I'm pretty sure that if you want to celebrate that one in Israel no-one will stop you. The mullahs in Iran, however, might take issue with it. I don't think they have released a Fatwa against it yet--but maybe that's only because nobody has asked.
Iran bans Valentine's Day
- Thread starter fuji
- Start date
So Israel doesn't ban Valentines day, they do:
Ban iPads
Enforce Jewish holidays on the west bank

But most importantly are still banning enough items, food, exports and imports from Gaza that another flotilla has landed in Egypt to deliver aid and the Rachel Corrie is being outfitted for its next mission. I'd say banning concrete to fix schools and hospital is way more grievous then banning Valentine's day, wouldn't you agree Fuji?
Citation needed - since when can't you have an iPad in Israel?? I sense there's a flubby topic change here and that you're probably talking about the occupied territoreis now and not Israel, hoping nobody noticed you trying to pull the wool over our eyes.
Apparently FD is 8 months behind the times;

It still doesn't take much research to blow FD out of the water in 2011.

The ban is over now, now that the threat has died down.
ha.
I'm still waiting for your answer, which is worse: Banning valentines day or banning concrete?
Of course it's over, but that wasn't your point. You were making it sound like it still existed using an old reference. Then when it was pointed out that you were wrong, you backpedaled and changed course. Do you really think the threat is over? I don't.
You're still trying to say that many these convoys are not being used to get contraband into the region under the guise of humanitarian relief and that the flotilla that was stopped and a battle ensued was purely humanitarian. If i remember, there were outdated medical supplies. They were useful weren't they?
I would say that until they learn how to make bunkers to hide missile launchers etc. out of chocolates and Valentines Day cards banning Valentines Day is much worse but of course in your world this could never be just about banning Valentine's Day. You truly are a pathetic clown.
Apparently they have concrete to build fancy shopping malls in Gaza.
Let's get a little perspective. The UN gave nearly $200 million in aid to Gaza in just the six months following Operation Cast Lead. It only gave $10 million in aid to Haiti following the devastating earthquake. Good old UN. (Not)

Nope. You can celebrate Christmas in Israel. The state doesn't make it an official holiday, but they don't BAN it. You can buy and sell Christmas related items, dress up like Santa, put a wreath on your door, go to Christmas mass, the whole deal--you just have to take your own vacation to do it, the way that Jews and Muslims in Canada have to take their own vacation to celebrate their religious holidays here.Both Countries ban Christmas

Iran has actually banned Valentine's day, going so far as to prevent stores from selling items related to Valentines.
Banned.
That's true. Given the absence of any sort of real humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and the existence of very real crises in other places, it does indeed seem that Gaza gets a grossly disproportionate share of world aid.
Moreover the Haitians didn't cause the earthquake or cause the cholera that is wiping them out, they're basically victims of natural disaster and plague. The folks in Gaza are more or less directly responsible for their own economic condition.
Since when did iPad day get declared a holiday?
(the actual story is they temporarily did over issues with wifi protocols).
As for the rest, a pathetic attempt to change the topic and a complete distortion of truth (but what else is new).
(for those who don't want to bother reading, Israel closed the border to travel over the holiday - no one was forcing Palestinians to celebrate or even acknowledge it - it is exact same as Canada closing all banks and government offices for Christmas and Easter).
Since flub wants to talk about freedom of religion in Israel, can he explain why Israel has given complete jurisdiction over Judaism's holiest site to a Muslim agency? I'm sure it's just part of the plot before the Mossad vultures take it over.
You call that snazzy? What shithole do you live in? You can obtain concrete in Gaza, but it must be for pre approved projects and purchased (at a huge premium) from Israeli approved suppliers. Not a big deal for a major project, but very difficult for people who just wanted to fix the hole the Israelis made in their house when they killed the children.....

Hamas should stop using civilians and children as human shields...
Here is hamas admitting it :

So banning Valentine's Day is relevant proof that Iran is an intolerant shit hole? You've been arguing with flub too long, your brain is starting to leak.
