another version of Israeli apartheid?
Israel’s airports authority has refused to display adverts informing
female passengers that it is illegal for airline staff to ask them to
move seats at the behest of ultra-Orthodox Jewish men.
The Israel
Religious Action Center (IRAC) had planned to display the billboard ads
at Ben Gurion airport, near Tel Aviv, during Passover, the Jewish
holiday that ends on Saturday.
IRAC’s ad campaign follows a court ruling in June in favour of an 82-year-old Holocaust survivor,
Renee Rabinowitz, who sued Israel’s national airline, El Al, for gender
discrimination. Cabin crew had asked her to move when an ultra-Orthodox
man refused to take his seat next to her.
