If Israel made the best Eurovision production than any

other country over the years (including security), then Thursday's World Holocaust Forum will also be in safe and secure hands. I promise.

WHO PROVIDES GAZA WITH HELIUM ???

Could somebody explain from where Gaza gets huge quantity of Helium to inflate such an amount of balloons? Helium is used to cool the magnets of magnetic resonance imaging equipment. As far as I know, such equipment doesn't exist in the Gaza Strip. So who provides the Gaza Strip with Helium???
