Hamas: Israel’s dropping aphrodisiac gum on us

Time was you could at least count on Arab paranoia about Israel to be logical-ish, with the standard theory about secret Israeli bioweapons forever involving some plot to sterilize the Muslim world. Fast-forward to 2009 and we’ve got Hamas basically accusing them of trying to … boost the Palestinian birth rate.

You know times are tough in Gaza when they’re even starting to phone in their anti-semitic propaganda.

“We have discovered two types of stimulants that were introduced into the Gaza Strip from Israeli border crossings,” Hamas police spokesman Islam Shahwan told AFP.

“The first type is presented in the form of chewing gum and the second in the form of drops,” he said…

One suspect said he had received the products from an Israeli intelligence officer at a cut-rate price “with the officer saying they did not want money, but to distribute the products among the young people of Gaza,” Shahwan said.

“The intelligence services are aiming to corrupt the young generation by distributing these products among students.”

Hopefully the endless diet of Islamist death cult-ism that the kids there are fed will keep them on the straight and narrow. Exit question one: If Israel really does have chewing gum that makes you horny, wouldn’t the smarter move be to market it and then use the massive profits to just buy the West Bank? Exit question two: Why mess around with something as innocuous as viagra gum? If the goal is building a bioweapon that’ll “corrupt” Arab youth, go for the gold.
