Flights out of Israel

Israeli passengers aboard an El Al flight began attacking the crew after they tried to show a movie.

When the screens began to unfold in preparation for the screening, the ultra-Orthodox men began going wild. "It was a pretty frightening sight," a passenger on the plane described the events. According to witnesses, the men began shouting and physically trying to prevent the movie screens from unfolding.


Meanwhile, other Israelis are causing concern among fellow passengers as they take to wrapping themselves in plastic bags on flights. They are not supposed to fly over cemeteries - which are filled with ghosts and other spooky creatures, such as hobgoblins and banshees - but, by wrapping themselves in plastic bags, they can hide from God who may not notice them and be tricked into thinking it's just an empty garbage bag laying in the seat.

I don't understand the poll, wasn't this a flight to the Ukraine?

Hmmm, and here all this time I always thought it was a very bad idea putting plastic bags over one's head. Maybe I'm angering God because I don't like suffocation?

darfaq?

My guess is it could be a religious thing, or a disease thing. Either way, doesn't look comfortable!

AS to Israel Iran, couldn't Israel just hit Syria, basically dealing a major blow to Iran (Hezzbolah) if Assad falls from power?

I chose the aggressive, egalitarian policy. It's only right.


Also, not a big fan of that kind of fundamentalism.
