Kuwait Airways halts inter-European flights after complaint by Israelis
Kuwait Airways, the national airline of Kuwait, has halted all inter-European routes in order to avoid “further civil and criminal charges” in Europe for its refusal to allow Israeli citizens fly on its airline, according to the Lawfare Project, a U.S.-based nonprofit legal think tank that has challenged the airline’s policies in European courts.
In mid-April, Lawfare Project Swiss Council Philippe Grumbach filed an administrative complaint with the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation as well as a criminal complaint with the Prosecutor General against Kuwait Airways Corporation on behalf of an Israeli national living in Switzerland who was denied a ticket on the Kuwait Airways flight from Geneva to Frankfurt, Germany.
The complaint was based on the airline’s violation of the Swiss Penal Code as well as the Swiss constitution, which protects individuals from discrimination based on race, religion and ethnicity, the Lawfare Project said.
Earlier this year Kuwait Airways dropped its route between New York City and London rather than transport Israeli citizens between the two cities. That decision came after the U.S. Department of Transportation found that the airline’s refusal to allow Israeli citizens to fly on the route amounted to “unreasonable discrimination” because Israeli passport holders have the legal right to travel between the United States and the United Kingdom.
“Ironically, the Arab League boycott of Israel was instituted with the stated goal of delegitimizing and bankrupting the Jewish state, ” the Lawfare Project said on its website.
“This victory sends a loud and clear message to Arab League governments and corporations that the legal and financial risks of refusing to deal with Israelis will be disproportionately painful for the boycotters, ” the project also said.

Jews should stick together and not sell out to the non-Jewish
world seeking to harm them learning from the Kuwaiti’s who have nothing to do
with the philistines yet band with them and would rather lose money on
principle than allow a Jew on board their airlplane while Israel allows arabs
on to the Jewish temple mount while banning Jews.
What is wrong with this scenario?
Why are Israeli’s booking on arab airlines? Are there no one
else where Jewish money to be spent?
Can someone explain this to me?
No Israeli actually wants to fly Kuwaiti. This is all about teaching them a painful financial lesson and iot seems to be working. Sort of mirror image of BDS.
but Israel is an apartheid state. got it.
when will campuses start having anti apartheid week for Kuwait, jordan,iran,iraq,saudi arabia,syria,lebanon,yemen,egypt,malaysia,indonesia,turkey etc etc etc
and why doesn’t the media come out with this bit of news since jews control all of the media!
Arabs hiring unemployed and uneducated kids to protest at a
university they do not attend and to bully the academics and students similar
to the nazi bullies does not make them a representative of a majority but
rather hooligans.
If the Jews controlled the media as your illerartely claim,
they world would be better informed and educated about the value of the Jews
and Israel.
I wish Israel was an apartheid State since there would then
be no moslems arabs and Christians living there. Yet Asians, Blacks, Whites
thrive in Israel without discrimination while there are no Jews left in any
arab country and the number of Christians being killed and exported raises
daily. Do you think ronleft that you
would be allowed to post your bogus lies on the media if it was controlled by
the arabs? If the media is controlled by the Jews, you should thank them for
enabling you to do damage to truth, justice, and the American rhetoric.
Superman you are not. Stupidman is more your existence. Thank you for pointing
out your pagan philosophy so Jews can laugh at and make fun of you as a product
of your parents’ education in stupid!
yechiel perhaps before you start calling people stupid you should understand sarcasm and english better. my points were exactly the sam as yours that if there’s an israel apartheid week which is completely bogus then where there is true apartheid, namely all the countries that have kicked the jews out like the ones i mentioned then why is there not an apartheid week there.
yechiel we’re on the same side so tone down the nasty comments and understand what you’re reading before lashing out.
apology accepted in advance
