Goldschmidt, 57, sells the bulbs, grown in the Ganei Tal settlement in the Gaza Strip's Gush Katif bloc, for a dollar. After export to the U.S., the plants go for almost $70. With Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's withdrawal from Gaza set for next month, Goldschmidt is taking as many of his 300,000 bulbs out of the ground as he can, in spite of his desire to stay in the place he's lived for 28 years. ?I absolutely...
