Kuwait Airways pays damages to Israeli barred from boarding Heathrow flight

Aug 12, 2018 4:49 pm By Robert Spencer

A rare sighting of justice being done.

“Kuwait Airways pays damages to Israeli barred from boarding Heathrow flight,” Jewish News, August 7, 2018:

Kuwait Airways has agreed to pay substantial damages plus costs to an Israeli National who was refused a ticket on a flight from London to Bangkok on the grounds of her nationality.

Mandy Blumenthal, with the help of UK Lawyers for Israel, issued a claim against Kuwait Airways, claiming damages for racial discrimination and harassment, after she tried to buy a return ticket to Bangkok at Heathrow Airport from the Kuwait Airways desk last November.

UK Lawyers for Israel, a voluntary organisation of lawyers who support Israel, facilitated Ms Blumenthal’s claim by organising her legal representation by barristers John Bowers QC and Benjamin Gray, and David Berens of Fuglers Solicitors.

Ms Blumenthal’s encounter at the Kuwait Airways desk was filmed, and the video is available on Youtube. At first Kuwait Airways were prepared to sell her the ticket but refused once they saw her Israeli passport. The Kuwait Airways ticket clerk repeatedly explained: “Israeli passport holders are not permitted to travel on Kuwait Airways”.

Kuwait Airways has now agreed to pay Ms Blumenthal damages but has not admitted liability….

Spokesmen for Jewish Human Rights Watch said “we took the action against Kuwait airways ..because we were disgusted by the fact an airline would ban a person because of their religion and country. We salute Mandy for her bravery. There will be no no-go-zones for Jews.”

    That will teach Kuwait Airways a severe lesson.

    When will the next lawsuit start against all the OTHER arab states, from its former
    jewish citizens, who had to leave after generations of living there?
    To my knowledge, they were forced to leave and left everything behind….?
    THAT would be an interesting lawsuit….!

      I’m betting that part of the inducement was a threat to have Kuwait Air’s Heathrow landing rights suspended or cancelled. Other London airports don’t have quite the cachet of Heathrow. I’m betting the small print on the lease state’ something about ‘complying with British law at all times’.
      Muslims everywhere feel free to impose their own laws and customs in foreign lands. This was just another example of a ‘no go zone’.

    Can you imagine if Moses,Elijah,Abraham,all those Biblical prophets of God and Jesus Christ came back to this world tomorrow and they decided to go on a tour of the middle east?

    They might have difficulties going to Kuwait {or Saudi Arabia or any muslim country for that matter}as we see from the above story.

    Of course they couldn’t go to mecca…that would be out of the question:

    Because you see they are all ……Jews(no no,they were not muslims!)
    {Although,curiously, allah isn’t sure about Abraham “Abraham was not a Jew”koran 2:67 says allah defiantly.How could he be?You see by allah’s logic,if Abraham was a Jew then he was according to {k2:65}an “ape to be despised and hated”:so obviously Abraham must have been,not a Jew but a..muslim.Just like all those JEWISH prophets must be secretly muslim..Elijah was a muslim,Jesus was a muslim…}

    And we know what “allah” thinks of the Jews by now don’t we?

    Of course Moses could remind the muslims in these countries that despite allah’s violent antisemitic racist nature he{or “WE”} claims to have given the Torah to…Moses.

    “And verily we gave unto Moses the scripture”
    k2:87

    “And verily WE sent Moses with OUR revelations and a clear warrant”
    koran 11:96

    So the Torah was given,allah claims,to that Jew Moses.So you might think that counts.But alas!Moses is a… Jew.

    {Ask yourself if you are muslim:isn’t it really,really odd that while allah hates the Jews so much yet he claims to have given the Torah to Moses(a Jew}??Logic isn’t allah’s forte is it?}

    So Moses has a “clear warrant” from allah himself:unfortunately since Moses{and Elijah and Jesus} are Jews they won’t be allowed into mecca…

      Of course, Islam just declares that all the Jewish prophets–and Jesus–were actually Muslim.

    I was a US federal employee with a red official pasdport. If I had traveled to Israel with that passport the Israelis would have put a visa stamp and an entry date stamp on it. These Arab states wouldn’t accept such a pasdport as valid, so I would have had to get another passport to go to Saudi Arabia or Kuwait. The hatred for Israel can be so petty in its manifestations.

    Personally I refuse to do ANY business with ANY muslim owned company, or ANY muslim, in any manner ! The company that I buy my gasoline from ONLY refines oil produced in Alaska, or Canada at their refinery.
