Personally, I would rather they take flour than anything else and, if they get money for this act of “flour-terrorism” and use that money to live on rather than buy more bullets and explosives, that too is fine with me.

I’m not thrilled with the soldiers wasting their time, but I’d rather they find bottles with flour rather than bullets or explosives.

Yes, I realize that Nablus is not in Gaza, but when the palestinians in Gaza are complaining of shortages, it is quite telling that elsewhere they feel the need to waste it.

So with all due respect, Seth, this post makes sense.

For all that is just in the world, stop wasting flour, Ra’fat! How in the world am I supposed to make my pineapple pie for Shabbas? WHEN WILL THE MADNESS END?!?!

Can anybody spare a cup of flour?

You know I am normally a supporter, however this post really doesn’t make much sense. Unless there have been major changes in geography since I left Israel, Shchem (Nablus) is not in Gaza and has free access to flour.

Nablus aint in Gaza. Not that that really changes anything. Sadly the deprived Gazans have no checkpoints except to pay their tunnel taxes where lots of lots of flour comes through to feed rocket manufacturers.

But, but, but hamas just paid $5 mil+ to Jaish al-Islam while providing sanctuary for them in gaza. Couldn’t $223.95 of those funds have been spent on flour for eating purposes? Surely … Spit!!
