    I recently heard that the center of a fig is actually a dead wasp. That seemed unlikely, but I googled it. Turns out, it's not true. But it's closer to being true than you might expect.

    I was a little worried about the crunchiness, but have been reassured it's indeed just seeds.

  • While I agree with that, it doesn't feel like your question to the other commenter carries quite the weight in this specific context as it might in others given that neither side has been clean about this, and it's not the Palestinian side that has intentionally blown up a playground within the past week.

    I do generally think it's hard to equate the two fairly in this context, given the power differential between the two forces and their relative capabilities to be discerning if they so chose.
