Vendors of tomatoes and cucumbers

So the spokesperson of the Muqdad family in Lebanon, who incidentally was an employee of the US embassy in Lebanon for years, appeared before the press today and mocked "the vendors of tomatoes and cucumbers" in Lebanon in reference to the poor Syrian workers in Lebanon.  Well, Mr. Spokesperson: these are honest people who earn their living from hard work and don't engage in the kidnapping of innocent poor Syrians in Lebanon.  My shoe was eager to fly in the air as I watched this man utter his ugly words.
