The Gazan’s Guide To Argeeleh

By Fayyad

Since many Gazans are suffering the lack of Argeeleh/Shisha/Hooka under the siege imposed on them by Israel with Egyptian help, a few creative Gazan minds have pioneered a solution for a make-shift smoke machine, the latest in the series of innovation that included converting cars to run of falafel frying oil, making mud bricks for building, and transporting goats with cranes over the border wall. (see Hanitizer’s report)

Gaza Argeeleh 1

This is how you do it:

Start with your teapot. Tea, along with pasta, has been deemed by Israel as non-essential goods any way, and your stainless steel post would likely corrode before you see tea leaves again.

Who are you kidding, there is barely enough water to drink, so showers are on hold for the time being, let’s use this hose that will not be supplying water to your shower head any time soon.

Oh yes, the stove head. For obvious reasons, you won’t be using it any time soon. Oh, you wanna hear the kicker, all the gas being extracted off shore from you, is being sold to Egypt… not that Egypt needs it, but by some roundabout way, Israel does not want to buy it, so it buys gas from Egypt at below production cost, and Egypt is forced to buy Palestinuan gas because Israel would not let the gas be sold to a country that may act independently and sign contracts with the Palestinians outside its accord.

Anyway, get the stove head, pick a middle size one, you’ll have company, but  you won’t have enough tobacco for the big one.

Finally, this is the strainer from your bathtub, we’ve been through this already, right?

And voila, happy smoking… with a Tarboush Tip to Layth…

    Wow this is really sad. Last night I was listening to the radio where they were playing an interview with a family in Gaza and it was all really heartbreaking to hear what little they have and how they can't even afford to buy food. If that was the case for Israelis there would be a worldwide uproar but when it's Palestinians who are dying, it’s fine? Some logic.

    • god bless you people i hope you win against the media and propaganda against you i am just a normal person bombarded with negatives against you, it is absolutely obvious you are the legitimate residents of that land. its strange when you hear the american accents of the people who think they have the right to take your land . if only you could harness the silent support of people in the usa uk and the rest of the world, i think the problem lies with the media or whoever controls the media ?would the american public agree to the billions in aid to israel if they were asked.. an eye for an eye has also become something like100 eyes for an eye but remember those born in israel have done no wrong and have unfortunately been born in a land that does not belong to them. i am sure that palestinians would be happy for jews to live in their land and treat them equally but not as occupiers

    I asked my older brother who is an Argilah addict about this, as a Gazan he liked the idea and asked me to save the article on his favoritsite
