Delta Upholding the Banning of Jews, Religious Items From Flights to Saudi Arabia?

• Can you DRINK on the flight?......

• Yup... none.  You are a bunch of stupid fucks.

• Oh my goodness your writers are blindingly stupid.  Delta has no flights to Saudi.  None. 

• just goes to show you, how the bible prophecies keep coming true. And more and more frequently against godly ways.

• If you don't like Saudi Arabian (SV) airlines' policy, just don't fly them. Vote with your money and not with your ideologies. SV will eventually change their policies once they realize they want to compete globally without gov't subsidies. So, here's my analogy and food for thought to offend all three religions: don't eat pork in front of strict observant Jews, don't drink alcohol in company of Muslims, and don't dangle a circumcised penis at Christians!

• but the "screening" that el al does under its "security" protocol is encouraged by those outraged now.

• Sasboy, you would be right at home in Syria, Iran, or Saudia Arabia.  That is where scumbags live, and where you belong as a close member of that group.

• I wonder who is being discriminatory now ?

• ``Saudi Arabia, a U.S. ally, should be strongly condemned for its despicable discrimination against Jews," said a spokesperson for the American Jewish Committee, which is based in New York'' While Israel gets a pass for its ethnic cleansing, land grabs, check point humiliation, house demolitions and wholesale siege against non Jewish Arabs. Talk of crass hypocrisy.

• Doesn't this say it all about the "misunderstood Muslims"? All free nations should start deporting back to their 4 th century countries . When in Gods name are people going to wake to this sleeping demon? I also find it very interesting that American Hews still continue to indoctrinate with social liberalism. Are you crazy ? Christians and Jews have to stick together. Too late for Europe.

• Hello, this is Susan E. with Delta Air Lines. I'd first like to make it clear that Delta and our global workforce do not discrimina­te on the basis of race, religion or gender. We would never create a policy that promoted discrimina­tion. As a global airline, we provide transporta­tion to a diverse group customers from countries throughout the world. We do so directly and through partnershi­ps (we do not currently offer service into Saudi Arabia ourselves)­. Along with this, these countries have various laws and visa requirements that we must follow. If you would like to learn more about this issue, I encourage you to visit our blog: http://bit­.ly/mcmdIs­.

• Hey, you really need to update this story. The USA Today story it's based on has been retracted, because it contained false information. I think the whole thing is one big false rumor.

• Delta Airlines will no longer get my business.  For the management of Delta to even consider these inflamatory descriminatory practices, much less adopt them generates nothing but contempt and disgust from me.

• We'll need to take closer look at those dual-citizenship passports Israelis carry. In one part they are American citizens....in the other they are Israelis. Americans get along with Saudi...Israelis don't.

• Well maybe we should ban all Saudi Arabians from U.S. flights. It seems like when 19 of them get together, it can cause quite a problem...

• Hell, for every bible confiscated, lets burn a queeran.

• A few years ago there was a successful divestment movement against race segregated South Africa by many colleges and universities.   I imagine that Delta would have been one of the divested companies had it followed the apartheid guidelines in order to do business there.   Now, I'm not sure these institutions will take the same approach against Delta or Saudi Arabia, but it's long past due.  I say this knowing how the anti-Semitic department of one major university was recently disbanded for ideological reasons, and Saudi Arabian interests have made large educational grants to others.One can only hope.

• I know Delta can't change Saudi Arabian policy.  But there's a conflict here between Saudi sensibilities and American ones, and I don't see how that kind of discrimination can be enforced on flights that begin in the US.  I don't know if it's illegal, but it ought to be. So maybe there just shouldn't be direct flights between our two countries under the circumstances.
