Looks like Delta is planning for Thursday night JFK-TLV. Several greenies went out for the trip. Scheduling tried to IA me but I didn't get the message.

So it's dangerous when used to justify killing 70% civilians but totally not dangerous when it comes to foreign airliners coming into TLV. The rest of the world has already used the term genocide. Sounds fitting.

In any case, I don't understand why any passenger would want to fly to TLV today. It isn't worth it, the US government has warned against travel there. Oh and Bloomberg's little stunt would actually be credible if it wasn't for the fact he outlaws 32oz fountain drinks. But apparently flying into a war zone is okay. And those citizens can carry guns but not here in NY.

Intrigued Shyguy.

You say Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians AND wondering why anyone would fly to TLV because Palestinians are targeting the airport (maybe our airliners) with rockets?

So say your neighbor is shooting at your house in the hopes of killing everyone with you, how many people in your house should be killed before you're justified in returning fire in full? More than 1? So 2? Which 2?

Hamas Rockets Found in Second United Nations School - The Wire

Is it too much to ask your buddies to stop launching rockets from civilian areas?
