In Kita Daled, we listen to the news every Monday morning. Kobi Barkai tells us the headlines: Olmert and Abu Mazen are meeting, Syria wants to kill us all, Syria wants to make peace, Bush thinks he has all of the answers, the strike continues, the strike ends, and of course the weather.

People in the class ask: “Why?” I have compiled some links thanks which will shed some light on why your sandwhich is now twice the price (and don’t forget the fact that it has to be transported = oil):
this is not new, and was forseen

an anlysis of the issue with some great links to major news sources
finally, even government subsidizing isn’t paying enough anymore
