(Commentary) Eugene Kontorovich - Israel's "growing isolation" was always a myth. Israel's trade with Europe has grown constantly in recent years, even as it developed new markets and ties in Asia. Now, however, international isolation has truly arrived - with the suspension of American and European flights to Israel's Ben-Gurion Airport. Ben-Gurion remains an extremely safe airport. The FAA had many various measures short of a flight ban, like warnings, that it could have imposed. The FAA only warns airlines about flying to Afghanistan; it does not ban them. The FAA move comes the day after a general State Department warning about Israel - though far more people were killed in Chicago on Fourth of July weekend than in the Jewish state since the start of the Gaza campaign.2014-07-23 00:00:00Full Article
