Hehe ... kvetching about them shekels.

It's not like they're in imminent danger anymore. Or that they had to be airlifted out under fire. They're taking regular passenger flights out of the country.

Germany did something similar: they chartered a Lufthansa flight and charged people 300€ for it (actual cost was 550€ and the taxpayer footed the extra 250€). Couldn't even fill an airplane. There are more people kvetching about a few shekels than actually wanted out of the country.

Edit: One reason why they charge money is because people book free flights, because why not, it's free, and then don't show up.
