Check your favorite travel site. If you’re in the mood to fly to Kiev, Ukraine, this weekend, plenty of flights. From the US. On lines that aren’t currently flying to Israel. If the Ukraine doesn’t freak airlines out, actually they’re pretty well protected on international flights, particularly in war zones, or freak out the FAA, the cancelation of flights to Israel is bizarre. This was a political move, nothing more. Worse yet, really small time Chicago move. Maybe something an alderman on the take might do, Mayor Daley would have more sense. There are many ways to apply pressure, a stupid public move like this is, well, rank amateur.
Turns out I was wrong..just read on twitter how it was Obama and his cronies who ordered the FAA to halt travel to Israel so it would put economic pressure on Israel
