Sandbox blog found amazing news in Boston Globe: Gaza Strip needs 680 000 tons of flour daily to feed its population.
One of the writers of the Globe article, Eyad al-Sarraj, is a founder of the Gaza Community Mental Health Program. One can only wonder if the mental health program deals with serious eating disorders. Really serious.
Because 680 000 tons a day is quite a lot for the population of 1.5 million. WTF do they do with almost half a ton of flour per person per day?

"Hey, we got the Nobel Peace Prize! Now you see how peaceful we are?"
The Hamas terrorists looted the home of the late Fatah terrorist Yassir Arafat and stole, among other things, Arafat's Nobel Peace Prize medal.
God knows how he got the damn thing in the first place. He was too unsavory a case even by the low standards of their reformed-terrorist category, partly due to not having been reformed, but I guess Osama and Carlos the Jackal were unavalable that year.
Anyway, now the new brave participants of the Middle East Peace Process have the medal. It might yet show up on somebody's neck during a beheading video, which would be embarassing but symbolic in a way.
The Hamas thugs stole pretty much everything else from Arafat's house, too, including furniture, water pipes and his widow's clothes. They also looted the homes of the living Fatah leaders.
Now I have to spend the rest of the day haunted by the mental image of Ismail Haniya and Hamas terrorist boy choir dressed in Arafat's widow's evening dresses and dancing, for some reason, to a version of Juice Leskinen's Valssaaja konepajalla: "innostuin, innostuin, innostuin, terroristipojan kanssa valssipyörteisiin mä uin, ja me tanssimme naurussa suin kun mä pommiohjeita luin..."
