The unfriendly skies: On United, your checked bags might be riding alongside some tank parts bound for Israel.

United Airlines is set to resume the shipment of military hardware to Israel aboard passenger flights, according to shipping data reviewed by The Intercept. The airline, one of the biggest in the world, had halted the practice more than six months ago amid the outbreak of the war on Iran.

On Wednesday evening, United is scheduled to transport five shipments of military cargo onboard United Airlines flight 90, a passenger route from Newark Liberty International Airport, in New Jersey, to Tel Aviv, Israel, a day after resuming the route and another direct flight to Israel, records show.

Using open-source methods to find publicly accessible cargo documents, researchers with the Movement Research Unit — a group that provides investigative muscle for left-wing groups and causes — said they tracked 2,761 shipments to weapons manufacturers transported by United aboard 160 civilian passenger flights between July 24, 2025, and February 27, 2026.

      Like KHamasspitals except there’s actually weapons in the United Airlines and none in the Khamasspitals

      Every accusation.

              They’re mocking the way zionist propagandists speak by exaggerating it.

              For some reason, native Hebrew speakers apparently can’t pronounce the “ha” sound without a k sound in front of it, and they tend to prolong and exaggerate the “mas” part at the end as a way of signifying scorn.

              Such is the groupthink of Zionism that native English speaker Hasbarists with no such pronunciation difficulties often copy this in order to sound “authentically” bigoted towards the people they’re dehumanizing.

            Avoiding the question is suspicious. Is it some dog whistle for a hate group or something? Why would you not just answer the question?
