How To Turn A Donkey Into A Zebra


Marah Land Zoo in Gaza has found a novel way to get around Israeli restrictions on the importation of animals by partly dyeing two donkeys so they resemble zebras. The owner of the zoo in Gaza City said he had used masking tape and black hair dye, applied with a paint-brush, to disguise the white females.

'The first time we used paint but it didn't look good,' owner Mr Bargouthi said. 'The children don't know, so they call them zebras and they are happy to see something new.'

You're over-simplifying the conflict in Gaza, Andy.

Kelsey, I'm not even referring to "the conflict". I'm talking about a group of people that have been taught to believe lies. Not only is that uncivilized, it is inhuman.
