They were probably trained by the same crack force that unleashed the Zionist squirrels. You Can't Make This Stuff Up Alert: "Palestinians: Israel uses rats against J'lem Arabs," by Khaled Abu Toameh for the Jerusalem Post, July 20 (thanks to Block Ness):
The Palestinian Authority's official news agency Wafa says Israel is using rats to drive Arab families out of their homes in the Old City of Jerusalem.In the past the news agency, which is controlled and funded by PA President Mahmoud Abbas's office, has accused Israel of using wild pigs to drive Palestinians out of their homes and fields in the West Bank. In the reports, Palestinians were quoted by the agency as saying that they had seen Israelis release herds of wild pigs, which later attacked them.
But this is the first time that Palestinians have spoken of rats being used against them.
"Rats have become an Israeli weapon to displace and expel Arab residents of the occupied Old City of Jerusalem," Wafa reported under the title, "Settlers flood the Old City of Jerusalem with rats." The report continued: "Over the past two months, dozens of settlers come to the alleyways and streets of the Old City carrying iron cages full of rats. They release the rats, which find shelter in open sewage systems."...

Last sentence in the original article:
Jerusalem Municipality spokesman Gidi Schmerling said that the report was "pure fiction," and had no connection to reality.
My dear, Sir, we know that and you know that. But I do have one question, though?
Are the arabs really fleeing?

I thought it was about apes and pig? Now rats too!?

Don't forget, Jerry, that the Prophet himself proved the Hebraic origin of (some) rats by offering them a choice between goat's milk (kosher), and camel's milk (nonkosher)--the rats prefered the goat's milk. So there, all you sneering Zionist progeny of rodents! /sarc

And, as these are kosher rats, they are of course intent on occupying Palestinian land!
Posted by: John C at July 20, 2008 7:24 PM
No doubt this ingenious plot only came to light after one of the rats was captured, and under torture, admitted to having been trained by the Israeli Mossad.
What next from the Wafa news agency, that islam is the "religion of peace," or that Bigfoot is alive and well in Area 51???

"...they had seen Israelis release herds of wild pigs, which later attacked them."
Maybe the Empress of Blandings is sending in some of her shock-swine.
The Palestinians could call in Asterix and Obelix, they're used to dealing with wild pigs.
The Israelis probably mistook the Palestinian neighborhood for a sty. An easy mistake.
The Palestinians probably have more AK-47's than they have people, and they can't defend themselves against a few pigs?

For enterprising prankster imagine the fun he could have with these delusional psychopaths.
Here's just a few ideas:
1) Get a bunch of white rats and using a star of david stencil, airbrush the Jewish symbol on them.
Then let them loose in a Muslim area and watch the magic happen.
Or use a few pigs.
Or if there is a symbol of Hezbollah available use that instead. Imagine Hezbollah rats and swine swarming into Hamas held areas.
2) Photoshop a picture of some Hamas thug meeting with a Orthodox Rabbi.
3) Put out a pamphlet in the name of some Muslim religious authority on how to have fun and make money with Jinn.
3)Start a rumor that leather couches use pig skin.

If these rats are bacon-fed, I believe it contravenes the Geneva convention. The issue of bagel-fed rats is less clear but I'm sure some Muslim outrage could bring this issue before the United Islamic Nations in NYC.
In any case, PETA should be complaining about the inhumane treatment of these rats being forced into a life of poverty.

Isn't there in the Hadith some statement by Mohammed that Jews are "mutated rats?" If so, then it would just be a hop, skip and a jump for Arabs to assert what they have. After all, who thinks of the Arabs and says, yes, that's a people who have their act together and who never delude themselves?

Nah, there aren't any cages of rats being dumped into Palestinian sewers. For one thing, in Palestine, it's difficult to tell which areas are sewers and which aren't. [joke]
Seriously, what really happened was that the Chief Rabbis cast a spell from the Kabala on the poor Palis, making them see rats. All they need is for the Saudis to send some of their muftis to exorcise them.

Zounds! The perfidy of the Zionists knows no ends. First pigs, then rats, and now donkeys.
And in the "Inquiring Minds Want to Know" Department: Moslem males are strangely attracted to goats and sheep; are they also drawn to donkeys? Or is there some halal/haram rule that applies as to which animals are o.k. for bestiality?

Off hand I can't think of a better place for them (rats) to go.

Why are they running away from their relatives? Where's that famous Arab hospitality? The Palestinians should know that rats are people too.

Of course, any rational person might assume that the presence of *open sewer systems* might just have something to do with attracting those rats. But then, we are dealing with the Palestinians . . .

I encountered this story early this morning when, as I usually do, I visited Jerusalem Post online.
A more perfect example of what Our Hugh refers to as Arab Muslim "Nonsense and Lies", and what Martha Gellhorn dubbed 'Mad Hattery', I can hardly imagine.
Avalanches of irrepressible laughter should be pouring down upon their (the Arab Muslims') heads.
The Arab/Muslims' delirious adulation of the murderers Samir Kuntar and Dalal Mughrabi as the Ideal Man and Ideal Woman, exposed them beyond all doubt as morally contemptible.
But stories like this also expose them as...RIDICULOUS.
I recommend that everyone here read through the talkbacks to this article at JPost: there are some gems. I spent ten minutes this morning nearly weeping with laughter (though some of the comments by people with Muslim names are only funny unintentionally, because they BELIEVE it!; and there is one Western antisemite, too, who is gobbling it up).
I particularly recommend comment no. 15, and no. 19 - no 19 wrote (facetiously): "Word has it that the Mossad has implanted chips in their [the rats'] brains and controls them from satilites using little tiny joy sticks".
To paraphrase the opening line of a famous cautionary tale - "Mohammed told such Dreadful Lies/ It made one Gasp and Stretch One's Eyes"...and his followers have been trying to outdo him in it, ever since.
The highly pathological attempt to suppress laughter in Arab/Muslim culture probably doesn't help, either: people who aren't allowed to laugh, who are taught to take themselves deadly seriously at all times, have no hope of developing a sense of proportion, nor of learning and changing (I understand psychologists and neurologists say that when we laugh our mind is opened to new possibilities and we learn better when we have just heard a good joke; joyful belly-laughter also, seemingly, reduces our perception of physical pain).
Go to this link from 2005

and scroll down through the comments field to learn about Islam's fear of laughter.

How can they complain about rats? Find an old picture of Yasser Arafat in profile or three quarters view and you'll see why I'm puzzled about their antiphathy to rodents. Also, didn't they feature a mouse character in one of their children's program wearing an explosive vest?

Is that why Muslim areas are called Islamic
sh**holes?
at July 21, 2008 1:25 AM
Those cruel Israelis.
How could they treat the poor rats in such an inhumane manner by releasing them into the filth of Muslim homes.
I suppose that the UK's prime minister Brown will have to upgrade his contribution to the PA by 50 0r 60 million Euros so that Abbas can buy a flute to pipe the rats away a la Pied Piper.

The Arab version of history is fake too, and usually strictly instrumental without regard to truth.
Jews have been the majority of the population in Jerusalem since 1853. Muslims have been a minority in Jerusalem for at least 200 years [since Jews and Christians formed a majority before the Jews became a majority alone]. Since the city in 1853 was the Old City, this means that Jews were the majority there in 1853. See link:
http://ziontruth.blogspot.com/2006/03/jewish-majority-in-jerusalem-in-1853.html
However, during Israel's War of Independence in 1947-49, Arab forces were able to drive the Jews out of the Old City and make it what the Nazis called judenrein. Jews were only able to come back and live in the Old City, close to the Temple Mount, in 1967.

This reminds me of Ayatollah Khamenei's denunciation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game as a Zionist plot to corrupt the minds of Iranian children.
Truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction.

I remember reading in the New Testament how Jesus sent the Legion of Satan packing into a herd of pigs, which then promptly ran over a cliff and killed themselves. And I also read, where a guy with a flute charmed all the rats in some European hamlet, and when the villagers refused to pay him, he played his flute and kiped their kiddies.
If only the Evil Zionist Entity could find a way to kipe the kiddies of Falafelstine as payment for all the nasty things done to their own children...but alas, that would require a fearsome powerful flute to reprogram all those hate-infested little minds, wouldn't it. Best to let the Legion of Satan indwell them long enough for them to just finally go over the cliff en masse, which they seem to be doing more and more, these days.

Well, there you have it. There is a way to prove whether or not the rodents are Jewish. Why don't these silly people immitate their fearless and long-dead leader, and get to the bottom of this? Why don't they give the rats a chance to prove their innocence?
I'm starting to think there's no justice in Islam...

Unfortunately it doesn't work, not yet.
It takes more than rats to make the Pals move...

NO No don't any of you remember that fabulous movie 'Borat' The night he spent in a Jewish B&B and fled because he thought his hosts had turned into Zionest rats? So I think the rats are really Zionest agents. The Pali's have reason to fear. They must have seen Borat too.

OK. Next time i see a rat in Israel, I'll thank the rat for it's war effort.

This sounds like a great story--like a book & movie titled, "A Rat in the IDF" Or, how about "A Mouse in the Mossad"? "A Shrew in Shin Bet"? No? Anybody? Aw c'mon, you guys!
