“You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers to be the Jews…” — Qur’an 5:82
In practice, that generally means that Muslims are the most intense of the people in animosity toward the Jews.
“Jew-hating airline cancels flight rather than allow Israeli passengers,” by Danielle Furfaro, New York Post, December 17, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Kuwait hates Jews so much that its national airline has ditched a popular and lucrative New York-to-London flight rather than allow Israelis on its planes, authorities said Thursday.
Kuwait Airways killed the flight to spite American officials, who threatened to pull the airline’s permit to fly to the United States if they continued discriminating against Israeli passengers.
The airline says they cannot allow Israelis on the planes because the Middle Eastern kingdom prohibits it citizens from doing business with citizens of the Jewish state.
“On December 15th, Kuwait Airways informed the United States Department of Transportation that they will be eliminating service between JFK and London Heathrow,” said a department spokesperson.
The airline has at least twice refused to let customers with Israeli passports buy tickets on flights from New York to London because of the Islamic state’s ban on trade with Israel.
It did not say when its last flight on that route would be.
Politicians who had pushed for the feds to nix the airline’s permit say they are glad the company decided to end the flight.
“If you’re so anti-Semitic that you would rather cancel a flight than provide service to Israeli passport holders, then good riddance,” said Councilman Rory Lancman.
Lancman said it was unconscionable that Kuwait, who the United States helped liberate in the early 1990s with the help of Jewish soldiers, would continue to discriminate against Israelis.
“They should show some gratitude that they even have their dictatorial little half-assed country,” said Lancman.
The airline will still run its New York-to-Kuwait flight from JFK, but since Israelis are not allowed in the country, the feds cannot require them to allow Israelis on that flight.
The lawyer for Eldad Gatt, the Israeli citizen who tried to buy a ticket on the New York to London flight in the fall of 2013 and was denied, said he does not plan to drop his suit against the airline and that he would like a formal ruling that the airline is discriminating against Israelis….

Yes United States liberates an Islamic State of Kuwait and gets no thanks.
“popular and lucrative New York-to-London flight”
Well they do not need the money,I suppose. The hate is better than the money
mortimer says
Agree. Cut off aid and perqs to Kuwait. However, human rights laws on the books can be used to stop discrimination.
Jaladhi says
US should cancel all permits to Kuwait Airlines to fly to USA!! Its their loss!!
Oliver says
I agree. AND KUWAIT IS ONE OF THE MORE LIBERAL MUSLIM COUNTRIES.
And, I think a year or so ago, some Kuwaiti officeial spoke about INCRESED AND INCREASING trade with Israel.
I have now gotten some posts and i think comments, but still (yet) no place to sign for more comments. Am I the only person to ahve this?
Carolyne says
What do you suppose would happen if an airline flying to and in the US banned American black people? How about if they banned gays? I think they would be visited by the DOIJ and would immediately lose their license to operate in the US. It’s the same principle.
eduardo odraude says
Perhaps they did this partly for security reasons? Fear that one of their fellow Muslims would inevitably try to kill Israeli passengers and might bring down an airplane accidentally or intentionally as a result. Or more likely, the Kuwaitis just hate Israel because the Qur’an repeatedly makes anti-Jewish statements.
Angemon says
Indeed. Americans and Europeans, including Jews, fought, bled and died to liberate Kuwait.
Oliver says
The same could ( and SHOULD BE) SAID OF COUNTRIES SUCH AS BELGIUM AND FRANCE- ESPECIALLY BELGIUM- THAT ARE ANTI SEMETIC. YET, HOW MANY CRESCENTS ARE THERE IN THEIR CEMETARIES OF WW 2 SOLDIERS? COMPARED TO THAT OF STARS OF DAVID?
Ungrateful pieces of shit.
Don McKellar says
One of the early actions of President Trump has got to be to block service from Kuwait Airways — and cite this story as his primary reason. When somebody calls him on it or objects, demand of them why they think Kuwait Airways’ discrimination policy of harmless Jews is okay in their minds, but a temporary blocking of moslem potential terrorist immigration to America is wrong in their minds.
Karyakarta1992 says
So, what happens when say, American Jews want to fly on Kuwait Airways? Will the Kuwaitis discriminate based on religion, over and above nationality?
Oliver says
I question the intelligence of any person (or group of people) (I felt the same -incidentally, when blacks wanted to go to all white establishments)- WANT TO SPEND MONEY/GIVE MONEY TO PEOPLE WHO HATE -OR, AT THE LEAST- DESPISE THEM????
Carolyne says
If you don’t understand that, there is no hope for you. It is a question of challenging a theory that you are inferior. Most people would not agree to accept that. In fact, Pamela Gellar did not have to hold the “Mohammed Cartoon” contest, but she did so to preserve the First Amendment for us all. Use it or lose it. It is the same principle. Some people will not sit idly by and allow bigots to control their lives.
ekbano says
Karyakarta.
Do you think there are many jews anywhere who choose to fly Islamic Airlines? Why would they they? Only in desperation if no alternative surely.
Matthieu Baudin says
Then Kuwait Airlines and associates should be boycotted.
What a nerve!
Wellington says
Actually, no one should be surprised by this since Islamic antipathy towards Jews approximates Nazi hatred of Jews. Yes, Muslims might tolerate Jews if they agree to be completely subservient to Islam, as opposed to being gassed to death en masse in ovens, but when subservience is just another name for slavery and a non-recognition of the humanity of the “other,” which Islam excels at, not just with Jews but with all kuffaars, is there really that much of a difference where life versus existence is the measure?
Should Islam get a pass where Jews are concerned but Nazism shouldn’t? Anyone asserting such is either a fool or something worse than a fool.
God, what an iniquity Islam is. And it is iniquitous in sundry ways. Thus, no one who respects Islam (e.g., Michael Moore or that silly young Christian woman who held up a sign stating that she loves the Quran) is of any merit, of any consequence. Indeed, such useful idiots are facilitators of evil, which is arguably even worse than evil itself. Think Walter Duranty of The New York Times here regarding Ukraine back in the early 1930s.
Richard Sherman says
Nothing has changed with the NY Times. Walter Duranty and Der Sturmer remain its model for objective reporting.
Ed says
The FAA should ban that airline from ever flying here.
Wellington says
It should, but it won’t.
Linde Barrera says
I would never fly Kuwait Airlines even if they gave me free unlimited travel. And I am not Jewish. Discrimination goes both ways.
Mickey says
Wasn’t Trump criticized for his proposal of banning Muslims because he would alienate our Arab allies like Kuwait?
How do the Kuwaitis get away with banning certain groups of people?
I’m confused here! How do Muslim nations get away with it?!
Valentino says
It’s called the soft bigotry of low expectations. When it comes to Muslims they are treated like a 3 year old child who throws a temper tantrum. You kind of expect it and you realize that the little tyke can’t help himself. Muslims are treated like a 3 year old child. They can get away with just about anything. Israel is thought of as a grown up and so is held to a higher standard (double standard) than Muslim countries. I am waiting for my regressive liberal friends to denounce this blatant discrimination as vociferously as they denounce Israel when she is forced to defend citizens from knife wielding Palestinian civilians of rockets from Dumbass…’scuse me, Hamas.
gravenimage says
Kuwait Airways cancels NY-to-London flight rather than allow Israeli passengers
………………….
Even on a trip from one part of Dar-al-Harb to another, Muslims have to enforce Shari’ah law–and if they cannot, then they will cancel the service entirely just to spite the Jews and other “filthy Infidels” who may not agree with this foul Jew-hatred.
God, I hate Islam.
eduardo odraude says
Kuwait Airlines may be doing this partly in reaction to Trump’s proposal to stop non-American Muslims coming to the U.S. The difference is that there are decent reasons to minimize the number of Muslims coming to the US. There are no good reasons to keep Jews off Kuwaiti Airlines. Notice too that Trump’s proposal faces a huge uphill battle because we live in a democracy where everything is debated, where religion and state are independent, and where people focus on the individual and are understandably very wary about acting on collectives. But Kuwait? Discriminating on the basis of religion is a snap, because there is no democracy, they don’t give a crap about the individual, and they recognize no significant distinction between religion and state. Barbarism, in short. If we exclude most Muslims from the US, it will not be due to theocratic barbarism, rejection of the individual, or fascistic government by a bunch of petty princes. It will be because we reject all that and democratically come to the conclusion that in order to defend pluralism, we have no choice but to exclude most of those who represent the largest and longest-lived totalitarian movement in the world.
Carolyne says
It appears you did not read the article. Mr. Eldad Gatt, a Jew, was denied a flight on Quwait Airlines in 2013, long before Donald Trump appeared on the political scene. Mr. Gatt has an outstanding lawsuit against the airline. Maybe you can blame George Bush instead? A bit passe’ but then liberals are not exactly informed, are they?
gravenimage says
True, Carolyn–Kuwait Airlines has been doing this for years. This is just the first time, to my knowledge, that Infidels have formally called them on it.
More Ham Ed says
“Kuwait, who the United States helped liberate in the early 1990s with the help of Jewish soldiers, would continue to discriminate against Israelis.”
The unholy ko ‘ran has somethin’ to do with it.
Baucent says
“They should show some gratitude that they even have their dictatorial little half-assed country,” said Lancman.
I couldn’t have said it better.
madmemere says
Turnabout is “fair play” – -how about an INTERNATIONAL BOYCOTT of “uncouth” kuwait airlines? Money talks and NO PASSENGERS AND NO MONEY would make them sit up a pay attention!
Rita says
No-one even half-civilised should fly any Arab/Muslim airline and that includes Qantas who has been sold to the Emirates by their Manager – who, irony of all ironies: is an Irish Homosexual, who, in islamic counries would be thrown off the roof of hanged for his sexuality. With the money he made he just bought a 2 Million + Beach House (week-ender) at the most expensive residential aerea close to Sydney.
Qantas cuisine is now fully halal (no alcohol used for cooking).
Fly SINGAPORE AIRLINES. Lovely staff, good value, halal-free. I am neither Jewish nor have I any financial interest in Singapore Airlines.
Rita says
PS: Correction:
Whoops – the Irish born Qantas Manager’s new “week-ender” did not cost 2 Million plus, but 5.5 Million Dollars. Hmmmmmmm….

Guys dont forget. America took in Rich Kuwaiti refugees too in 1990~91.
These muslims think they own the Kufrs.
How people forget….
Charli Main says
Muslims are taught from birth that they own the Kaffirs. The only purpose that Kaffirs have, is to submit to and serve their Muslim masters.
Western Governments and the general Western citizenry, that think they have Muslims friends and allies are living in La La Land. Muslims will use you at every opportunity and then xxxx you the first chance they get.
Jon says
It does seem a bit silly, like the ban on people who’ve visited Israel being disallowed entry to Muslim countries when such passengers can have a special passport just for Israel or a stapled visa that can be removed after leaving Israel.
gravenimage says
This isn’t “silly”, Jon–this is Muslim antesemitism in action.
BC says
This also the country that will not accept its Muslim brothers as refugees. It is also 67th on the world corruption index, not as bad as Russia which is 136th, but far from being among the best either
Judi says
It beggars the question. Why would Jews want to use a Kuwaiti airline when there are dozens of other airlines to choose from flying the same route, EL AL the Israeli airline being one of them!
Aardvark says
Possibly for the same (and laudable) reason that Rosa Parks insisted on sitting at the front of the bus?
Carolyne says
And Pamela Gellar held a “Draw Mohammed” contest. Also laudable.
duh_swami says
Allah hates Jews and Mahoundians are obligated to hate what he hates…
If an American based airline tried to ban Mahoundians, Loretta the Lyncher would investigate civil rights and hate crimes allegations by CAIR…
Marty says
Why would any decent person, Jew or Gentile wish to do
business with these filthy mohammedans ?
andrew sapia says
has anyone started an online petition to have their license to operate in the US suspended? This is unacceptable, they should not be allowed to operate in the US. If some Christian refuses to make a wedding cake for a gay couple he is sued out of business but Kuwait can refuse service to Jews.
duh swami says
Pig Airlme…Miss Piggy logo on the side of the plane, Porky Pig cartoons, pork rind snacks and pig skin sears…All Jews and other kuffar welcome…Enjoy a Mahoundian free flight,,,Fly safe, fly PIG,,,
Donald Trump…are you listening?,,
Sam Hawkins says
Love it! How can I become an investor? 😀 😀 😀
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
The American gubmint could invoke the open skies agreement to punish this transgression. It won’t, but it could. Out airline business has lost thousands of jobs to foreign carriers like Emirates Airlines, which enjoys fat petrodollar subsidies from the government there. So a little punishment for our “friends” in the Persian Gulf would be in order. But that would be standing up for freedom, fairness and security, so we won’t do it. Especially cuz the victims were Jews, and nobody likes them, not even Jews themselves. Plus, if we did that the Emirates would pull out of the anti-ISIS alliance of 65 nations, and that would hurt our effort to degrade and destroy the New Caliphate.
Katnis says
Why a Jew or any citizen of the West would buy a ticket on this airline is beyond me. I suggest not doing business with them in the first place. There are other options to fly around the world.
Carolyne says
Yes, there are other options. But if you don’t understand why a Jew would wish to buy a ticket for Quwait airlines, then you don’t understand the problem. The closest I can come to is “Because it’s there.”
A Jew, or other non-Muslim, should not assist Islam in its campaign to prove how utterly superior it is. Agreeing to abide by their discriminatory rules is assisting Islam in its goals.
Never-A-Dhimmi says
The ONLY reason the USA intervened in Kuwait, was because the President’s son, GW Bush, owner of Zapata Oil, had the exclusive oil-drilling rights off the coast of Kuwait.
It was also cheaper to use and leave old metal from obsolete weaponry and vehicles than to dispose of thousands of tanks and APCs within our borders.
There was no “democracy” to save in Kuwait: only a dictatorial and medieval liberty-murdering satrapy.
John B. Books says
I, too, LOVE the Qur(eer)’an because it confesses the LIES of Islam! (I.e. incest, pedofilia, rape, mass murders, racism, lies… add your own)
MeNotYou says
“You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers to be the Jews…”
Talk about turning something on its shoulder.
The story claims that this means that the Muslims hate the Jews the most. The Qur’an does not call anyone “believers” except for Muslims.
Since the believers (Muslims) are the ones toward whom the animosity is directed, and the animosity comes from those who are “the most intense”, this passage means exactly the opposite of how it is presented in this story.
If we’re going to defeat them, we have to be smarter than them.
Guy Jones says
This is a broader issue, but, I always find it completely incongruous to see Boeing and Airbus airplanes in the livery of Emirates, Etihad and Qater airlines, emblazoned with Arabic script. The supremacist ideology of “Submission” proclaims Muslims and Islamic culture superior to “infidels” and their respective cultures. Yet, what are the Islamic technological contributions to modern civilization? The explosive vest, the car bomb and the improvised explosive devices. Western, secular democracies invented antibiotics, the jet engine and the microprocessor. Islamic culture could never have built an airplane, a smartphone or a scanning electron microscope. So, whenever I Muslims use the Internet, smartphones, or, fly in jet airplanes, they should take a moment and look inwards at the fruits of their allegedly “superior” theology, which has only wrought misery, suffering, death and destruction throughout its entire history, wherever it has been prevalent.
gea says
this company should be banned from landing in USA and Europe… Also, all other Muslim occupied countries companies should e boycotted by Westerners as it give jihadists more power.
Boycott Muslims oil which finances terrorism around the world by replacing your internal combustion engine car with an electric car that is rechargeable by locally harvested solar and wind energy.
Write to your Senators and representatives to get this Airline out of America!
abad says
I want to know WHY we are allowing Muslim nation airlines to fly in OUR airspace.
We need to throw them all out. They are not welcome here.
Next thing you know they’re flying into tall buildings.
Jack Gordon says
Why doesn’t America’s most famous crypto Muslim (the one currently disgracing the White House) tell us about THIS facet of Islam? I can’t stand to look at his ugly mug for the most part, but I would make an exception to hear that particular news conference.
Wesley Creekmore says
No wonder Jews head the hate list. In spite of all the theft, murder, and rape committed by Islam in the past 1400 years against them, Jews are still smarter, richer and ambitious. Not at all like the cowardly and lazy monsters of Islam.
TheDane says
Imagine the global OUTrage, if my wish came thru: Banning moslems on trains, busses and airplanes! How safe one would feel again, stepping on board a plane!! And imagine the billions of dollars our nations could save on the costly affair it is to every day trying to prevent moslem terrorism against the air transportation industry.
Clifford Ross says
Ban all flights from this airline to anywhere we have influence.
mike says
How many Jewish service men died defending Kuwait back in the early 90’s when Saddam had invaded these f@#king Arabs have way to short memories.
