I've Been Thinking:
4,000 dolls were confiscated in the Haifa port.
The dolls were packed and labeled as clothing, carpets and plastic.
Male dolls wore a scarf emblazoned with a picture of the Al Aqsa Shrine. Writing on the scarf read "Jerusalem - We are Coming," and "We are Jerusalem."
The heads of the dolls were wrapped in black and white kafiyahs, only the eyes were visible.
Each doll's hand clenched a rock and the arm was raised and cocked as if ready to throw the rock.
Inspectors stopped the dolls at the port because there was absolutely no doubt but that the toys were a tool for incitement and hatred.
Authorities termed the dolls "inciting dolls."
Thousands of containers enter Haifa every day and there is no way of checking them all. The inspectors profile each container. This container came from UAE and seemed suspicious so it was x-rayed and the dolls were discovered.
This is really a treasure trove of a toy chest.
