No. These are companies worried about their planes being hit by missiles.

No. If that were true then they would have stopped servicing Tel Aviv many times since 2006. Rockets from Gaza have gone north of Tel Aviv and Petah Tikvah - that is NORTH of Ben Gurion Airport. Regardless, there have been ZERO SAMS fired by Hamas.

Here is what likely happened. Last week Hamas threatened Ben Gurion airport. Nothing happened with the airlines. Now Hussein Obama is getting nervous about his Muslim Brotherhood buddies, Hamas - so he sends Kerry over to Cairo to put pressure on Israel. No doubt U.S. civil aviation authorities were told to start working on plans to shut down traffic to Tel Aviv. A rocket hits 5km from Ben Gurion (not much closer than Petah Tikvah last week), and Delta diverts. The FAA quickly seizes the opportunity to forbid exercising airman certificate and airframe certification in Israeli airspace (effectively shutting down traffic from the US, in a way that they otherwise could not).

It is 100% an Obama boycott of the State of Israel.

Sure. Whatever. Tinfoil on a little too tight?

CLEARLY that’s the case...a shame that others trust the president so much.

You are 100% correct on this.
