This company is the worst airline company in the world . I pray that they go out of business and put everyone out of their misery that has been using them. Horrible horrible company
2. Worrying for netanyahu
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (08.21.15)
Wondering whether it is a response to the threat of the EU to impose sanctions on Israeli banks dealing with businesses in the West Bank. Would be virtually impossible for US Air to buy fuel in Israel to refuel their planes whilst in Israel without some form of contacts with these banks. May be the first of many
3. This is American Corporate Antisemitism...
the Family Sefardi ,   Israel   (08.21.15)
Goodness and the American Jews who jump up and down screaming screeching "France is Anti-Semitic move to Israel" "Europe is Anti-Semitic move to Israel" and most recently over the cancellation of Matishayu's Concert "Spain is Anti-Semitic move to Israel before they start killing the Jews again." And now all you fine Dah!mericans are silent! Where are you? Sitting on your hands in a dark room!? Are you afraid to speak out? So here it is right back at you: American Airlines is Anti-Semitic ... no company cancels a profitable transport line for no reason....get on it guys...you are going to have to admit... The United States of America is Anti-Semitic! After all in the past 10 years 60% of all hate crimes are perpetrated against JEWS and some have even been murdered (that would be you, the quiet Jewish Dah!mericans) American Airlines is cancelling a profitable transport line and all you fools have to say is "Obama, Obama" "El Al, El Al" Really? Your utterly afraid is showing. Your utterly ignorant is showing. Your utterly hypocritical is showing. Let me tell you: "Jewish Dah!mericans the United States of America is Anti-Semitic...come on now pack up your things and move to Israel BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! You have been warned...act now...aliyah lines are open to receive you in the only Jewish safe haven in all the world.
4. The supercilious Americans have lost their bravado!
Jew-C ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (08.21.15)
Interesting to note, not a single one is calling this baby by its name. Its name for the record is Antisemitism. It is time for you Americans to take the advice that you ALWAYS hand out to others... Move to Israel for America is an Antisemitic nation.
5. AntiSemitic Bats in the American Belfry
Sally Forth ,   Israel   (08.21.15)
Americans it is time for you to come and roost in the HomeLand. :)
6. Ur Bald Eagle is AntiSemitic, ur screwed!

7. People this is anti-semitism...plan & simple
(08.21.15)
what's wrong are you to scared to admit it? the writing is on the wall.
8. Ms. Lomas-Malamud repeating something doesn't make it true!
(08.21.15)
clearly the Israeli employees are small fry, there are bigger fish in the ocean...for example the entire Arab world! My dear this is a boycott.
9. American Airlines pulls out of Israel
Charlene Dorame ,   Tucson USA   (08.21.15)
This is such a devastating decision and I truly believe that there is more than what meets the eye. This government is the worst ever as far as relations with Israel The Iran Nuclear deal, trying to force Israel to give up Palestine, this is called BETRAYAL and WE as a COUNTRY will pay for this. God said " I will curse those who curse you and I will bless those who bless you." This is why America has been so blessed up until today. We were the only country to support Israel and to be a safe haven for the Jews. May God have mercy on us and protect Israel also in these last days. Amen
10. American Airlines action
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (08.21.15)
Great news! Little by little, BDS is getting established and growing deep roots. It may indeed be possible to rid the world of the Zionist entity entirely by non-military means.
11. @10 the curse @ Exodus 22:24 is on ur head now.
Jew-C ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (08.22.15)
You do realize that the very computer or smart phone you writing your message from has all ISRAELI components. Yes you supercilious insouciant churl, you are going to need to STOP using your computer and smart phone...go on then do join the BDS boycott...because it will be so much nicer here without you.
12. Like the time
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (08.22.15)
The American government turned back that cruise liner full of Jews in 1940, who ended up in Auschwitz?
13. AA never flew to TA. USAirways did
(08.22.15)
14. Probably Had More To Do With Obnoxious Passengers
World Citizen ,   the world   (08.22.15)
Israelis and religious kooks in general are hard to do business with. Imagine having to deal with some Jewish mullah who refuses to sit besides a woman? Or someone who demands services for free when everyone else has to pay? Everyone remembers the YouTube video of he Israeli family screaming at an attendant for some imagined slight. Definitely no worth the trouble.
15. @12 you mean the vessel named "MS St. Louis"
Jew-C ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (08.23.15)
the ship's passengers saw the lights of Miami and then were turned away due to USA immigration quotas. N.B. the captain of the vessel, Gustav Schröder, was recognized for his noble efforts in 1957 he was awarded the Order of Merit by the Federal German Republic and in 1993 Yad Vashem here in Jerusalem honored him with the title "Righteous Among the Nations"
16. Pulling Out
Harvey Messer ,   Chicago, IL   (08.23.15)
Nothing to do with "losing money". Absolutely everything to do with politics.
17. American Airlines
Joel Reinstein ,   Boca Raton, US   (09.20.15)
I've been a loyal flyer of US Air now American Airlines. Flying the Philadelphia- Tel Aviv route many times a year. Very disappointed. I have decided to stop flying AA and will begin flying El Al, which I know I can count on. By the way, I have been a Platinum cardholder with well over 1 million miles on AA.
