Delta Air Lines' plan to add Saudi Arabian Airlines to its SkyTeam Alliance of partnering companies would require the American carrier to ban Jews and holders of Israeli passports from boarding flights from New York or Washington bound for Jeddah, prompting outraged accusations of illegal religious discrimination.

The issue, which has caught the attention of the American Center for Law and Justice already, was raised when Washington attorney Jeffrey Lovitky was perusing airline procedures for travel.

Uh-oh.

Err......Saudi is a closed country........the only way you can get on an aircraft bound for a Saudi destination is if your passport has a Saudi visa.......

They don't give them out to anyone that applies.......you have to be invited into the country.

It isn't exclusively Jews, or folks travelling with Israeli passports, they "discriminate" against anyone they don't want, or need.  The only exceptions are expatriot Muslims on the "Haj" (Holy pilgrimage to Mecca).
