Israel reveals evidence of menagerie of hate

by Kieren McCarthy

The civilised world recoiled in disgust as a horrifying photo of a Palestinian kitten dressed as a suicide bomber was released by Israel yesterday.

It is said to have been found at a militant's home in the West Bank city of Hebron and appears to be genuine. And it is a bleak new symbol of despair in the turmoil of the Middle East. The cat wears a belt of explosives and two bandoliers of bullets.

The Israeli army, which released the picture, says it was found during a search. There were suspicions that it might be part of Israel's propaganda war. But suicide animals are the new heroes of the Palestinian struggle for their own homeland.

The kitten's owners would have trained and brainwashed the feline freak to wear the red bandana and explosives — originally containing nothing more dangerous than sweetcorn — and then at a given moment, lick its genitals to set off the device. The kitten could have no idea of the consequences of its actions until it was too late.

Israeli troops report an increasing incidence of suicide animals, with cats the greatest feared of them all thanks to their agility and ability to climb walls. Just last week, three soldiers were killed when a cow with a hidden landmine in its udder rolled underneath an armoured personnel carrier. And on 10 June, nine were injured, including a man, when a seagull dive-bombed into a hotel foyer.

"It's getting worse," Israeli army lieutenant Archie Sighcoe told us. "Now we have to shoot all animals as well as women and children." Meanwhile, moderate president Ariel Sharon has called on Yasser Arafat to either destroy or reveal the whereabouts of Hamas' zoos and menageries — or pay the price.

Put this with the "bonsai cat" and there isn't a safe place for felines on this planet! (Outside of the USA, that is, where we treat our pets better than we do our children).

I find the sending of kids to shoot at soliders and 16 yr olds to homicide bomb more shocking and distrubing than using cats, but if this picture shocks people, then that's good I guess

Where's PETA when you need em?

[mhking]

Meow, meow, meow, meo---BOOM!

I guess that brings new meaning to "Meow Mix." (cringe)

[Publius6961]

All right.. I give up.
Where's the "Onion" logo?

[Illbay]

There's a Lab that's allowed to run free in my neighborhood, that has the biggest trigger I've EVER seen.

[Tijeras_Slim]

The Soviets trained dogs to run under tanks in WWII, and put bomb packs on them with a trigger rod like an antenna. Nasty surprise for the Germans.

[GSWarrior]

I'm sorry. I need more evidence than a picture released by the Israeli Army. Which department of the Israeli army....the graphic design department?

[Texaggie79]

You mean that you don't buy the notion of a cat being trained to lick it's genitals to set of the bomb?

[TheDon]

Registered?

[heartwood]

not funny. not after the pictures of that toddler.

[TheDon]

I guess we know which side of the War on Terrorism PETA is on now!

[Owl_Eagle]

Leave it to those clever palis to find yet another weapon. Managing to pull this caper off just re-affirms the fact that the muslim is indeed the most highly evolved of people. I mean, I can’t even get my cats to stay off the counters…

Request permission to push the button.

[gubamyster]

How do they get the cat to memorize the Koran?

Does the suicide feline get 72 virgin pussy cats?

[PsyOp]

So... where are the Ninja Mice?

[Texaggie79]

You must have missed my comments on that. I think the toddler pick would have been funny, had it not been done by the palestinians but by some parody magazine or something. So, now we have bombing kitty. It is just as funny as the suicide bomber toddler.

Why? You ask. Because they are both impossible. You can no more train a one year old to go bomb Jews as you can a kitty. That's why it is funny.

[Psalm 73]

Kids shooting at soliders and 16 yr old homicide bombers are shocking and distrubing enough, but using cats is truly despicable - and a sad waste of beautifully psychotic felines.

[Still Using Air]

Heh, Nice job of Photoshopping the previous pic onto the cat. Seems most people aren't as aware as they'd like to think they are. hahahah..

[Texaggie79]

lol

[Texaggie79]

It was The Rockall Times site that did it. Check out the link....

[Michael.SF.]

Another fine example of misplaced anger and priorities.

Reminds of the two cases here in the bay area, a missing girl, kidnapped (later her remains were recovered)and the guy that threw the womans dog into the traffic lanes.

Reward to find the kidnapper was set at about 50K

Reward for the dog tosser was set at 125K

People were more outraged about a stupid dog then a poor girl.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I could see a cat doing this. Cats are evil.

[Marine Inspector]

LOL

[Savage Beast]

"it is a bleak new symbol of despair "

If so, it is self-imposed despair. The world is full of possibilities, hope, goodness, and joy. If these people know nothing but despair, it is because they want it that way. They get no sympathy from me.

[Texaggie79]

You are aware of mycathatesyou.com aren't you?

[Illbay]

IMO, this photo is about as genuine as that of the toddler.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Don't cha just hate when you have to explain something so simple..........lol

[skeeter]

"It's getting worse," Israeli army lieutenant Archie Sighcoe told us. "Now we have to shoot all animals as well as women and children."

The Onion it ain't.

[ksen]

Man, I need to clean my monitor. I thought the tag at the end of your post said "Gnus before butter".

Although suicide gnus would be in the spirit of this thread. ;^)

[GSWarrior]

Until I see a cat lick its genitals and blow up I remain skeptical.

[GSWarrior]

I hate you Texas Aggie......just kidding.....Good one!

[Illbay]

Remember the woman jogger who was killed by a Cougar in California several years ago? (It was a big story on Rush's TV show as I recall).

The cougar was hunted down and killed, and then it was discovered that she had left behind young kits.

Meanwhile the woman had left behind two children.

Someone set up a college fund for the kids, and at about the same time animal-lovers set up a fund to care for the two lion cubs. At one point--before Rush got hold of the story--the kids' college fund had a couple hundred in it, and the lion cubs' fund had collected over $50,000.

Rush's efforts paid off, but it took a nationwide broadcast to do anything.

[antivenom]

The kitten has "cuter" eyes....

[Nachum]

IMO, this photo is about as genuine as that of the toddler.

Or as genuine as Islamic peace.

[Tennessee_Bob]

So much for the old saying: "Big cats are dangerous, but a little pussy never hurt anyone."

[ksen]

I hear they may also be training cats to drive car-bombs.

[Illbay]

What's funny to me is not so much the people who don't think about it being a joke, but who look past that to rant about the "pallies." I mean, good grief folks, turn it down a notch or too. You'll burn your brains out!

[Optimist]

As satire it would be rather humorous if it weren't for this line ...

"It's getting worse," Israeli army lieutenant Archie Sighcoe told us. "Now we have to shoot all animals as well as women and children."

... that I personally find VERY offensive. It would appear that the writer has an anti-Israel agenda rather than an anti-suicide bomber agenda. To first appearances the ridicule seems to be against the suicide programming of innocents. Closer reading instead indicates that the ridicule is against Israels intelligence gathering and evidenciary exhibits, and its attacks aginst the harborers of terrorists.

Way to go, you anti-semites.

[eaglewatch]

Perhaps the way to get back is to start boobytrapping goats?

[Tennessee_Bob]

You'll burn your brains out!

You're stretching that assumption a little far....

[Illbay]

My G*d, it's TOONCES!!!!!

[Windsong]

"not funny. not after the pictures of that toddler"

I agree. Tis not funny one bit.
