      Not discounting how awful this incident is, but WTF are you on about? Do you think this is somehow representative of your average journey to a Middle Eastern country? Which one are you even talking about? There are a dozen different countries in the Middle East with different cultures and political climates.

        Name one country in the middle East that doesn’t have deliberately sexist laws and or bonded labour /slavery. I’ll wait.

    What the fuck

    in 2020 in which female passengers were subjected to invasive gynecological examinations.

    authorities were looking for the mother of a newborn baby found abandoned in a Hamad International Airport trash can

    they were taken off the flight to Sydney at Doha at gunpoint by guards and were searched without consent.

    Did I wake up 2,000 years ago or something? Am I still on earth?

    Qatar was “surprised and shocked” that Australia had rejected without explanation its application for additional services to Sydney

    Woooow. I literally don’t know what to say.

      Try opening the article.

      The Doha-based executive declined to detail the incident because five women are suing the airline in Australian Federal Court.
