The reported stated that last week, 85 trucks loaded with 450 tons of agricultural produce arrived at the Karni crossing, but were forced to return. The company had to destroy all the produce that the trucks were transporting last week, plus 70 tons of fresh vegetables.

Check out the picture of "starving" Palestinians throwing out good food. So if they can't make money off the Jews with the food they just throw it out?! they can't donate to all their neighbors sitting on the international dole? You wouldn't see see this &#$@ happen in Africa, an actual starving country. Why does ANY foreign aid go to these people?

[blueminnesota]

Here are the freaks.

[Publius6961]

I would conclude from this story that "palestinians" don't eat vegetables, or won't eat the "palestinian" varieties?

[zarf]

Crap, I bet my savings that the Pallies would double the yield of the evil Jooo's.

I had a better shot with the swamp land that guy was selling me in Florida.

[The Worthless Miracle]

They seem to hate greenhouses, too.

[right right]

They belong to the religion of peace, not the religion of intelligence.

This would be the produce formerly purchased by the EU. Why not now?

So the Karni Crossing is a crossing from where to where? Who closed it? Why is it closed?

[SmithL]

as a result of the closing of the Karni crossing since February 12, the company has incurred $450,000 in damages a day and the cumulative damage has reached $4.4 million.

I guess a relevant question would be "Why is the crossing closed?" Once they've answered that question, maybe they could learn from it.

[buwaya]

From Gaza to Israel. It was closed by Israel for security reasons.

They'll never address that question, neither the media nor the palestinians. IMO, they should stay closed.

[Alouette]

The Jews who used to own these greenhouses brought in about $24 million in revenue from sales of fresh produce to Europe and the U.S.

BTW I have seen Israeli red and yellow peppers at Farmer Jack (A&P chain) and Meijer supermarkets.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

[Balding_Eagle]

Why not go to another crossing?

Don't they have raod maps?

[SmithL]

IMO, they should stay closed.

IMO, Israel has come to the same conclusion.

Check out the picture of "starving" Palestinians throwing out good food.

They are stuck at the crossing, which is the only place where food can be transported in or out of the Gaza Strip. This crossing is under the control of the Israeli authorities, and is usually closed these days.

Once the trucks have gone in, they cannot go back with the produce. They either have to get permission to go forward, or stay stationary. Therefore, they throw the food out, as otherwise it will rot in the truck container.

[TASMANIANRED]

Pali's are blood lappers.

[American in Israel]

From Gaza to internal Israel, it was closed because of repeated attacks by the Palestinians. Other crossing points nearby were offered by the Israeli government that were easier to protect but the Palestinians refused them.

The Palestinians could easily have driven 20 minutes to the crossing points that were open.

But better to throw food out for a photo op than to eat. They will get millions in cash from leftists for this instead of a few trucks worth of produce payments.

The primary weapon of the intifadda is the Main Stream Media useful fools.

Obviously you have the new full bag version of the Burka, without the stylish eye slots.

[American in Israel]

In that picture you see Arabs, throwing out produce that was grown in Jewish Greenhouses, in boxes that were purchased by the Jews with power lines in the background that are pumping Jewish electricity into Gaza city. The clothes were imported with Jewish shipping and the truck was also imported that way.

The only thing that did not come from Israel in the picture is the Muslims.

Who cannot make a profit given all the tools, land, farms, trucks, power and water for free. Even when they finally produce something with value, they destroy it for spite.

Pigs just cannot sing, no matter how hard you try to teach them. When are we going to stop sending them our retirements for singing lessons?
