    Bloomberg landed Wednesday night at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport on Israel’s national carrier, El Al. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu greeted him on arrival.

    Bloomberg says his flight showed it was safe to fly to Israel.

    The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration imposed a 24-hour ban on flights to Israel on Tuesday which it renewed Wednesday.

    The decision, which does not apply to El Al as a foreign airline, came after a rocket landed in a town near the airport.

    Israeli police said it was the first time a rocket landed in the vicinity of the airport since the war began July 8.

    Our beloved former mayor the self centered billionaire king Bloomberg went to Israel to show support.Although he probably hates the fact he was born Jewish still the only thing about his Jewishness his support of Israel.

    While he was mayor he promised everything to the orthodox community in order to get our votes but once elected he called us “black hatters”.

    Lets see how the frum Zionist will comment with praises for Bloomberg even though he hates frum yidden but as long he shows support for their Medina he deserves compliments.

    Is he really coming to show support or to push for some “peace” settlement?

    My advice to Bibi.
    Ask Bloomberg to stay in Israel. Make him a Minister of Finance or something.
    Ask him what he wants to do and create it for him.
    Make him an offer he can not refuse.

    He came to get Israel to cut down on eating falafel and schnitzel. Too fattening.
