See, they buy the fruit all the time. How can you buy the fruit and still hate on Israel?

commerce will conquer all ideological divides.

I'm sorry but something written in the Jerusalem Post discussing how terrible another country is to Israel needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

Its not a state run paper, and the editorials are not all one directions.

Jerusalem is very much full of christians, Muslims, and Jews.

Besides, Its fruit, not some hard line story. Lighten up!

Iranians are generally liberal but the power belongs to the fundamentalists! Thats the worst case scenario for any country.

Hah! Did you read the story? Its about fruit! And nowhere does it say about people hating Israel. The closest you could possibly infer is that the Iranian govt denied they bought fruit from Israel. Otherwise, it just a wonderfully lighthearted story which might just make people in the region laugh. God I wish there were more incidents like this around. Oh and also, Nalod is right. Maariv and the JPost regulary villify their govt for things they dont like. Its not some propeganda rag, its a real paper.
