Honey, a mideast cooking staple, is never requested Gazans or sent by so-called "aid groups". Nor is high fructose corn syrup, another cheap sweetner ofcommerce that can substitute for sugar in cooking. Of course, its all empty calories of no value in human nutrition, as any "real doctor" will tell you. All the Hamas masters of Gaza want sent in is - highly refined, pure sugar, in bags, by the hundreds of tons. Why? Because only pure, highly refined granulated sugar works well in the terrorist recipe for sucrose-potassium nitrate rocket propellant; liquid honey and corn syrup yield very inferior propellant that doesn`t work in large diameter rockets like kassams. Why Israeli authorities keep intercepting bags of refined sugar concealed in "aid shipments" from UN/EU/Jordan. Not that explaining that to you two makes a difference in your bigoted thinking.
