Yeah it was fine except for the part where it was completely false and hugely misled a lot of people

I also cannot think of a better title that actually fits. It's kind of a dense issue.

"Kuwait Airlines ends London-NY flights, b/c US notices they refuse Israelis"

(With 5 characters to spare if the max length is the current title's 80)

Israelis are stereotypically Jews, and the issue from one side was that Israelis aren't a nationality. So, "no jews allowed" is close enough for a flippant space-constrained summary.

It did mislead at least one person and some combination of it and the OP mislead several more, so I'll acknowledge that something went hideously wrong. I'd still be inclined to blame the OP for that more than the title, though, despite the one example to the contrary.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

SHHHH don't let anyone say that Israelis can also be Arabian.

Space isn't really a valid excuse considering that I just proved that it was possible to fit everything important in 75 characters - 74 if you remove the unimportant comma (and it hardly took any time at all). Of course the OP didn't say jews in the subject because of space concerns. It said and still says jews throughout the post.

TBH this thread should probably just disappear.

Israel != Jews, and Jews != Israel. No matter how much the Israeli lobby would like to convince people otherwise.

Yep, that's an important distinction to maintain, considering how often AIPAC plays the anti-Semitism card to tar U.S. political figures that don't blindly back pro-Israel foreign policy.

It disgusts me to see people defend such a move.
