Steaks Flying over Gaza

By Published On: January 30, 2008

food rockets gaza.jpgAccording to an interesting piece in yesterday’s Spiegel Online about Kassam rockets manufactured in Gaza and fired at Israel, “The raw materials for one large rocket cost up to €500.”

I can’t help but imagine, on those days when 40 rockets at 500 Euros a piece are fired out of Gaza, that in fact $30,000 worth of pitas, beef, and vegetables are being launched out of the territory instead of being on the plates of hungry Gazans. And that’s before you factor in the cost to Gaza of Israel’s attempts to stop those rockets.

It brings to mind Golda Meir’s quote about peace not being possible before those in the region love their kids more than they hate Jews.
