Kuwait airlines discriminates against Israelis

A German court has ruled that a Kuwaiti airline was within its rights to refuse to carry an Israeli citizen. The ruling angered Jewish groups and others, who argued that it condoned anti-Semitism.Kuwait Airways cancelled the passenger's ticket for a flight from Frankfurt to Bangkok.The Frankfurt court said the airline was respecting the laws of Kuwait, which does not recognise the state of Israel. It said it was unable to rule on Kuwaiti law, and that German law covered discrimination on the basis of only race, ethnicity or religion - not citizenship.

The mayor of Frankfurt, Uwe Becker, also criticised the decision."An airline that practices discrimination and anti-Semitism by refusing to fly Israeli passengers should not be allowed to take off or land in Frankfurt," he said.
