On Tuesday, after a Hamas rocket exploded about a mile om Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport, the US Federal Aviation Administration announced it was suspending all US flights to Israel for 24 hours. While perhaps understandably motivated by fears of a US plane meeting MH17's fate, the decision came in for some criticism, particularly after the FAA announced it would continue the ban for another day. Israeli officials insisted the airport was safe, Michael Bloomberg called the ban “an overreaction,” and AIPAC said it “sends the entirely wrong message.”Yet Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) saw something even darker at work. “The facts suggest that President Obama has just used a federal regulatory agency to launch an economic boycott on Israel, in order to try to force our ally to comply with his foreign-policy demands,” he said in a Wednesday afternoon statement. During an appearance on Fox News hours later, Cruz went further (they start discussing Israel at 3:04): “The Obama administration is the most anti-Israel administration this government has ever had,” Cruz said. He asked why air traffic to Israel, rather than Pakistan, Yemen, or Ukraine was cut off. “The timing was at the exact moment Kerry was there trying to strong-arm Israel into stopping their efforts to shut down Hamas’s rockets and tunnels,” he continued. Essentially, Cruz argued, Obama was trying to choke off Israel’s tourism industry until it consented to a Gaza cease-fire. teapartytelegraph.com
