It also says to support our own. So why support the arabs and goyim because it is cheaper? No one has security as ELAL does and maybe they have to charge more because they are closed when others are open. Why not support that?
RB, being sarcastic and saying “not everyone has money trees all over their lawn” is NOT an excuse. It seems that it is only convenient to be a JEW in certain areas but NOT all. That is just a cop out. IF you are going to spend the money to go to Israel then know how you should spend your money in the most efficient and appropriate way. How come those people without money don’t have to ask a sheilah if they have to support the Jewish airline that the Rabbobim force to be closed on Shabbos? How come the Rabbonim don’t comes straight out and say that everyone should fly ELAL because they are the Jewish airline and they are closed on Shabbos!!!!!
