My favorite chip dip is made with a green onion powder processed in Israel.

At the moment it is not being produced.

Seems like a minor issue, but I know that the cause is that the Palestinian employees are unable to go to work in the Israeli owned factory due to the high level of violence.

I'd like to have some more of that powder, and would, in fact, be willing to pay a higher price for it. The employees of that factory would like to be making the powder so that they can get paid. The owners would like to be able to have it on hand so they can sell it.

All this concern about who insulted who - the human focus - has messed up the economy and we are all unhappy. My joy will return only when I can buy more powder, the employees can be paid their earnings, and the factory owners can declare a profit!

The emphasis on the economy in the article I read referred to our economy as impacted by what is happening in Israel.

It's hard to imagine how those people manage when they can't get to their jobs.

That onion powder sounds great. Mix it with some sour cream or cream cheese. Where do you get it? Now you made me hungry. I don't even know where I can get halvah any more. Love that stuff.
