answer quick..pls.

Answer 1

Yeah! It is called HATRED and it is fed through the handling of an infected rag called religion. Economics cannot be discussed because hatred of their fellow man is the only issue on the agenda.

While working in the Middle East in the late 60's I was in the small emirate of Quatar on the docks next to the Gulf. At the FAR end of the dock sat a large Caterpillar Brand WIDE stance 20,000 lb capacity forklift truck. One of its 4 tires was low on air and another was flat. The yellow paint had been well worn by the salt air.

I inquired as to why it was sitting there (the dock was a VERY well kept place) and was told that it was the property of the Saudi Arabian Government and that they has come to pick it up but after an inspection showed that the engines' ignition coil was actually Made in Israel, they refused to take delivery of it.

I said, WELL, if all the problem was a coil, why not just swap it out and go on their way?

Arabs don't work that way when it comes to Israel profiting from their purchases. Their refusal of delivery was NOT just to punish Isreal but to punish ANY vendor so bold as to utilize ANY Zionist made products in thier design.

Such is the rational of hatred.
