No, not a prize to terror. Rather, an incentive to level Gaza.
It is a boycott of Israel led by Obama.
It is similar to the boycott of Christians in Iraq
led by Obama.
It is similar to the funding of Hamas and terrorists
including the “rebels” by Obama.
America ... is on the wrong side.
U.S. flight ban could be Hamas’ biggest success in latest clash with Israel

Several airlines already had suspended operations or diverted flights.
The ban comes less than a week after a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 was shot down over Ukraine. For Hamas, it could be the biggest break the Islamist group has had since the most recent fighting started — potentially increasing Israeli’s physical and psychological isolation from the rest of the world. The airport handles about 14 million travelers a year.

United, Delta and USAir have suspended all flights to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport after a Hamas rocket this afternoon landed in Yahud, some 5 kilometers from the airport (Hat Tip: NY Nana). The White House says that it did not order the flights suspended, but Delta said it made its decision in coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration.

7:41 P.M. The FAA prohibits all U.S. airlines from flying to and from Ben-Gurion International Airport “for a period of up to 24 hours.”
5:57 P.M. Delta Airlines and U.S. Airways suspend flights to and from Israel on Tuesday. This follows a warning from the Federal Aviation Authority given after a rocket fell earlier Tuesday in Yehud, near Ben-Gurion International Airport. United Airlines announced it will continue operating as usual.
A Delta Airlines flight from New York to Israel landed in Paris following the decision. U.S. Air has relocated planes currently at Ben-Gurion airport tonight’s planned flight has been canceled. (Zohar Blumenkrantz)
Look for EL AL to get very popular.
note who is the current occupant of the White House
and that
he’s already announced he’s sending more $$$ to his friends in Gaza, even as they’re bombing Israeli towns and villages
enough said
I think it was the right decision..no airline wants another MH17 on their hands..and the rocket that struck today was one mile from the airport..El Al is the only airline in the world with a missile defense system on board the plane..if a rocket comes close to it it will be detected
..................
It also gives the terrorist an idea.......
Everyone is uneasy because of the destruction of the Malaysian Airlines jet - and the disappearance of another. If anything did happen on the Meditteranean coast, people would say that they should not have been flying there.
The Kings doing.
The FAA ban has been extended for another 24 hours!
