Palestinian pinata?

Does the flight staff remove the body when the fellow dies of asphyxiation or do they have to call a dead jew removal service?

I'm only saying this because there might be some women, gays and gentiles on the flight staff. Wouldn't want to be unkosher, would we?

It might start to rain in the airplane, at least he is prepared.

At least he's not wearing a turban, that would really alarm the other passengers.

A twist-tie is much less threatening.

poor thing is a victim of white privilege, they dont print those warning labels about stuffing your head into plastic bags in yiddish.

Cannot they just rule that 6 miles above is not near?

Cannot they just rule that 6 miles above is not near?

I'm sure one rabbi in this guy's hometown did, but he follows the other rabbi.

[Azrael]

Maybe he's afraid that John Midas will touch him and turn him in to chocolate.

No point in making a new thread, so I'll just post this here:

Are Liberal Jewish Voters a Thing of the Past?

FOR generations, American Jews, and particularly Jewish New Yorkers, have largely been identified as ardent liberals.

Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe formed a substantial core of early 20th-century progressives and socialists. More recently, 70 percent of Jews voted for President Obama in 2012, about the same as Hispanics, and were exceeded in their enthusiasm mainly by African-Americans.

But that liberal image is poised to change.

A 2012 demographic study by UJA-Federation of New York found that 60 percent of Jewish children in the New York City area — the Jewish center of the United States — live in Orthodox homes, which suggests that in a generation a majority of the city’s one million Jews may be classified as Orthodox. A sizable percentage of those children happen to be Hasidim, the group that has fueled Orthodox growth with its astonishing fecundity. (Seven or eight children per family is common and one Hasidic woman, Yitta Schwartz, had about 2,000 living descendants when she died in 2010.)

[...]

Samuel Heilman, a City University of New York sociology professor who has studied Hasidim, said that as Hasidim and other ultra-Orthodox people become more politically influential and gain power in secular realms (as they have done on the East Ramapo school board in Rockland County, for example), there will inevitably be clashes with American values.

“Being in charge of local governments creates tensions with neighbors on such questions as how much of the school budget should go for busing kids in yeshivas and other private schools versus the needs of the larger community,” he said. “They’re not used to being a political power and haven’t accepted the consequence of being a political power. They still think of themselves as an embattled minority.”

I find this very interesting. The secular-liberal Jews have assimilated into urban culture to the point that they are dying out. This means, as the article says, that the image of the average New York Jew will slowly change from an urbanite with some distinctive features (stereotyping, I know), to a weirdo belonging to a secretive cult. Extrapolation (I know, I know) suggest that the Jews are set to steadily lose influence in New York and, probably, in the rest of the USA as well. This does not bode well for Israel. Spengman's dream (conservative Orthodox Jews) and nightmare (loss of support for Israel) are both coming true at the same time.

Depends which Israeli Jews you identify with Israel. Netanyahu voters and the extreme right won't be happy. The political center and left from it won't bother. They are more bothered by the Israeli orthodox Jews outbreeding everybody.
