I clicked through to the union website, and they are quite radical, actually, and appear to be anti-Israel. It's no surprise that they would promote a pro-Hamas, pro-Iranian approach to the war.

Luckily, El Al is still flying, and probably making good custom from the supply-and-demand situation, too. It's likely they'll keep profiting, along with the various Arab airlines still servicing Tel Aviv, until the American carriers finally notice the lost profits and jump back in.

Unions have always been rather left wing, if not openly Marxist, but it's sadly telling that a bunch of (mostly white, female) flight attendants would come out against Israel in its time of need.

Are you sure they mostly white females? I agree on the left winged status but only white women …. No I don’t think so

Sometimes it’s the bosses. Fein from the U.S. autoworkers is an out and proud terror supporter. Rank and file can think for themselves and hopefully will realize that they are the kulaks and bourgeois targeted by these Stalinists.

Agree completely regarding the fact that rank and file are today's kulaks and bourgeoisie targeted by the revived Stalinists.
