IDF general: No justification for Gaza aid flotilla

Ok lets review it. Hamas controls tunnels. Gaza survives throught those tunnels. Hamas collect tax from tunnels. As much material smuggled from tunnels Hamas makes more money. With more money they can buy more weapons. And Hamas wants the siege to go on. Because siege is making Hamas rich. Flotilla Free food wthout tunnel tax And this is strengthenin Hamas You must be kidding me.

There is no easy money in Israel. You have to work. For easy money, go and ask your oil wealthy uncles, kings of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc. But, they dont give you money for food and good, but, for mosques and guns only Before critisizing Israel, you need to critisize your own relatives first.

Reuters) - The son of Egypts leader said on Thursday that food subsidies were easing the burden of rising prices in an interview on state television that boosted his public profile ahead of a 2011 presidential election.

He defended the governments record in shielding Egypt s poor from volatile food prices and said the NDP would continue backing a system under which a large portion of the population receives subsidised consumer goods.

President Hosni Mubarak, in power since 1981, has not said if he will seek a new six-year term. If he does not, most Egyptians believe the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) will name his 46-year-old son Gamal as its candidate.

2010-08-27 Columbus Local News: Region Arts Fest offers look at Christianity in Egypt -- and good food, too

Parishioners at St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church are hoping residents will drop by this weekend to learn a little more about Egyptian culture and history -- not to mention Egyptian food and artifacts.

As with any cultural festival, food is a key part of the experience. Shish kebab, shawarma, kafta, macaroni bechamel, goulash and grilled lamb are among the offerings, as are combination plates and Egyptian pastries.

Ancient Egypt is a subject covered in many history textbooks, but the church tour at the festival provides information on the history of Christianity and the Coptic church in Egypt, Ayad said, from the moment St. Mark set foot in the country to the present day.

2010-08-21 Other Voices: Food security is something politicians dont want to talk about - Opinion - Heritage

The government, in the past, has dumped its wheat on the open market to stabilize wheat prices in the near term, but that strategy doesnt work for an extended period and then prices for flour, bread, breakfast cereal, pasta and a host of other products escalates. This happened two years ago to a lesser degree with resulting bread riots in Egypt and elsewhere.

At that time, the politicians and everyone else in your food chain claimed it was really just higher fuel prices and transportation costs, not a shortage of grain on the world market that caused the problem.

Egypts dairy industry will continue to benefit from inward investment, as well as a more international outlook by domestic dairy producers which are eager to locate new sources of raw materials. In , it was reported that Gozour, the food unit of Egyptian private equity firm Citadel Capital, was in advanced talks to buy an Ethiopian food firm in its bid to boost self-sufficiency in raw materials.

Despite having already benefited from substantial amounts of investment, Egypts dairy sector continues to be dominated by small-scale producers, many of which produce only a small surplus production which is sold to extended family members and the local community.

2010-08-18 The truth about your sushi - Bikya Masr

Looking at sushi from a health perspective is not only scary; it is suicide, a recent report from the American governments Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Recent tests discovered that mercury levels in tuna sushi at 20 Manhattan stores and restaurants would exceed levels considered acceptable. But they are on the shelves anyway. At least five of those restaurants had mercury levels so high that the Food and Drug Administration could take legal action to remove the fish from the market. They werent. That is in the United States, imagine what those levels could be in Egypt, where lax sanitary and health regulations for local restaurants could mean the levels are even higher.
