Riyadh - Paper cups made in Israel have caused a storm of protest in a Saudi hospital, the Saudi newspaper Arab News reports. Officials at the King Khaled National Guard Hospital says they are investigating after the catering subcontractors for the coffee shops in the hospital ran out and began using Israeli paper cups with Hebrew writing on them, sparking outrage among the customers.
Hospital executive director, Saleh Al-Mazroi, said the matter had been referred to the authorities in Riyadh and action would be taken.
The manager and owner of the catering company, Ibrahim Al-Musbah, told Arab News that the paper cups had been delivered to his company by mistake and looked like the ones they usually used.
The Saudi cup controversy comes a week after lawmakers in neighbouring Kuwait called for any Kuwaiti who visits Israel to be stripped of their passport. The request was prompted by an interview with Israel's foreign minister Silvan Shalom, published by a local newspaper, in which he claimed that businessmen from the tiny oil-rich emirate regularly travelled to Israel for business trips of medical treatment.
BS. Dixie Riddle Cups would piss them off.
Hate, Hate, Hate the religion of Islam.
To hospital patients: Oh, for crying out loud. Get over yourselves.
They are so freaking backwards.
unlike the "outrage" they have shown at fellow-muslims blowing up people all ove the free world.
And we risked our peoples' lives for these a**holes? My word but these people are bigots, and meatheads to boot!
LOL! nail on the head!
"Kuwait called for any Kuwaiti who visits Israel to be stripped of their passport"
Gee, aren't ya' glad we restored their freedom?
This is a funny story. :)
Hey US Government, are you taking notice of
all of this tolerance in the muslim world?
Maybe they've been taking lessons from those who throw a fit about Dixie cups or a Confederate flag symbol. I have the same amount of sympathy for both groups.
I could understand their outrage if it were green jello but paper cups...give me a break!
These people are disgusting inbred ignorant dolts who are definitely the low-end of the gene pool and a definite waste of perfectly good genetic material.
How can someone be so d**n ignorant such a complete waste of skin to compalin about paper cups made in Israel with hebrew writing on the bottom? Bet that "unclean" cup is cleaner than any muslim.
