I don't want to argue that the radical settlers are destroying (they are stealing none of it) the food that would otherwise go to the criminal elements who DO steal food from the starving, which is bad enough, but "desparate "criminal elements" ?????

Unless you meant to call them disparate, which would have met with my agreement, those thugs are neither desperate nor starving. They control Gaza's black market. Not only do they steal from starving palestinians and stuff themselves with stolen food, they sell the leftovers at huge, unaffordable to most, markups to the people they just robbed.

Speaking of well fed and hideous religious zealots!

If I didn't know any better, I would have sworn that you are mocking yourself.
