Embargo by any other name would still be a pain in the ass.

From CNN


The FAA has told U.S. airlines that they are prohibited from flying to or from Israel's Ben Gurion Airport for up to 24 hours.

While this bothered me as soon as I saw it, I'll play the devil's advocate and say this is only a safety issue. And they did say 24 hours.

Yes, I'm sure it has nothing to do with a Palestinian rocket landing near the airport.

The sensible thing to do would be to encourage Israel to resolve this Palestinian rocket issue once and for all, not to ban flights to Israel.

Well, Delta and United already had decided to stop flying to Israel until the situation has been resolved, anyway.

I agree they need to resolve the issue permanently, but what with lots of MANPADS out in the wild and an uncontrolled situation, I think it is a prudent step.

Just passenger airlines? Or cargo carriers as well?

On a somewhat related note, I was wondering yesterday about Israel's endogenous munition production. Can the Israelis manufacture all their own munitions? Enough to meet demand in a long war? I'm just wondering how they'd hold up if they couldn't rely on supplies from US firms.

And Korean Air has suspended flights as well.

ETA: It looks like US Air suspended flights before the FAA notice too.

So, you're saying you'd like to see a US Air/United/Delta plane get shot down for political reasons? How many American citizens would you like to see burn, sir?

Before the shoot down of the commercial plane, there was flight ban in place over Southern Ukraine. After the shoot down of the commercial plane, the ban expanded to include Eastern Ukraine.

Then again, are the rebels attacking Kiev?

A temporary flight restriction isn't a big deal at all. There is a lot that happens there even the Americans don't know about.

I'll never forget having a beer on the beach in Tel Aviv and watching a US airliner pop flares.
