Paris air traffic controller radios 'Free Palestine' to El Al pilots just after takeoff

[question everything]

An air traffic controller at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris went on the radio and broadcast “Free Palestine” to the pilots of an El Al flight moments after takeoff Monday, Israel’s flagship carrier said on Tuesday.

El Al, whose Paris offices were vandalized last week, said it has been in contact with Israel’s Civil Aviation Authority over the “unprofessional and inappropriate” radio incident.

Any deviation from standard procedures could lead to disaster during takeoff, the airline said.

The Civil Aviation Authority was in contact with its French counterparts, according to El Al.

French Transportation Minister Philippe Tabarot later announced the air traffic controller’s indefinite suspension and said disciplinary action would be taken.

1. El Al's Paris offices were marked with an inverted red triangle a few days ago, and now this.

The air traffic controller needs to be fired. His certification/license should be pulled as well. At the very least, he's a danger to public safety.

But whaaaaaaaaat about . . .

Controller is probably a descendant of Joseph the kitchen assistant in Au Revoir, Les Enfants. He would have turned in Pere Jacques de Jesus (Righteous Among The Nations) to the Gestapo.

Pere Jacques hid Jews in his private school and was sent to a concentration camp along with his students and teacher.
