what are trying to say with that? ???

Not trying to say anything. Satmar/Belz politics aren't a secret AFAIK, though in this generation they happen to be brothers-in-law.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Sounds political from what y'all are saying. While not a proof, the frum stores in RBS carry it. I don't have any real specific knowledge about them.

Whiles we're on topic, what's the word on the street regarding בד"ץ שארית ישראל?

The hechsherim situation in Israel is very corrupted, it started with some idiots in the eidah chareidis that used to be the hechsheirem monopoly in Israel (specifically in Jerusalem) so when someone tried opening an hechsher they made sure (thru terror) that no one is gonna eat from them!!! this is what happened to belz and then again to rubin , machpud is a different situation because of sfardic halacha is different then ashkenazi in certain things
I’m in shape, round is a shape…

Hence the perpetual bewilderment. My sense here is Israelis don't either really know anything. It comes down to do you trust(like) the group giving the hechsher. Very sad.

From the way you are posting you clearly have no clue about the day to day operations of the various hechsharim. It would do you good to speak to someone impartial who can give you a rundown of the actual problems that crop up with certain hechsharim.

Reading the comments on DDMS reminded me that I once actually bought some falafel mix from one of the stores in BB to bring home for DW.

I believe you mean shoko in your clothing.
I'm not who you think I am.

2. They make special C"Y runs of the flavors and you need to know where to find them.

I challenge anyone to find a thread  that mentions food, that does not evolve into a "hechsherim are all about politics" discussion
