Jews From All Over the World are Sending Fast Food to Soldiers Serving in the Territories

Patriotic Jews can send Pizza and Burgers to regular and reserve duty soldiers serving in the territories via the Internet * They even promise to get them to guard outposts * Discounts for groups

A new form of patriotism: an internet site, run by American Jews, offers Jews [sic] worldwide to send fast foods via the Internet.

The site, israelVisit.com, says that orders are delivered to all the places that soldiers serve, including roadblocks, bases, patrols and even to guard posts.

Deliveries include such food items as Pizza, Burgers, Soda and Ice Cream.

The site points out that the service is for soldiers on active duty, including reserve duty fighters.

The idea for the site came from numerous requests that were sent to the site developers by Jews worldwide "who want to share their feelings with our Israeli soldiers at this difficult time in a tangible way".

All deliveries are coordinated with the security forces with their knowledge.

In addition to sending food, the site offers supporters to send a letter of gratitude or message to the soldiers. The site shows many of the messages that were sent to the soldiers. For example, "Thank you for guarding the State of Israel . . . You are always in our thoughts . . . Enjoy the Ice Cream . . . ", and more. The many letters are signed by people from all over the world: Argentina, France, Germany, etc . . . .

The site even offers supporters to send food to an entire platoon! Everything is in the name of solidarity with Israel.
