Not too bright, the folks at El Al airlines. Notice how they spell Golan:

The airline promotes a piece on the top 10 things to see and do in the occupied Golan Heights. Shouldn’t international travelers be warned about entering occupied territory?

H/t to Scott Roth, who also retweeted this one from El Al’s feed. Jeez.

Please Philip never ever ever go to the Golan Heights.
Our neighbour are quite restless right now god forbid smething happens to you.

El Al, the most customer obnoxious airline in the world.
Every non jewish passenger is regarded as a security risk. Zionism in practice means everyone outside the bubble is a potential enemy. It is no way to run a consumer facing business. And the food is dreadful. It is supposed to taste better because the stones are holier but if you don’t buy that mumbo jumbo it really sucks.

Holy stones? The living stones are the Palestinians, most direct descendants of the earliest Christians. Too bad the American Christian Zionists are not aware of this. They are too busy giving more charity cash to Israel than the American Jewish Community does. After all, it’s their Christian insurance policy to Heaven. Between the Christian Zionist insurance policy and Israel’s insurance policy for the Jews on planet earth, worldwide, we will have endless war and suffering for the rest of us on earth.

Between the Christian Zionists willing to expend actual Palestinian life, including Palestinian Christian life, to save their souls for the heaven to come after they die, and the Jewish Zionists willing to expend the same people to live high privilege on the hog on this earth, I am perplexed as to which is more programmed to dispense evil daily on innocent humans.

Golan Heights Winery Label their wine as “wine of Israel” and “produced and bottled by Golan Heights Winery Katzrin Israel” according to European Union Legislation EU Reg Number 607/2009 Article 55 It is mandatory to indicate “country of origin” on the label, which in this case should be Syria. see example here:

this is a criminal offence, this regulation is mandatory throughout Europe, watch this space. UNSC Resolution 497 [December 1981] declared that the acquisition of territory by force was inadmissible and that Israel’s decision to impose it’s laws, jurisdiction and administration in the Golan Heights is null and void and without legal effect.

In the wine example above Golan Heights Winery claim the grapes where grown exclusively in the Golan Heights, so that under World Trade Organization and European Union “country of origin rules” Rules which are consistent with the UK Trade Descriptions Act 1968 Section 36.. “country of origin”.
For the purposes of this Act goods shall be deemed to have been manufactured or produced in the country in which they last underwent a treatment or process resulting in a substantial change.
These European Regulations would probably apply to all Golan Heights wine.
