Talkback
Title: No lox, no bagels, and no dignity Name: Morris Velntine City: Los Angeles, Calif State: USA
"Sunday, a 32-year-old [Palestinian] construction worker from Tul Karm, who is employed in Hadera, was not allowed to carry his lunch bag through the checkpoint. The bag contained ... 2 cans of cream cheese ..." Two cans of cream cheese??? No lox, no bagels? The poor Palestinians really *are* being deprived ... in addition to daily suffering insult to their human dignity. A klayneh shtikel of herring at least would have been nice ... and hold the checkpoint. MV
