Kowtowing to DaeIshrael, AGAIN! 'German'? Gov.urges ban on Kuwait Airways over Israel issue after GERMAN COURT RULES THEY HAVE RIGHT TO REFUSE JEWISH PASSENGERS!

BERLIN (Reuters) - The German government should revoke landing rights for Kuwait Airways given its ban on Israeli passengers, a senior Justice Department official said on Friday, saying such discrimination was intolerable.
Christian Lange, parliamentary state secretary in the ministry, appealed to Chancellor Angela Merkel to personally advocate a ban on Kuwait Airways' operations in Germany.
A German court ruled on Thursday that the airline had the right to refuse to carry an Israeli passenger due to his nationality, a verdict that Jewish groups said condoned anti-Semitism.
Lange told Merkel in the letter that he had received countless phone calls from members of the Jewish community and from others in Israel, expressing shock about the court ruling, made just days after Germany solemnly marked the anniversary of the Nov. 9, 1938 Nazi pogroms against the Jews.
"We cannot say 'Never again' at a remembrance ceremony, but then remain silent when activists in Germany call for a boycott of Israel, or, as in this case, when an airline refuses to carry Israeli citizens," Lange said.
"Especially the German government must make clear that we reject this form of discrimination and hate, and that we stand by the side of our Israeli friends," he told the chancellor. https://www.yahoo.com/news/german-justice-ministry-urges-ban-kuwait-airways-over-203554808.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/german-justice-ministry-urges-ban-kuwait-airways-over-203554808.html
