Lebanese Military Called in After Grocery Store Shopper Finds…Israeli-Grown Peppers

Lebanese Military Called After Spinneys Grocery Store Shopper Finds Israeli Peppers

A Daily Star photographer captured this photo of the Israeli-grown peppers which caused the stir

The Lebanese military was summoned to a grocery store in Lebanon Tuesday after a shopper discovered Israeli-grown peppers being displayed. Lebanon’s Daily Star reports that the store, Spinney’s, was selling a bag with three kinds of peppers grown in Israel.

The shopper who asked to remain anonymous contacted local authorities who in turn summoned the Lebanese Army. The Daily Star reports:

Members of military intelligence and police arrived to Spinneys to discover 13 similar bags that have the word “Israel” printed on the sale tag.

Police also noticed that the international bar code for the items was scratched with a blue pen and a new code was handwritten on the bag.

Like other Arab countries, Lebanon boycotts Israeli products and services. The Daily Star reports the military is now investigating how the products passed through customs. The same chain reportedly was found ten years ago to have been selling mugs made in Israel.

On Wednesday, Spinneys apologized and emphasized it is committed to the Israel boycott. It released a statement saying: “Spinney’s, in all Arab countries that it operates in … adheres to implementing regulations regarding the boycott on the importing of Israeli products and it has never been accused of breaching [the ban].”

In its defense, it said that identifying the country of origin on the label was difficult, which allowed the product to slip through customs undetected.

“Regrettably, one of the three peppers inside a small number plastic bags had a label stating that it was a product of Israel and neither staff at Spinney’s, merchants in Holland or at Lebanon’s Customs spotted the label because it was inside the packaging and was difficult to spot,” Spinney’s said.

The Daily Star reported in a follow-up piece Wednesday that the peppers’ journey began in Spain, traveled via the Netherlands on Middle East Airlines and landed last week in Lebanon.

This is actually a new secret weapon by the Israelis…let me tell you about it: Those are not ordinary peppers but very hot type of peppers. They design to cause rectal dis-function to the enemy…especially when they enter from the back door…

They have every reason to ban these pepers. Everyone knows they are treated with a secret serum that produces sterility after just one bite. I believe several other imported vegatables have the same serum. What a painless way to reduce your eemy.

can we start proof-reading here a little bit, Blaze?

“Lebanon’s Daily Star reports that the store, Spinney’s, was selling a bag with three kinds of peppers grown in Israel.”
“Regrettably, one of the three peppers inside a small number plastic bags had a label stating that it was a product of Israel.”

which is it? the photo indicates only the yellow pepper was Jewish.

I read story a palestinian women pleads for help her grand mother shot near the border. She hated the Jews was taught since birth they were animals, pigs, demonic.. She was afraid of them she pleads with military guards in tower to call for ambulance. They drove her and grand mom to hospital in israel first thing she notice they weren’t animals but kind, from driver, nurses, down to the doctor. She cried in confusion she hated these people but they showed her nothing but compassion, and concern. A true story of women taught to hate.. But when the truth surfaced she felted ashamed that her people shower palestinians with propaganda to despise the Jews.
We should pray for both side…

They hate the Jews in a major way, teach their children to hate.. I read story about young palestinian women lived near border in palestine.. her grand mother was shot, the same jews that she was taught as a child were Animals, Pigs, Demonic.. Military guards called ambulance took her and grand mom to hospital in Israel she was shock by the kindness, from driver, nurses, doctors.. She learned that day the Jewish people were not animals as her people taught her but filled with compassion, respect. Her whole life she hated the Jews, and now she found out it was all propaganda from her own people to hate… Selling dreams of paradise to children if you murder a Jew comes from our adversary the Devil, we should pray for both sides.

  Silentme63, look around at the Muslim hate that’s been taught in America for decades. We chose to make them our enemies. They did not have that choice. Now, people forget about the responsibility of their choices. So, nuevo-American.

“Barukh atah Adoni Eloheinu melekh ha’olam, she’asa nisim la’avoteinu ba’yamim ha’heim ba’z'man ha’ze”

“Blessed are you King of the Universe who brings forth bread from the earth”.

The Bible clearly teaches the Jews will rule the earth forever, so Satan, in hatred, taunts them now with anti-Semitism.

“The sky is gray today, as I sit and hold my gun, You’re not alone, Your enemies will fall. He who watches Israel will see the battle won.”

  RJJinGadsden, Shrona Schwartz, is she any less of a zealot than those Muslims. All Israel, all day, everyday. Loyal to Israel as the walls crumble in America. Hope you’re getting this point?
  
  Now, go ahead, tell me that I focus way too much on Zionists, Jews, and Israel. Tell me how antisemitic I am. Don’t focus on balance.

Well it is obvious isn’t it? The people of Israel wish to take over their Arab neighbors through heart burn! I wonder what the Muslims will do to this store owner and Israel for allowing something as horrible as food through? I’m thinking life imprisonment, the death penalty, another complaint to the U.N. for Israel’s “war crimes,” and maybe justification (for them) to start another war with Israel.

  Wait? You,too, are skeptical of the Jews and Israel not being responsible for everything that goes wrong in the world? Maybe someday THEJERK will wake up and realize the Israel is not the bad guy, but I doubt it. And I am pretty sure that he might soon be “educating” us on how we are brainwashed Jew-lovers.
