freak show goes political, new york-detroit

who holds political rallies in aeroports? hassidic jews it would seem.
i arrived in jfk and hopped on the little aeroport rail to get to the next gate from which i would be departing. the whole process went really quickly and i arrived in my departure lounge with over 3 hours to kill. i made a complete tour of the aeroport. the architecture doesnt match: some parts are really pretty and the rest is another ugly aeroport. then i played around on my computer and watched the people in my groggy sleep deprived way. but then i heard people shouting into a microphone...so i followed the sounds and i saw that a political rally was going on, right in the aeroport. the speaker, a young woman, was calling for beirut to be bombed into the stone age. the audience, hasidic jews waiting for their flight to tel aviv, was applauding and aggreeing vigourously.
appauled and unable to believe people could get so happy about ANYONE being bombed, i watched out of horror for a few minutes before moving on to another part of the terminal where el salvadoran gast arbeiters were waiting for there flight home. it is a good thing i had to take tons of spanish in school, it is certainly of use in this aeroport, where it appears to be the language of preference. at least i can understand what everyone is saying around me....although i am not always sure that i want to....
