I've Been Thinking:

An Iberia Air airliner landing in Tel Aviv sent shock waves throughout Israel. Why you might ask?

Here's why. As they were landing the captain came over the loudspeaker, as is customary, and made his announcement. The captain announced that in a few minutes they would be landing at Ben Gurion Airport. They would, he said, be touching down in Palestine.

The announcement was made in both Spanish and in English. Throughout the entire trip the announcements never once mentioned Israel. Airplane personnel instead spoke of Palestine, Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport.

This is more than not PC. It is actually an international diplomatic incident. Iberia is the national airline of Spain, not dissimilar to Israel's national airline El Al.

There has yet to be a comment from Spain or from the airline.
Channel 2 TV News in Israel was the first to broadcast the story and then almost every media outlet in Israel ran with the story.

Ben Gurion Airport is in Israel. It is in Israel according to everyone who is involved in any negotiation. Only those who deny Israel's right to exist actually believe that Tel Aviv is in Palestine. Those deniers include Hamas, Iran and Hezbollah.

It is very unusual that Spain would side with Hamas, Iran and Hezbollah.
