Title: Numer of olives should be increased to 11 Name: Palestinian City: Jerusalem State: Occupied Palestine
... one or two slices of cheese, a few spoonfuls of sugar, and 5 to 10 olives. Abu Mazin & Fayaad need to negotiate so Israel can increase the number of olives that a Palestinian can eat. I think if they succeed to increase the number 7 to 12, it would be an achievment. If they don`t succeed, they can ask president Obama to mediate. Eventually, and after increasing the amount of financial aid to Israel, Obama might convince Israel to allow 6 to 11 olives per Palestinian. That would be an achievment worth celebrating for the Palestinian Authority.
