In Israel, some young left-wing activists have developed a homemade launcher built from recycled materials, designed to fire vegetables and eggs toward the Gaza Strip.
Call me a crazy dreamer, but if only every war could turn into a giant food fight like that. Of course, I know this won’t last. Sooner or later, they’ll fire one of the really bad vegetables - brussels sprouts or turnips, for instance - and there’s no way to ignore that, so the escalation will begin again. Here is some Rough Cut Video of the weapon in action:
