Yemen’s Armed Forces have hit the Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv after several attempts by the Israeli military to intercept it failed.

The missile bypassed four layers of air defense and landed in the heart of Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday, with both Arrow and THAAD systems failing to intercept the advanced missile.

Israeli daily Yedioth Aharonot, citing emergency services, said at least seven people were injured in the attack.

Israeli media published footage from the moment when a ballistic missile launched from Yemen made a “direct impact” in the main airport.

      Yeah, the flight attendants and pilots working for e.g. Wizz Air are compliant with killing civilians in Palestine. Get a grip.

        In a small way they are doing a little to legitimize the occupation by pretending it as a normal state. However the real culprit regarding the flight attendants and pilots are airlines like Wizz Air who are not only chosing to collaborate with a genocidal fascist regime but also to put their employees in harms way.

        they could refuse to fly to the fascist outpost and thereby put a little bit more pressure on them, but i guess no. it’s all fine, they’re just doing their job ferrying people to and from a genocidal entity.

              This feels like a rather privileged take. While it is morally correct to do so, adults typically don’t live their lives doing morally correct things all the time. As an example, I think not paying taxes to the US government is also morally correct since taxpayer money goes to support Ukraine and Israel, among other things. When are all US-based hexbear users quitting their jobs?

                the US government has a sovereign currency, you not paying taxes doesn’t take money out of their coffers it just causes you problems.

                not that it matters but i’m too poor to pay federal taxes gigachad

                  I’ve never been to the US lol

                  Part of my family lives in Russia and there have been many moral quandaries with respect to continuing to live there and working in an economy increasingly oriented towards producing murder. Some chose to stay, some left; I don’t think any choice is for me to judge from a position of superiority.

                  No need to be rude, I don’t even disagree with you. Just feel like discussions around this and similar issues tend to go Hegelian and ignore the materialist component of Marxian dialectics, specifically the privilege inherent in boycott, to the point where it feels like the neoliberal “freedom” to work wherever you want is being treated as real.

          Yeah but have you considered that they weep in sorrow and have minor migraines afterwards? Oh the pain and suffering these “hapless”, “choiceless” white collar workers have to go through!

            So people should just quit their jobs because the CEO of the Airline decided not to suspend flights to Israel?

              the person that replied to you already provided one of many examples that people in that position could do. The people that are oppressed, that don’t have the luxury of having a permanent roof over their heads (any makeshift camps eventually gets destroyed by the entity), that have their children stolen from them, whether metaphorically or literally, or become orphaned themselves, etc etc don’t get to have a say in the matter.

              To equate them to fucking flight attendants that are perfectly capable of taking even the most minimal of actions, which at worst case could get them a slap on the wrist, is absurd, disgusting and vile, lib.
