Israeli-made paper cups used in Saudi Hospital
2005-09-01
EFL. Hat tip: Volokh Conspiracy
Paper cups with Hebrew writing disturbed both employees and medical staff at King Khaled National Guard Hospital on Saturday. The catering subcontractor for the hospital coffee shops began using them on Saturday after their usual supply ran out. “We were shocked and angry,” said an employee. “How can Israeli products be allowed and how did they enter this hospital?” he asked.
That's for us to know and you to find out.
The Filipino employee who works in the Al-Musbah coffee shop asked: “Why is everybody mad about the cups?” He was told: “Because we're a bunch of bigots they are made in Israel!”
Ewwwwwww! Cooties!
According to hospital officials, the matter is being investigated and action will be taken. Saleh Al-Mazroi, executive director for operations at KKNGH, said the matter had been referred to authorities in Riyadh and was being dealt with.
Someone's gonna get stoned to death.
On the bottom of the paper cup was a website address and a telephone number. When Arab News looked at the website it was found to be in Hebrew though there were a few words of English: “Israeli disposable paper, plastic and foam dinnerware supplier for restaurants.”
I went to the website. It opens with a bunch of annoying animations and sounds worthy of having a Fatwa against it. After that, well it's Greek Hebrew to Me.
Arab News contacted Ibrahim Al-Musbah, manager and owner, who said, “I thank you for informing me. I will look into it personally and the offending employee articles will be disposed of.”

The paper cups were quickly withdrawn from use but might there not be other, less obvious, Israeli products in our shops and marketplaces?
Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

#9  There is literally no hope for them. When the money oil can bring ends they will be crushed and suffocated under the weight of their own idiocy.

action will be taken... Everybody involved in the acquisitoipn of the cups will lose a hand, and those hands will be mounted on a plank outside the hospital by a(n honored) member of the "religious police" domestic gestapo... It is written!

#7  Do these learned elders of Saud have any idea the amount of drug manufacturing done by Isreali firms, esp in the generic sector? Best to dump all their stores of pharmaceuticals and return to camel dung. Only way to be Judenfrei.
