Send a hamburger, pizza, or ice cream to the brave IDF soldiers

Jews Worldwide Bombard* I.D.F. Soldiers with Pizza

An Internet Site Allows People From All Over the World to Send Pizza to Soldiers in the Field -- and the Interest is High

I.D.F. soldiers out in the field have been suprised in recent days, but the surprise introduces a new trend: without any prior warning a box of pizza suddenly arrives.

Behind the pizza boxes is an internet site that was set up by a group of reserve soldiers. The site, http://PizzaIDF.org, offers supporters of Israel throughout the whole world the opportunity to join the war effort in the territories and send hot pizza to soldiers. All they have to do is press the appropriate button on the site and add their credit card number.

Web surfers can choose one of 4 options: a family pizza pie and bottle of cola to an I.D.F. patrol for $16.95; pizza and drink for a section for $31.95; for a platoon for $89.95; or pizza weekly for a month for $61.95.

The site was set up about a month ago and presented to the general public via advertisements on different sites on the web.

"The results have far exceeded our expectations", said one of the initators of the site, Shimon Aharon (28) from Cochav HaShachar. Shimon himself is currently serving reserve duty in the Tapuach region of the Shomron, and pizzas have even reached him there. According to him, "Within the last month over 4,000 pizzas have been sent, and the orders are still coming in.

The pizzas are sent to the soldiers from pizzerias that are located in areas near to where the soldiers are serving.

The reactions are very positive. "At the end of a patrol, when your dying of starvation, there is nothing better in the whole world than a hot pizza. It's satisfying and it also warms the heart", said one of the soldiers as swallows down his pizza.

My wife and I live in Montana. We understand that Israel is fighting not just for Jews, but for the USA and all of humanity. We purchased a month of Pizzas for an Israeli patrol. You too can join us in purchasing pizzas, hamburgers, and ice cream for those brave soldiers standing up for the civilized world.

This is one way we can fight terrorism.

We ask you to join us in our fight against terrorism and purchase a pizza, hamburger, or ice cream for civilzation.

May God Bless You for supporting freedom. Gary (in Montana)

Global Crossing CEO Gary Winnick just wrote out a $40 million dollar check to the Winnick Institute in Jerusalem. Maybe he could spring for some free pizza. His bankrupt company was just sold for peanuts to HW in Communist China. Gary should be celebrating tonight.

Btw...a country which sends arms to Mugabe as Israel does is not fighting for "all humanity."

They are current, as far as I can tell. The 1st is the Army flag, the 2nd is the Naval Ensign, and the 3rd is the Air Force flag.

I have no idea who Winnick is, what Global Crossing was, and I have no idea what his institute is. Furthermore, I do not know if one word of what your saying is truthful.
And frankly if Gary Winnick isn't sending money to feed the Israeli troops, I could care less about whom he is.

Do you have any hard facts and proof that Israel sent Mugabe anything?

It is not a suprise. The delivery is setup by the security forces of Israel.

Israel got a check for $105 million from Mugabe this spring. The deal is for $1 billion. Israelis are on the ground in Zimbabwe training Mugabe thugs how to "control" crowds.

Gary Winnick and three of his friends from the Drexel days under Milliken busted Global Crossing for around $12 billion. A classic pump and dump. They took two billion from a company which never showed a profit. Winnick is pulling a Marc Rich and giving away tens of millions to get good PR. One of his deals is giving away free ten day trips to Israel to young adults (he pledged $5 million).

Israel should defend itself and I have no love for the Palestinians. But I do not agree with your comment that Israel is fighting a battle for America and all of humanity.

That is simply not the case.

Has there been clashes between the government and pro-freedom forces in Zim.? I'm not up to speed on the Zim. problems so you'll have to excuse me. The way I understand it, the government is doing what the majority of their citizens want them to do there, so I can't imagine there being massive pro-freedom demonstrations there. Maybe there is, I don't know.

UNTRUE and quite inaccurate. He pledged 40 million

"By far the foundation's largest single donation is the $40 million pledged to the Simon Wiesenthal Center for construction of the Winnick Institute in Jerusalem. The institute will represent a philosophy and function similar to that of the Wiesenthal Center's Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles.

Winnick has met his initial obligations on this pledge, and the outstanding payments are linked to the institute's construction schedule, said Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean and founder of the Wiesenthal Center."

REALITY is the rest of the 1 billion dollar deal will never be consummated. Zimbabwe is bankrupt and falling fast.

http://allafrica.com/stories/200205130127.html

The deal to buy the anti-riot equipment was mooted last year when police sought authority from treasury to make a $105 million down payment to Israel's Beit Alfa Trailer Company (BAT) for the purchase of the arms to the tune of $1 billion. BAT is one of the world's leading manufacturers of riot control vehicles.

However, the deal almost collapsed when the police experienced difficulty securing foreign currency to pay for the equipment. Frantic efforts by the police, including a trip to Israel by police deputy commissioner, Godwin Matanga, just before the presidential election, resulted in the deal being resuscitated.

Thanks for the links.
I know Israel used to support aparthied South Africa (with atomic bomb secrets, no less)...but now I guess they are available to the highest bidder. Shame on them!

Great idea.

Send our troops enough pizzas and colas to bury the "enemy." Those they don't toss as weapons they can, of course, devour the snacks and outweigh our "enemy."

Perhpas a better idea would be to send these sugar and fat-laden snacks to the muslim rats we should be fighting.
