Kuwait Airways is clinging to an anti-Semitic law that bans the sale of tickets to Jews on its New York-London flights, according to a New York attorney fighting the practiceThat’s even though the U.S. government has ordered the company based in the Muslim nation to halt such discrimination in the United States.
Lawyer Jeffrey A. Lovitky, who several years ago had exposed a similar practice by Delta Airlines due to a code-sharing arrangement with Saudi Arabian Airlines, told WND that Kuwait Airways’ permission to use American airports should be terminated.
“Kuwait Airways is acting at the explicit direction of the government of Kuwait in excluding Israeli citizens from its flights between New York and London,” he told WND.
“The Kuwaiti government’s embrace of the Arab boycott of Israel is a manifestation of its deep hostility towards the Jewish people. I call upon the Congress to make it a crime for any company to boycott Israeli citizens, when such boycott is at the direction of a foreign government.
“And I call upon the Secretary of Transportation to emphatically reject this manifestation of bigotry against the Jewish people, by immediately terminating Kuwait Airways permit to fly between the United States and the United Kingdom,” he said.
Lovitky said he filed a formal complaint with the Department of Transportation in 2013 alleging illegal discrimination.
It was rejected because Kuwait Airways “was required to follow Kuwait law.” But he said when he filed a lawsuit, on behalf of Eldad Gatt of Jerusalem against the federal agency, the decision ultimately was reversed.
