Israel's 'Supernatural Rats'

Israel's 'Supernatural Rats'  
By Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook
Palestinian Media Watch | Friday, July 25, 2008

The Palestinian Authority has come up with yet another wild accusation about Israel. Two PA newspapers - one directly controlled by the office of PA President Mahmoud Abbas - are accusing Israel of releasing rats with  supernatural qualities to chase away the Arab residents of Jerusalem.
 
 According to the PA papers, the Israeli-Jerusalem rat is:
1. Immune to rat poison;
2. Aggressive and larger than usual;
3. Unafraid of cats and able to scare them away;
4. Highly fertile -- female rat gives birth to 140 babies a year, four times the normal average;
5. Highly selective -- Jewish residents of Jerusalem apparently are not affected by these rats. 
Israel's goal, the libelous PA articles accuse, is "to turn the residents' life into a living hell, forcing them to leave." Interestingly, the articles do not mention how the rats are trained to differentiate between Jewish and Arab residents of Jerusalem.
 
The following are the two stories:
"...one of the most amazing things that we've read during this month is that [Israeli] settlers have been bringing chests filled with rats and releasing them in the Old City's [Arab] neighborhoods; they breed and have become a major curse... the [Arab] residents' efforts to counter this infestation have failed, especially since cats run away from these rats because of their size and ferocity... All of the conventional efforts to kill them have not succeeded, because they seem to be immune to poison and they breed in the sewers. It is known that this female rat gives birth seven times a year, each time giving birth to 20 babies; which compels Jerusalem's [Arabs] today to face the dangers of settlement and the infestation of rats..." [Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, controlled by the office of Mahmoud Abbas, July 18, 2008]
    
"Large numbers of [Israeli] settlers have been bringing huge cages full of rats and releasing them onto the streets and alleys of the Old City [Jerusalem]...in order to turn the [Arab] residents' life into a living hell, forcing then to leave..." [Al-Ayyam, July 17, 2008]
 
Creating libels against Israel is a pivotal aspect of the Palestinian Authority's incitement to hatred against Israel and Jews. PMW reported earlier this month that the PA media were accusing Israel of conducting Nazi-like experiments on Palestinan prisoners (LINK).

Gee, maybe the Palis wouldn’t have problems with rats, supernatural or otherwise, if they used indoor plumbing and had regular trash service?

THIS is what happens when a people marry their own cousins for generations.

Gee, even the rats don't like the so called Palastinenians.

If you believe in evolution then the rats are evolving to take over their land.

Chalk up another catastrophe caused by global warming (Bush’s fault).

Wait a minute. Yesterday’s news told us global warming caused more kittens. As former assistant head rat, maybe Al Gore could sell rat offsets.

Now this is just funny.

And I have to ask. If Isreal has the ability to make rats supernatural, why can’t they make people supernatural?

Call MonsterQuest. This sounds a whole lot better than the Super Rats they reported in in New York.

Quick - someone tell the palis that the only way to protect themselves from these supernatural Jewish rats is to put on yarmulkas and recite passages from the Torah!

I suggest the Jews and Christians launch a joint attack — we’ll supply some supernatural pigs to go along with the rats.

The Israeli Arabs hate Israel. They kill Jews when they can. When their numbers grow large enough, there will be a full insurgency. Everyone knows it & pretends not to know it.

...and in fact, are completely unable to see them. For that matter, none of the "Palestinians" have seen them, except on Arab TV... Thanks C from E. :')

The Palestinian writers aren't even smart enough to figure out that if the Jews are that smart, why would they waste their time on just rats. Why not give that kind of ability to cats and dogs? Heck, why not humans?

But, the bigger wonder is....

If they believe the Jews are that smart, then they should be worshiping the Jews as Gods if they think that they have that kind of power. Muhammad would bow to the Jews if he was alive today and believed the Jews to be so powerful and smart.
