cricket Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 From what I gather, they're only banning Jewish persons from flying into Saudi Arabia--as they will not have the necessary documents for entry into that part of the world. I don't understand though, how they will know if a person is Jewish or not. Does the airline (Delta) regularly make religious inquiries of everyone who board? And further--is that legal in the United States? Quote
CoAspen Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Quote: After listening to many of your thoughts today, we’d like to take this opportunity to share some information and help to clarify some of the questions we know you have," Banstetter continued. First and foremost, I think one of the most important things to mention here is that Delta does not discriminate nor do we condone discrimination against anyone in regards to age, race, nationality, religion, or gender." The company added that "requirements to enter any country are dictated by that nation’s government, not the airlines, and they apply to anyone entering the country regardless of whether it’s by plane, bus or train." "We, like all international airlines, are required to comply with all applicable laws governing entry into every country we serve," Banstetter wrote. "You as passengers are responsible for obtaining the necessary travel documents, such as visas and certification of required vaccinations, and we’re responsible for making sure that you have the proper documentation before you board." The Kingdom of Saudi Arabian also moved Friday to try to dispel the rumors, saying in a statement that "rumors being circulated via the Internet regarding passenger flight restrictions on Saudi Arabian Airlines are completely false. "The Government of Saudi Arabia does not deny visas to U.S. citizens based on their religion," the Saudi statement said. Quote
TreeOfLife Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 :) Thanks all of you for a thought provoking thread! Considering that I am not a citizen of any State or Nation anymore, and that even so I've been repeatedly denied my rights of travel by various international air carriers, that is, based upon false assumptions re me vs. such requirements as applies only to such as are citizens of any government by and of men, well, I am beginning to see how that there might be some power inherent in those words re "discrimination" etc.. Thanks again! There might be an opening there... As well as also in obtaining and showing documents of proof of such denial and/or discrimination... Praise the Lord of Hosts, Shabbat Shalom xx Quote http://adamoh.org

Especially since they get the US military to do their dirty work. Well, basically one State of men is as bad as the other, though some are more effectively doing their dirty work behind closed doors than do others... Anyhow, all that's good enough reason for me not to wish to "partake... of her sins...," that is, as per the words of Revelation 18:4... vs. being a citizen of any such State by and of men... :) Quote http://adamoh.org

Thanks again! There might be an opening there... As well as also in obtaining and showing documents of proof of such denial and/or discrimination... Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. Do you pay taxes? Do you use the currency of the country in which you live? Do you benefit from police and fire protection? Do you drive on publicly built roads, listen to the radio and watch TV? Guess what? You are a citizen of that country whether you like it or not. Not having a passport doesn't mean a thing, and trying to travel without one (when you know very well what the laws are) just makes you look like a kook, whether you are one or not. This issue with Delta not letting Jews travel is total bunk. There are many countries who do exactly the same thing and refuse to grant visas to people with stamps in their passports from a short list of other countries. Without the proper visas then the airline cannot let you board the plane. I know people here in China who purchased tickets to France and when they tried to board were refused because they didn't have a visa. The larger question, which the media seem to be missing, is should airlines land in countries which have such laws? Then there would be mission creep.... should airlines land in countries that are governed by Islamic law? Then, of course, we'd have to look other religious states, like Israel, and then states with no religion, such as China, and then...... it goes on and on. Quote

I don't understand though, how they will know if a person is Jewish or not. Does the airline (Delta) regularly make religious inquiries of everyone who board? And further--is that legal in the United States? They are basically saying that if the person will be rejected entry at their destination based on their passport - then don't let them get on the plane to start with. I am not entirely sure why Delta would want passengers going to destinations where they will be rejected and stuck at the airport, angry and waiting on return flights in the first place. How is this act of discrimination by Saudi Arabia - Delta's fault? Suppose some nation decides to refuse entry to anyone traveling with a passport listing their first name as "Bob". Do I want to start going after any airline that happens to tell passengers about it - and that will not let me get into trouble by going to such a destination only to be turned back at the airport of destination? Does it make sense to blame the airlines for the whacky religious views of one or two countries in the world? in Christ, Bob Quote John 8:32 - The Truth will make you free“The righteousness of Christ will not cover one cherished sin."
