Wasn’t it a Saudi flown airplane years ago that was flying into Texas to see President Bush and the pilot and crew refused to talk to a “female” air traffic contoller?
>>would require the American carrier to ban Jews and holders of Israeli passports from boarding flights from New York or Washington bound for Jeddah,<<
I think this is an overreach in divining the downstream possible policies.
As fun as it would be to point and scream “anti-Semite!” this doesn’t pass the smell test.
WWD frequently likes to be, shall we say, alarmist...
Should have adopted a “NO SAUDI” fly policy on 9/10 2001 would have saved thousands of lives.
Fred Grandy/WMAL PING!
This is unacceptable for a U.S. airlines. I will not fly with them again until I can be assured that they are not complying with this vile Saudi hate policy. Likewise my family will not use the credit cards we have that are associated with Delta.

According to the letter in response, Delta says they do not discriminate, and there will be no barriers. However, they also state that they cannot usurp the laws of other governments, and where Saudi Arabian laws apply, they cannot stop them from being applied. So, if you are a Jew entering/leaving SA on a Delta Flight, don’t expect that seat reservation to be honored.
What airlines do Jews currently use to fly to Jeddah?
The dripping sound you hear is lawyers salivating.
As a Jew I am hardly disturbed by the thought of a Saudi Airline not welcoming me. Frankly, I wouldn’t think of boarding a Saudi Airlines flight from New York to Jeddah to begin with.
WND has a tendency to turn a toothpick into a log cabin and they lost credibility with me quite some time ago.
Just for fun, assuming this story is true, I can see the new Delta advertising billboards:
“Fly the Jew-Free Skies of Delta”
As to why Jews might fly to Saudi Arabia - some are journalists covering the country/Arabian peninsula. I remember that many years ago the Jewish husband of a friend of mine had access to many of Saudi Arabia’s top leaders for a book he was doing. No problems.
The country has a 21st century facade and a 14th century mentality but a few Saudis are actually decent people (but don’t mention their names. We want them to stay alive).
"If a passenger travels without proper documents, the passenger may be denied entry into that country and our airline may be fined. Delta assumes responsibility for ensuring that each passenger boarding our aircraft has the proper documents for travel to their ticketed destination."
question: they are not allowed to enter the country now... right? so is this a case of stopping them from getting on a plane they can't get off from???
We’re living in a nightmare.
While it is true that there are not many of us Jews that would even care to fly to Saudi Arabia, how is it that an airlines operated by a US corporation even allowed to fly to Saudi Arabia, given that this is clearly a racist policy? I thought that the law protected an upheld the rights of ALL US citizens, regardless of race, religion or creed.
Delta may claim they do not discriminate, but by agreeing to abide by this racist policy, they are a participant. To hell with morals. To hell with doing the right thing. But this is “business”. Anything for money, right?
If it was another American minority that had to be the subject of this racist policy, all hell would break loose, and all of our “outspoken civil rights leaders,” in the grand old tradition, would be in front of the MSM cameras, ad nauseum, screaming for the government to take action against the airlines, and the nation who offers such an apartheid policy . They would then be organizing boycotts, strikes and other actions.. Funny, not a peep from them....... not one of them. After all, it is only the Jooooooos.........
Another interesting point is that it is Saudi Arabia that is pressuring everyone, including the US, to force their “Piece Plan” on Israel. Although, Obama is more than happy with it. It is the Muslim monarch of Saudi Arabia, that Obama bowed to.
Incredible. Let someone adopt a “no Muslim” fly policy and you’ll see all Hades break out.
The liberals, lame stream media, RINOs, and the Muslim would be foaming at the mouth.
