    And is it possible this is a U.S. tactic to get Israel to accept a cease fire?

    Simple question from Netanyahu to America and the world. What would The USA and England do if Kennedy Airport or Heathrow were bombarded with missles and their airports were forced to shut. What would they do??? Well let Israel do the exact same. Not more but not less!!

    For many years, the FAA permitted luggage to go into the cargo holds of commercial planes, without it being checked for explosives. For years, the FAA looked the other way, while dangerous cargo was being carried by those planes, thus endangering the passengers. For years, the FAA permitted planes with defective hydraulic systems to fly, knowing the danger. For years, the FAA has ignored various safety recommendations requested by the NTSB. Yet, it has the chutzpah, the gall, to ban flights form the USA to EY!

    I’m saying this all day today. the ONLY reason the FAA issued this warning was to put Israel in an impossible position thus forCing them to accept the ceasefire Kerry had been trying desperately to broker….

    make no mistake about that is the ONE AND ONLY reason for this “warning”

    Only a lunatic would believe that any president of the US of any party gets involved in FAA decisions.

    Time to turn off Fox News and WABC radio and start thinking for yourselves.
