By Micah Halpern
Wednesday March 14, 2007 I've Been Thinking: In the Middle East the middle man plays a very crucial role. What are they buying and selling? Apples. Syria is buying apples from Druze who live in the Golan Heights. Actually, most Druze have relatives living in Syria and they have never cut off relations. The Golan and Syria share a border, along that border is a hill that has become a "calling center" - when you want someone on the other side, you call over to them. Now the apple buyers and sellers are meeting at the border and conducting their business. The question is, how do the Syrians pay for the produce? It sounds comical, even simplistic, but this is a critical first step in the thawing of relations between enemies. 4 June 2017 12:14 PM in Thoughts
