Depends on the orange. In fact, only Valencia oranges are in season in June and July.

That's what they want you to think.

Came for "eliminated all the juice", can die happy now.

And also, I just want to give the Chinese a hearty slap on the back. They've gone from pirating electronics and DVDs to creating counterfeit fruit. That takes a special dedication to copyright and patent violations.

I understood exactly what you were doing. I just find it humorous to take a subtle joke and make it painfully obvious.

Also, I hate the term refugee camp. Refugee camp creates images of filthy tents, disease and starving children.

Palestinian "refugee camps" contain multi-story apartment blocks, running water and eletricity, internet cafes and discos.

What I want to know is: what Iranian thought it would be a good idea to import Chinese oranges with "Grown in Israel" stickers on them?

Technically, they are "ghettos".

In the old-school meaning of the term.

Like the Warsaw Ghetto during the Nazi occupation of Poland... complete with the walls surrounding the area, the barbed wire and armed guards to prevent anyone from leaving, and the periodic "sweeps" of the ghetto to detain "troublemakers" and "malcontents".

As for the running water and the electricity, those are cut off at will by the authorities, and are often used to perform "collective punishment" upon those living inside the ghetto.

Like the last time the residents of the Ghetto foolishly believed that they were allowed to vote for whomever they wished when voting in democratic elections... and made the mistake of "voting wrong" for Hamas.

A lot of collective punishment came out of that little "mistake".

Dwight_Yeast: What I want to know is: what Iranian thought it would be a good idea to import Chinese oranges with "Grown in Israel" stickers on them?

Just a guess but you can charge more for contraband.
Cuban cigars, etc.

General Zang: Technically, they are "ghettos".

There's the right word.

Ironic that is comes from the area the Venetians forced their Jews to live in.

Nina_Hartley's_Ass: Just a guess but you can charge more for contraband.

but it would be like labeling something "Made in North Korea" and trying to sell it in this country.

/My suspicion is that the oranges were originally intended for some other market, that an Iranian saw them, ordered them, and that neither he nor the Chinese merchant he bought them from knew what the little stickers said.

Came here for the 'death to all juice' and 'I have eliminated all the juice' memes, can go to sleep happy now.

This was quite possibly the stupidest farking article I have ever read in a major newspaper.

Is this one of those classic irony things where the abused grows up to be the abuser or something?

Oh, wait a minute, I forgot - it's all justified because a bunch of a half literate thugs with small arms and home made rockets threaten the security of the only nuclear power in the middle east.

Yeah.... or something like that.

TwistedFark: Is this one of those classic irony things where the abused grows up to be the abuser or something?

Pretty much; those who were subjugated and denied basic rights for hundreds of years are now the subjugators and deniers of rights.

Avigdor Lieberman has been calling for Arab loyalty tests for a long time. And he's now in a position of power. This is dangerous.

I'm not trying to win points in your book. I don't give a flying f*ck about your book. The link does not, but he has. This is not up for dispute. It is now common to question Arab loyalty to the state, just as it was common in Nazi Germany to question Jewish loyalty. I'm not trying to Godwin for the sake of Godwinning, but sometimes it's impossible not to.

Arabs killing other arabs of a different sect. What else is new.

"The careless reader or viewer could have got the impression that this was a massacre unique in the modern history of the Middle East, and that it was perpetrated directly by the Israelis. Neither was true"

Specifically targeting civilian areas, and using "collective punishment" against civilian populations, and the use of forced deportations of civilian populations from occupied areas, are violations of the Geneva Conventions.

They are also classified as War Crimes, and quite a few people wearing uniforms and who had the "I was only folowing orders and defending the Reich" excuse on their lips, were hung until dead for similar acts.

Or should I say it slowly as some sort of internet-tough-guy routine: People-were-hanged-by-the-neck-until-dead-for-pulling-shiat-like-this.

Oh wait... I know, I can probably REALLY build up some internet-tough-guy bonus points, if I make some sort of insult directed at your screen name. Then I'll be uberleet and stuff.

Ummm, no.
The ACTUAL "Old School" meaning of the term refered to the midieval European ghetto,
which was actually a privilege rather than a punishment.
Jewish residents had to ask for special permission to set up a ghetto.
Within the bounds, they could live under Jewish day-to-day laws and customs,
worship freely (protection from Church authorities), and be protected under the law
from pogroms/proscriptions where neighbors would attack them

If anything, in that last aspect Gaza is a "Reverse-Ghetto" -
it's been set up to protect the neighbors from the residents attacking,
instead of to protect the residents from the neighbors attacking.


As for the running water and the electricity, those are cut off at will by the authorities, and are often used to perform "collective punishment" upon those living inside the ghetto.

Yes, it's SO BARBARIC of those Israelis to not continue to feed the hand that's biting them.

I suspect it was the rocket launching at random civilian targets like schoolyards,
not so much the voting itself.

Ya think?
