Egyptians claim Israeli goods cause disease, infertility

An Egyptian Health Ministry official said that chemicals smuggled from Israel are infecting his country's poultry with dangerous viruses, Ynet has learned Monday.

Osama Selim, the head of Egypt's veterinary authority, has called on the People's Assembly to press the local poultry growers' association to fight the use of illegally imported vaccinations and blood serum, which he claimed are exposing the poultry to disease and threaten public health. He added that he does not rule out the possibility of a biological war with the Jewish state.

Dr. Suhair Hassan, a preventive veterinary medicine official, told the assembly's Health Committee on Sunday that a study conducted at some 200 farms found that 75% percent of poultry were treated with Israeli products, which often cause them to contract viral diseases and the bird flu. In some cases the chemicals lowered egg production or caused the animals to die.

A member of the Sawarka Bedouin tribe, Muhammad al-Mani'i, who was interviewed on the show, also accused Israel of manufacturing "toxic" jeans that cause infertility. He claimed the Jewish state sells them to Arab countries reduce population growth.

It's enough that the IDF raped the livestock last year and attacked Muslims with remote controlled Zionist pigs just a few weeks ago. The sex gum they distributed to Gazan youth in order to corrupt them was without any question a war crime. I nearly slashed my wrists when they aimed penis shrinking rays at the Palestinian daycare center in Gaza City.

Now this.

Why are those Israelis so damned mean?

It's all part of the world domination plan! Bwahahahahahaha...ha...ha...

It's a pretty fascinating study - how different stereotypes and slurs get adjusted to fit modern current events. Ridiculous claims from centuries ago can still be made relevant today given a simple modern twist.

Love it

Sadly, the sex gum story was one such canard floating around.

9. (Sep 2009) Goldstone Endorses Palestinian Witness Who Claimed Israel Distributed Aphrodisiac Gum

Based on this Hamas spokesperson's testimony, Goldstone concluded the police officers killed on the first day of OCL in Gaza were civilians, not combatants.

Since then, it's been established that the vast majority of police officers were combatants.

2. It should be easy enough to get outside confirmation (or denial) - it's basic science

If it isn't easy, that's a different sort of problem, and much more incriminating than some dead animals, let alone verbal accusations.

You'd think people will have learned by now not to believe this bs since these claims have been going back since the beginning of the common era.

Crazy what people will believe about those they consider enemies

6. If true it would be a very serious matter. Just like the melting of Muslim mens penises with penis
Tue Feb 21, 2012, 01:36 AM

melting rays such as the penis-melting Zionist robot combs, which are a laser-controlled surgical robot that penetrates the skull [and passes] to the lower body and emasculates a man, was considered a serious matter.


I am quite attached to my penis and since I dont have a detachable penis its not like I can get a replacement, so I certainly would consider having my penis melted by a penis melting ray gun a very serious matter.

Would you not consider the melting of penises (especially yours) with various types of penis melting ray guns be a serious matter?

7. That's the issue, a "scientist" incapable of basic science is heading a scientific agency
Tue Feb 21, 2012, 08:47 AM
Feb 2012

Osama Selim has clearly demonstrated that he is unfit to lead a scientific agency. This is akin to putting a Right wing AGW in charge of global warming research -- but with the added bonus of racism and overt intolerance.
