Kuwait Airways is not obliged to transport Israeli passengers, a German court has ruled.
The verdict – delivered over a case in which the airline cancelled a passenger’s ticket – has led to accusations of anti-Semitism.
The passenger, known only as Adar M, was travelling from Frankfurt to Bangkok when Kuwait Airways cancelled his ticket. But the court, in Frankfurt, ruled that the airline was merely respecting Kuwaiti law, and that it would have faced legal repercussions in its home country had it flown him to his destination.
Great news, Jew-haters! If your country is officially anti-Semitic, per Germany you can now safely act in a bigoted and discriminatory way toward Jewish customers without fear of legal repercussion!
Two wrongs don’t make a right? Hah!
