The fact that four major airlines suspended their flights - indefinitely - per the quote below ... is not terrorist propaganda. It’s what one calls reported facts.

It would seem that you don’t like the “reality” of what “happens” and thus want to label it “terrorist propaganda”.

And, once again, here’s the quote from yesterday ...

Israel Transportation Minister: Cancellation of Flights to Israel Gives a ‘Prize to Terror’

On Tuesday, four major U.S. airline carriers announced their decision to cancel flights heading to Israel indefinitely, one specifically citing the danger of Gaza rocket attacks near Israel’s Ben Gurion airport.

Shortly afterwards, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it told all U.S. airlines that flights to the airport are prohibited for 24 hours, according to The Associated Press.

And here’s another quote from today, with additional information about foreign airlines suspending flights ...

FAA extends ban on US flights to Israel by 24 hours

Lufthansa, Delta, US Airways extend flight bans to Israel along with US Federal Aviation Administration along with most European airlines.

The FAA on Tuesday said it told US carriers they were prohibited from flying to or from Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv for up to 24 hours, citing “the potentially hazardous situation created by the armed conflict in Israel and Gaza.” The FAA later extended the ban by another 24 hours on Wednesday evening.

The decision to halt flights to Israel follows the downing last week of a Malaysia Airlines jet over Ukraine with nearly 300 aboard.

Germany’s Lufthansa on Wednesday suspended flights to and from Tel Aviv for an additional 24 hours. The decision also applies to Germanwings, Austrian Airlines, Swiss and Brussels Airlines.

“At the present time no adequate authoritative new information is available that would justify a resumption of flights. In close coordination with the responsible authorities Lufthansa is continually evaluating the safety situation for its total flight network,” the company said.

Now I don’t care whether you choose to believe it or not — but there are the news reports and you can now go and stick your head in the sand ... LOL ...

Read the article below. US Airways did NOT suspend indefinitely. Your quote is in error - and the link is a direct quote from US Airways, not some newsie assuming.

US Airways plans to resume Tel Aviv flight on Thursday (if FAA says OK)

What's up? Got family that are residents of Gaza?
