Israel mobilizes as millions of locust descend
Jerusalem Post ^ | 03/06/2013 10:55 | Sharon Udasin

Agriculture Ministry workers armed with pesticides went into action at first light Wednesday morning, distributing both aerial and ground sprays in the area where millions of locusts descended upon southern Israel from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula the day before.

The ministry said that it would also continue to monitor the situation in Egypt.

With Passover only a few weeks away, the eighth of the 10 plagues struck Israel on Tuesday after already overtaking much of Egypt. …

Fried locust in Hummus is pretty good. Beats Tortilla Chips.

Perhaps it is time to reissue Moses’ “Exodus Cookbook for Quick Getaways”.

House singles, known as Matzoh.
Hummus - ground chick peas with olive oil. Goes with the grass hoppers, i.e. locust.
Smaltz - Chicken fat, for cooking, hair cream and greasing wagon wheels
Camels - Two humps. Taste better than a One-Humper. More water in it. Makes them easier to cook.
Dates - If you’re not married, they make good companions.

{It was midnight at the oasis and the Arabs were eating their dates - oldie but goodie)

Fishing rods and bait -The Red Sea thing, you know.

Also, take a good map of the desert.

You know the old joke about the Exodus. If Moses had turned left instead of right, Israel would have all the oil.

Good morning.

Put on your tin foil...

There has been a "red tide" incident off Egypt. Fish kill, then what, flies? Then the frogs, and locust? Add in a few earthquakes, fire from the sky (i.e. volcano), Magog to the NE, and viola!

What do you have? Bookends to history. All you need now is the cornerstone laid for the third Temple.

Ok, you can take the tinfoil off now.

The locusts want their own state. Will the UN demand that we spray Ghaza, too? Will they be outraged if we do spray Ghaza without being asked? Even if we do it at Ghaza’s request, will our workers be attacked?

Instead, we have a land bridge between three continents that everyone is after.
