That's the point Eddie. Imagine someone taking not just your food but your ability to provide food for yourself and your children. 

This is their life, on a daily.

That they may have inadvertently hit some of the farm land?

Not exactly proof is it when as seen the Gaza farmers are that  incompetent as seen and causing ill health. More like they over farm the area causes problems

Well yes. If they're spraying herbicide and some of it is drifting onto crops, they need to find another way to remove the vegetation Didge.

But again did any drop on crops Rags?

That is the point of which nobody has proved, all we have a is claim made on some farm, where as seen the farmers are using poor practices already.

It should be easy enough for someone to collect some of it and have it analysed I guess - by someone with no axe to grind.

I thought they admitted spraying herbicide but not deliberately on crops.

The Israeli military said it has been spraying the crops with herbicide along the security fence within the Gaza strip perimeter “to prevent the concealment of IEDs [Improvised Explosive Devices], and to disrupt and prevent the use of the area for destructive purposes,” Turkey's Anadolu Agency reported, citing an IDF written statement.

Ignoring the evidence they screw it up themselves

Hence not only are you blind to gibberish with religion but also blatant facts


Aims: To assess knowledge, attitude, practice, and toxicity symptoms associated with pesticide use and exposure among 189 farm workers in the Gaza Strip.
Methods: A cross section of agricultural farm workers in the Gaza Strip were asked to fill in a questionnaire on knowledge, attitudes, practice towards pesticide use, and associated toxicity symptoms.
Results: Farm workers reported high levels of knowledge on the health impact of pesticides (97.9%). Moderate to high levels of knowledge were recorded on toxicity symptoms related to pesticides. Most farm workers were aware of the protective measures to be used during applying pesticides. However, no one took precautions unless they knew about the measures. Burning sensation in eyes/face was the commonest symptom (64.3%). The prevalence of self reported toxicity symptoms was dependent on mixing and use of high concentrations of pesticides. The highest percentage of self reported toxicity symptoms was found among the farm workers who returned to sprayed fields within one hour of applying pesticides.
Conclusions: Farm workers in the Gaza Strip used pesticides extensively. Despite their knowledge about the adverse health impact of the pesticides, the use of protective measures was poor. Most had self reported toxicity symptoms, particularly the younger workers. It would be useful to minimise the use of pesticides and encourage alternative measures. Prevention and intervention programmes regarding the use of protective measures and monitoring the health status of farm workers should be implemented.

But that's just saying that it has had an effect on the Farmers' health. Nowhere in that report does it say that the pesticide/herbicide they were using destroyed the crops. You should read all of it - not just the short extract you put up.

So you admit they are imbecilities then damaging their health and others?

No where in the report by sassy does it say Israel has either or would effect farms no where near the no-zone

You need to read the report to understand why they are using them.

And the Palestinian farmers are imbeciles are they? Well that tells me a lot about what you think of these people. You don't care because you are so wrapped in hate for them and Muslims in general.

But the good news for you is that you don't have to hide how you feel about them because it's all out in the open now.

And you don't even have to just post on here anymore because you can also post back on Flap where the lads there will give you a typical Broadway style ticker-tape welcome backj as a hero of the RW.

I did read the report Irn

Yes they are imbeciles for harming themselves and others, unless you think they should be congratulated for that
Now who is stereotyping them all as Muslims, when some are christian, so that charge will not cut it. I never said they did this because they were Muslim. Talk about proving again what a pathetic weasel rat you are inventing bull
They did it because they were imbecilities and endangered the lives of others, had nothing to do with Islam or being Palestinians
Again the left excuse stupidity with false chargers leveled at those who point out how stupid their actions are

Lol trying to get rid of me and now claiming I am a right wing hero, lol
Like I say only a sad weasel rat man invents things constantly to attack a poster with a false charge as you do and its easy for me to expose your stupidity, even with your lapdog in tow

I will take it as a compliment and proof you are shit sacred of my posts lol that you want to see me go, I mean it must be embarrassing for you to be shown up daily by me of late
