Report: Israeli Candies Seized in Ain el-Hilweh
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A joint national and security forces committee has seized Israeli made candies in the southern Palestinian refugee camp of Ain el-Hilweh, al-Liwaa newspaper reported on Monday.
The candies had wrappers with Hebrew inscriptions on them and another layer of Arab writings about the name of the alleged Syrian factory that made them. They were stashed in hundreds of bags, it said.
The committee is now questioning the trader who smuggled the candies to the camp.
“This is a very dangerous phenomenon which should be resolved responsibly,” the head of the committee of social affairs for popular committees in the southern city of Sidon, Fouad Othman, said.
“This requires the reunification of all Palestinian efforts inside the camp,” he added.
Othman also urged the Lebanese authorities to investigate how the candies were smuggled to Lebanon and then to Ain el-Hilweh.

In any civilised society you would be sent to jail for your comments.
Grow up,go out and find a job or get back to your studies...bored young men are the ones who start conflicts in this world. You clearly have to much spare time as do most of the people commenting sporadically on this website.

Phoenician, really? And who is to blame when maronites and druze killed eachother? Or when muslims and shias fight, or when psp and hezballah fight or nd or and or, i can give you thousands of examples. Blaming others for our own problems used to work in the past but now people know better than that so grow up mr phoenician (do you speak phoenician lol?). You clearly dont live in lebanon.

Are you crazy or something? You just described ANY poor community whether in lebanon, middle east, the US or anywhere else on earth. You would be shocked to know that many lebanese artists, bankers, journalists and other prominent respected people are actually palestinians with lebanese passports. Your comment was completly disgusting but what else is expected from someone ashamed of his roots and prefers to call himself "canadian".

Canadian, the new york times once described the maronites in the exact terms. This was when maronites started their migration to america. Hitler used to say the same things of jewish europeans, russians and others. The british used to say the same thing about italians and millions of people say the same things about us lebanese. Only the worst scum of the earth would write such a comment or harber such despicible opinions. You will answer to God, remember that.

Dear Canadian Guest
So, you want the Palestinians kicked out because of their looks, body scent and facial hair? oh, and their education level is not a match to yours? well they ARE refugees, WHAT DO U expect?? Refugees in Ferraris and Lanvin shoes? Please raise your complaint to the international community (try ur luck with Angelina Jolie too) as I am sure Palestinians would LOVE to be able to leave Lebanon and go back to their country, Lebanese would love them to go home too with their dignity.
Let's see what you will be going on about after they leave, non-MBA holders? non- BMW drivers? or non-luxury brand dressers?
This 'YOU DESERVE TO DIE BECAUSE YOU HURT ME' Lebanese mentality should go away, otherwise Lebanon will continue being the disgraceful version of a COUNTRY it is now.

Israel getting Hashish and other drugs from Lebanon,good Arak Zahlawi, in return the Israelis sending candies. this called in the international language as Barter, what is so bad about it.
I'm calling the Lebanese children not to eat Israeli candies as might be poisoned, as Israeli looking for children's blood for their bread...
Time to grow up, this is the difference between both nations.
While in Israel I can east or drink or listen to music from any country, in Lebanon this new being showed in 1st page.
While I have CD's of Feiruz, Haifa Wahbi, Megida El Roumi (love their music) want to hear the 1st Lebanese listening to Israeli music.
You will never grow up and change no matter how you wrap it.

You are a racist ethnic cleansing state. Like in South Africa, Apartheid will end. The Palestinians WILL have the right of return like ALL persons on earth. Israel will be renamed Palestine like Rhodesia was renamed Zimbabwe, and in the future Israel will be remembered like Rhodesia is remembered today.

John, when Arabs were sleeping in caves with their sheep, or sitting on the trees eating bananas, Israel the Hebrew state was existing.
Israel is a racist country and Apartheid as well, how nice.
Well can only admire Lebanon for the freedom the Palestinians having in your country, freedom of living any place, having real estate, electing to the parliament , freedom of moving from place to place and most important civil rights.
It seems that the only country Palestinian can be elected to the racist parliament is Israel, or to get social benefits, national insurance, free health insurance and civil rights hundreds of times more than they get elsewhere. Ask local Arabs who is ready to live under Palestinian authority or Israeli to your surprise you will find that 78 pct will choose to live under the Israeli one.
So better stop your rubbish and face the facts.

This is a really funny comment exchange. Two things: The wrappers are for butter, not candy .... the whole apparatus (press, militants)is in an uproar and they don't even know what they are talking about. Second thing; The comments (made by all the regulars) typify the silly level of thought on this site. With geniuses like you, no wonder Lebanon can't get it's act together.
