...Ethnics. Haddad, naturally, was outraged over the whispering campaign. He tried to catch up with the rumors by pointing out that his mother is a Russian-born Jew who keeps a kosher home, and that his father had the misfortune of having been born in Cairo to Egyptian Jews. He protested to the Fair Campaign Practices Committee, issued statements, got Jimmy Roosevelt to make a public statement on his behalf, and met with Yiddish-language newspaper editors in an attempt to convince them that he is just as Jewish as Farbstein...

Except for a few Christian Arab areas, pork products are not for sale, although nonkosher shrimp is available. El Al airlines does not originate or terminate flights...
...founding, faces some unique problems. Because ZIM cannot use the Arab-owned Suez Canal, it must divide its fleet between Israel's Mediterranean and Red Sea ports, thus cannot always have its ships where it needs them most. Wydra's plan to serve nonkosher as well as kosher food aboard the Shalom to broaden the ship's appeal brought on protests from Israel's vociferous orthodox party that forced him to back down.
