>JERUSALEM - As an act of charity Israel sent three tons of
>unleavened bread to starving Ethiopians after rabbis ruled
>against sending regular bread, due to the observance of
>Passover. What sounded like a good idea only created more
>digestive problems for the Ethiopians, because "matza" is
>notoriously dry, and causes severe constipation. On a more
>positive note, they also sent other food, blankets, and
>medicine.
