This has been done to death already and I saw it coming, but the wife is upset so I have to write about it.
We were in a Home Center today and the wife picked out something she liked and went to find out how much it would cost to ship to our town.
As I already knew the pending response I wasn’t surprised by the “we don’t ship to the territories!”
The wife though, she wasn’t ready for that answer.
“You’ll ship stuff over an hour away to the middle of nowhere, but 3 minutes down the road from you is off limits!” she started off (loudly).
(She was referring to the secular settlement of Har Gilo (not where we live) which is 3 minutes from the Home Center in Malcha Mall (not where we were at), but alas it is over the imaginary Green Line so they won’t ship there).
Anyway, needless to say, we no longer buy at Home Center. I really hope Ace has what she wants, but more importantly that they deliver.
But isn’t it incredible how self-immolating Israelis can be at times, isn’t it?
