JUSTICE: South Africa slams El AL for stringent security checks

South Africa slams El AL for stringent security checks

>> Monday, December 14, 2009

The flight route between Israel and South Africa is in danger of being cancelled, El Al airline said on Monday.

The Israeli airline was criticized by the South African government for its stringent security checkups, as documented on a South African television research show.

A reporter with a hidden camera filmed an El Al security guard allegedly discriminating against dark-skinned passengers at the airport check in.

As a result of the broadcast the South African government issued a request that Israel change its security procedures in the country, which El Al has denied on the basis that they are part of the company's flight regulations.

El Al released a statement in response saying "the Foreign Ministry is responsible for this subject, and they are taking care of the matter."

The statement also stated that "the airline hopes that the diplomatic crisis with the South African government will be resolved shortly."

El Al is currently the only airline with a direct flight between the two countries.

It takes real arrogance to take so much money and support from America, spit in the American presidents eye when he says something they do not like, and then complain that America is not supportive enough. Israelis are motivated by fear and guilt. Fear that their nation is not seen as "legitimate", fear that they are going to be attacked, fear that they will have to withdraw from the west bank, fear of what will happen when they withdraw from the west bank, guilt that they have found a home only by taking it from others, guilt that they watch their victims suffer and only make it worse, guilt that maybe they are not the good people they thought they were, fear that others will finally be motivated to do something about it.
