this is a clear tactic from kerry to presure israel. knowing full weel that israel is the only country that still pays attention to USA. look at his faliure in Rusia, Syria, and iraq

...only one airline can be counted on: El Al. Good price, nice perks from other airlines, but when push comes to shove, only blue-and-white airplanes remain.

this has Kerry's fingerprints all over it. his tactic to pressure Israel. why didn't he use his sly and underhanded ways on Iraq, Sirya, Sudan, Russia etc? there are other airports they can land in the guy is a failure

Fly Turkish, make us richer

This is hama's greatest achievement and warrants a tremendous response by the Israeli Air Force!

It's so Ironic how the world tells Israel to show restraint when it comes to Hamas firing rockets into Israeli cities and the safety of Israeli lives are in jeopardy, but as soon as the Airlines feel the rockets are getting a little close they get out of town.

No thanks.

of Israel's defensive military policy? If so it is sending the wrong signals and will backfire badly with crisis resolution.

It will be interesting whether when the crisis is over passengers will remember which airlines carried on through and retain loyalty and support for those airlines..

small airplanes . Much safer for the travellers and nice business for smaller airlines.. Fu?ck those who pander to terror and btw. I am not using bad language New El Al motto Fly Us ? Cant Kill

might keep Kerry away for a day or two.

Good, one step twords stopping Israeli terrorism.

shame on the obama administration.

GO! GO! GO! BDS!!! BDS!!! BDS!!! The Zionists are on the ropes!!!

this is one more reason for Israel finish the job and bring calm back.Israel need to finish the job and leave Gaza devastated, crawling and very quiet . Gazans have what they deserve.

Oh, please! Didn't the Turkish air force bomb a Turkish destroyer during the illegal attempt to take over Cyprus? And wasn't it Israel that had to fish your hapless sailors out of the Mediterranean? Turkish pilots don't know their asses from their elbows.

Before incursion into Gaza 0 none deaths from rockets from Gaza...since incursion 27 dead citizens of Israel, one new captured IDF prisoner (a new Shalit), massive public relations problems, a closed airport to much traffic, constant air raids etc. Things are so much better since the "operation" began

Hamas Caliphate in Gaza.

Anything but the complete destruction of Hamas and its capability will just leave this situation as an ever present possibility.

Mr Kerry and Obama.? Its a question for you. Maybe you want to lend a hand to restore the freedom of Us airlines to go about their normal business. Or does that only apply to every other country in the world. Have we not learned the lessons of lockerbie yet ?

Best airline ever and always keeps going. To all those "i fly Delta" snobs, enjoy your camping holiday at the airport.

You are wrong. Clearly, you know nothing about international law. Blocking a nation's access to waterways is casus belli. That's precisely why the Arabs were considered the aggressors in 1956 and in 1967. Similarly, blocking a nation's international airport from functioning is equally deemed casus belli. Besides which -- perhaps you want to read the Palmer Report, demanded by Turkey and commissioned by the United Nations following the incident of the MAVI MARMARA. It ruled Israel's blockade of Gaza to be fully legal and internationally recognized. Perhaps when you successfully complete the fourth grade, you may eventually go on to university and then law school. Until then -- unlikely as it is to ever transpire notwithstanding -- please refrain from making pronouncements that have no basis in either fact or law. It will definitely reduce the amount of justifiable ridicule to which you seem foolishly committed to subject yourself.

So you compare the IDF with ISIS? Ha, I almost agree with You!

US is prolonging war by encouraging Hamas by stopping flights to Israel.
