all things Jew, I mean Israeli?

This could be thought of in a similar way to bakeries being forced to bake cakes for pervert “weddings”.Refuse to carry Jewish...or Christian...or Lithuanian passengers if you wish.If the open market allows you to make a profit then more power to you.

But be aware that a free,competitive market may make you pay a steep price for your decision.

And why would Israeli Jews fly on any other airline than El Al? Or any Jew for that matter. Those muzzie airlines can go pound sand, literally.

Looks like a Kuwaiti law or two needs to be changed.

“But the Kuwaitis are our friends. “

By “our”, do you mean American or Israeli?

American allies, from Saudi Arabia to Kuwait, do not acknowledge’s Israel’s existence. But, they are American allies and allow America to defend them when their enemies(Saddam Hussein) attacked them.

Seems Kuwait has forgotten the A-4 parts from Israel during the first Gulf war.

Fortunately for Israel, they are not Israel’s friends.

It's being written these days that there's an unwritten understanding between/among several Gulf countries (Saudi,UAE,Kuwait and a few others) and Israel that the real enemies are ISIS and Iran.So these countries may not be Israel's best friends today but they're not her worst enemies either.

Still, Kuwait wasn't worth the bones of a single Buck Private.
