Iberian Airways infuriated Israeli passengers yesterday on an approach to Ben Gurion International Airport with an announcement welcoming people to “Palestine.”
The Iberian Airways pilot announced upon his approach to the airport Wednesday, in Spanish and then in English, the flight “would be landing shortly in Palestine.” The country “Israel” was never mentioned, according to passengers quoted by Israel’s Channel 2 TV.
According to one passenger interviewed by the news program, the omission was intentional. “He didn’t absentmindedly say it in English – it was intentional, and even more so in this tense time,” he said, noting there was no mention of the State of Israel throughout the flight.
It was “unacceptable, we all noticed it,” another passenger told the news program. A complaint has been filed with Iberia.

Good. Palestine can and should never belong to wealthy white Jews.
Music to my ears….
Help!…….’Anti-Semitism’…..
I may fly Iberian Airways just for the hell of it; what balls, what inntegrity
I am glad that the European Spanish people understand the situation and they do not let the thieves call this land Israel. Al this territory has been stolen from the Palestinians. In 1947 Israel owned only 15% of the territory, In 2015 Israel has stolen more than 90% of the original Palestinian land. Does the Jewish controlled news media ever said any thing about it? of course not.
