The Future of Delta's Stock

Saudi Arabia never was on my list of the top ten places to visit mainly because I wouldn't be able to find any kosher meat there or any kosher bakeries. So finding rugelach or kosher shish kabob would be out of the question.

I'd also probably wind up getting thrown into jail for looking suspicious or Semitic in the wrong kind of way, so I will nix the idea.

I used to work with someone from that country with a natural PR bent, who said that they were very hospitable to their Jews. I didn't know there were any. Judging by their lack of synagogues, kosher bakeries and Federation fundraisers over there, and it doesn't look like they are interested in having any, either.

And so it will remain now that Delta Airlines has partnered with Saudi Arabian Airlines along with the following stipulations. In addition to the baggage limit when flying there, none of the following items will be allowed on board:

Stars of David
Anything in Hebrew
Jewish Prayer books
Prayer Shawls
Yarmulkes
Rugelach
Sponge Cake
Crosses
Priests Collars
Catechism Books and
Holy Anointing Oil

Delta, an American company based in Atlanta, is going to comply. Who they do business with is their business, and who I buy my tickets from is mine, the same for the rest of the people in a country that has a Christmas tree on the White House every year.

Someone should pray for their stockholders and soon.
