Like that Jews get a free airplane ride from America to and then back from Israel, which American tax dollars pay for...so I wouldn't call it "marketing".

Isn't it more like what the casinos do...they give you a free trip so you will gamble your wages away?

This comment is about as ignorant as most on this board. You are referring to the "Birthright Israel" program, a privately funded educational program for young Jews.

I've been to Israel over twenty times, and I'm yet to have an airline offer to fly me for free. What gives?
