It would seem that Emirates flies between Australia and New Zealand (which is pretty amazing given the usual lack of 5th freedom rights in the air ), and will welcome anyone on board as long as they aren't Jewish. Do please feel extremely free to spread this tidbit of information around...
As the article says, "could you imagine El Al doing the opposite?". Unfortunately the EL Al website is so bad I can't easily prove that El Al will actually do that (but this is official corroborating info on Emirates). I can just about see a justification for this (well no I can't but I'm willing to cut some slack) on flights from the UAE where it might be impossible to get Kosher food, but this is on a route that goes nowhere near the middle east and where Kosher food is available at both ends.
