If you are not a Jew, then don’t bother on “Israel’s” `Jews only` Flights!

An investigation by Haaretz has revealed that there is a Jewish passengers only policy on flights from Rosh Pina and Kiryat Shmona in the north, to Tel Aviv in the center of the country.
Teh flights from the north to the center of the country are operated by Tamir Flights, which won a Transportation Ministry tender in March. To operate the flights, the company bought a scanning machine, to inspect passengers` suitcases and carry-on items.
The machine was to have been placed at the new terminal in Kiryat Shmona, but a difference of opinion over the use of the terminal has ensued between Tamir Flights, the Transportation and Industry and Trade Ministries, as well as the Kiryat Shmona municipality.
In April, the Industry and Trade stopped funding providing the NIS 30,000 monthly cost for security for the building, saying, "The new operator must bear responsibility for securing both the equipment and the building." As a result, the necessary security checks are not conducted, and non-Jewish passengers are not allowed to board flights.
Udi Tamir, one of Tamir Flight`s owners, confirmed Tuesday that non-Jews are not permitted on flights, saying he cannot allow all passengers on flights, because there is no scanning machine at the airport in Kiryat Shmona. Tamir added that he is operating according to security forces` instructions.
According to the Transportation Ministry, "This is not discrimination, but a technical malfunction. We are trying to find an immediate solution that will permit everyone in "Israel" to fly from northern "Israel", without restrictions."
