Muddle East

Allah has EL AL in his hand
The First Class fares don't understand
The pilot and crew
Don't care who has who
They just want the airplane to land

I love this one and so true. It should permanently be renamed that.

No one is the same as their parents, siblings, nor offspring, so I remain mystified why people insist we should all be the same! Aloha!

To me, it has always been a land of intolerance, a place to avoid. Aloha!

Luckily, you don't have to live like that every day of your life! Aloha!

The biblical phrase el-al, meaning “upward,” “heavenward,” “aloft” or, most fittingly, “skyward,” was painted on the body of the C-54. I lost all due respect for the Jews for Trump, shameful!
