Happy Holiday: IDF Sends Tons of Food to Gaza Arabs for Ramadan

(IsraelNN.com) The Sufa crossing point into southern Gaza opened for business today as IDF troops transferred tons of food to the Palestinian Authority (PA) for distribution among the Arabs of Gaza.
Twenty trucks carrying milk, beef, fruits, entered the Gaza district, after the food transfer was coordinated between the PA and an IDF unit responsible for coordinating government activities in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza.
The head of that unit, Col. Nir Press, said that the food transfer was approved as “an exception” to Israeli policy, by Gen. Dan Harel, head of the Southern Command of the IDF.
Since the August pullout from Gaza, crossing points from Israel into the Gaza district have been closed, because Israel and the PA have failed to reach agreement on how to operate them.
Today’s food transfer was made pursuant to a PA request prior to the Islamic holiday of Ramada.

Can anybody out there, in their wildest dreams...even after a fifth of Jack Daniels, imagine this gesture being reciprocated?

An explosion in a Tel Aviv pizzeria (God forbid) will probably be their response to such generosity.

The Islamofascists will probably claim it is poisoned and burn it.

That's a myth. Saltpeter doesn't do squat to the ...ahem..."seed spreading ability".

The IDF sends food, the PA sends rockets and suicide bombers.
Sounds like a strategy for national suicide.
Israel is likely lost.
