Our Friends and Allies the Saudis Update: "Saudis warn: Israeli products cancerous," by Rachelle Kliger for the Media Line News Agency, August 21 (thanks to Writer Mom):
Saudi trade officials are warning against what they claim to be cancerous products made in Israel and other countries that are allegedly being smuggled into the kingdom.The Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry said smugglers are bringing in the products through Djibouti, Yemen and Somalia. The chamber was urging importers and traders to be watchful regarding this merchandise.
The products, said to be manufactured in Israel, China and Taiwan, include pesticides, agricultural fertilizers, children's toys, canned foods, perfumes, cigarettes, juices and candy.
Israel and Saudi Arabia have no diplomatic relations.
Last month the Saudi Interior Ministry said it had information that smugglers on the coastal areas of the Arabian Peninsula were bringing in illegal and fake products.
Saudi authorities were asking importers to take the necessary steps to stop Israeli products from entering the kingdom.
An unnamed official from the Israeli trade industry told The Media Line that the rumors of carcinogenic products being smuggled from Israel into Saudi Arabia were "improbable."
"Every so often we see reports of this kind in the Saudi media. I believe it's part of the Saudi demonization of relations with Israel," the source said....
Uh, yeah.

Poor Saudis, getting all that cancer from those evil Jews. But it's perfectly fine for them to export THEIR cancer all over the world, better known as Wahabbism.

So what?
The Saudis export a cancerous religion that has killed millions more than the products they prohibit.
It's called karma.

Lots of people in America (and many of their doggies, too) got sick a while back because of tainted products from China.
The above article says that the carcinogenic products in question were made in "Israel, CHINA and TAIWAN."
Hmm. China. Already a culprit proven to have made both Americans and their pets sick.
And Taiwan, owned and operated by ... China.
Naaaaaaah, that explanation is way too easy. Those Saudis must be right -- it HAD to be the Jews!

So, how's that interfaith dialogue going Rabbis? You know who you are. The ones who said that critics of interfaith dialogue are just a bunch of militaristic, intolerant, right-wing Zionist Jews.
You Rabbis who would rather debase yourself in order to lick up a few crumbs from the Saudis than you would spend time listening to the wisdom of rank-and-file Jews who know that the Saudis are using you to project a moderate face to the West and not at all sincere about improving relations with the Jewish community. Better yet, they know you'd be their mouthpieces to the West, so excited you've been to be slightly indulged by Saudi bigots opposed to every value you claim to hold dear.
What better way to advance Saudi goals than to have a bunch of liberal-left wing Rabbis explaining how Saudi Arabia's King is a moderate, a modernizer. Tell me again how change comes slowly (especially when the Saudis never take concrete actions, even small ones, to give any evidence of sincerity), they can't control every extremist (why not, in an absolute monarchy in which the "extremists" are on the government payroll), they are writing new textbooks without the hateful teachings (we heard the Saudis were doing that after they were shocked, following Sept. 11,2001, to find out what was in "some" of their schools) yada, yada, yada.
Ezra Lavant has written about what he calls "professional Jews" in Canada who have placed interfaith dialogue with Muslims over standing up for Western values like freedom of speech.
If Jews continue to allow the unelected Jewish professionals, Rabbis and media continue to speak for us, they are going to get us all killed. It is time that those of us who are anti-jihad, pro-Israel and patriotic Americans form Jewish organizations that reflect our values, not the values of a few elites who sit on the boards due to the amounts of their donations, while concerning themselves more with using their positions to show their left-wing friends how tolerant, peace-loving and open minded they are than with caring about the survival of Israel and protecting Infidels from jihad.
Rabbi what did you do for your community today? Attend an interfaith dialogue with jihad-supporting anti-Semite Imams; write to a Jewish newspaper about something in the Torah or Talmud that makes Jews critical of Obama guilty of a terrible sin; or take a few minutes to explain to a Brigitte Gabriel, Walid Shoebat or John Hagee how their support is unwelcome because it clashes with that of the Jewish community, since such-and-such unelected organization is on record as supporting a two-state solution. Perhaps you will testify to immigration that an Iman who was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood is a "moderate" Muslim because he shared a plate of hummus with you a couple times and spoke about valuing all religions--you would never even dare hold the thought, even for a moment, that he was doing that just for plausible deniability in case his past (or current views and activities when you aren't around) was ever exposed.
Yes I'm mad and I can't take it anymore. Anyone with common sense knows the Saudis will never change their attitudes toward Jews, Americans and Israel. But I guess that makes me a militaristic, right-wing Zionist? I sometimes forget that Israel is surrounded by pacifists who if we simply opened up to them and explained our narrative (and gave them a chance to hear from us all the good things we do that aren't reported in their media) while appreciating their narrative (and feeling their pain and humiliation), we could then turn over the "West Bank" to the Palestinians and all the peoples and countries of the Middle East could live forever in peace and harmony. It's true, the unelected Jewish leadership has no need to learn uncomfortable truths about Jihad, dhimmitude, the example of Muhammad or the treaty of Al-Hudabiyya. They've got better ideas about ensure my survival. My frustration is boiling over!

Re: my post above-
What am I thinking? No Rabbi of any synagogue I've ever been in would possibly have time to read this. He would be busy writing tomorrow nights sermon. So many important topics: we've got to close Gitmo, condemn the anti-immigrant movement that promotes, support moderate Muslims like Imam so-and-so, pass Universal Health Care, pray for the success of Olmert peace-processing with Syria, act before the dinosaurs become extint, encourage the UN to act in this-or-that crisis, speak out against the slanders circulating on the internet and in emails against Barack Obama and, most importantly--said without a hint of irony given the previous words, work to stop the erosion of the separation of church and state.
One thing I found interesting in reading some articles by Rabbis and other professional Jews online following the public airing of Jeremiah Wright's shocking rants: how it would be hypocritical to hold this against Obama since all these writers had the experience in which a Rabbi spoke about the "Palestinians" the same way Wright talked about "white America." And not everyone left the synagogue because of it.
I don't believe it for a minute, other than the willingness of Rabbis to sell out their own community to cover for Barack Obama. In fact here is a challenge. Please tell me where I can find a reform or conservative Rabbi who speaks with a Jeremiah Wright level of intensity in support of Israel or in condemnation of Palestinians or any other jihadists. I want to hear it for myself. I might actually start attending services again.

Some one tell the Saudis that the list of cancerous items is longer.
The list includes:
sex with animals, handling U.S. Dollars, bedding children, breathing dust from sand, oil, Rolls Royces, Bentleys, private jets, desalinized water, voting at the U.N., talking with reporters, fashionable vests with ball bearings and a tripper mechanism, Wahhabism, the Cube at Mecca.
The only thing that does not give Saudis cancer but we would love to import into the country are 500 lb. laser guided bombs.

"An unnamed official from the Israeli trade industry told The Media Line that the rumors of carcinogenic products being smuggled from Israel into Saudi Arabia were 'improbable.'"
-- from the article above
This unnamed Israeli official is slyly indicating that he's an Obama supporter. That use of the word "improbable" is a dead giveaway.
Here's a piece I wrote that explains why:
How Probable Was Barack Obama's "Improbable"?
For some time I have been noting bits and pieces of Barack Obama’s idiolect – those words and phrases he especially favors. I noticed, for example, how much he loves the word “improbable” and how often he uses it with feigned wonderment at his own amazing, to him and therefore to his audience, history -- if the history of a man is to be reduced to some banal business about his ethnic and racial background, subjects for Obama of apparently great and abiding interest, rather than being centered on the much more interesting history of the development and cultivation of that man's unique intellect and take on the universe.
The first notable public use was in his speech to the Democratic National Convention in 2004, which had not yet become the staple we have all become so used to, and some of us to love – Obama’s Personal History, A History That Like Its Humble Hero Doth Bestride The World Like A Colossus And Holds Out The Audacity Of Hope For All Of Us – contained the following:
“My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name.”
This past year, in desultory fashion, I put up two comments at Jihad Watch that show his favoring --or as some ill-educated professors of literature might put it, his “privileging” -- that adjective:
#1.
”He [Barack Obama], or his speechwriter, like to lift phrases from American history. And some of them, but not all, can be tracked down. The one he keeps re-using, and that he used early on in today's speech -- that "improbable experiment" -- has a ring to it. I suspect that the well-turned phrase comes either from some figure in American history, or was said by a professor conducting a class at law school or even by an emeritus professor giving a talk. When did Paul Freund, who was good at quoting Mr. Justice Holmes, die? Or might it have been a subtitle used by Bernard Bailyn, or Michael Kammen? One never knows.”
[Posted by: Hugh at March 18, 2008 10:48 PM]
#2.
“Yes, Obama can point out -- unless McCain beats him to the punch -- that the Money Weapon is so much more effective, at this point, than terrorism in promoting the goal of removing all obstacles to the spread, and then the dominance, of Islam. And he can grandly reach out, he with his "improbable" life story and his race-and-nation-bestriding impulse, to create that Grand Alliance that will "harness the energies" of "both left and right." But Obama can't do it if he doesn't recognize Arab and Muslim oil revenues as a Money Weapon, and is unable to connect that instrument of Jihad, the Money Weapon, to support for other instruments of Jihad, including Da'wa, and demographic conquest and, yes, that terrorism to which such dangerously exclusive, even monomaniacal, attention has been given by the benighted Bush Administration.
[an excerpt from “Why Obama Makes People Nervous,” Jihad Watch July 15, 2008]
So when I read a story about Obama’s speech-act of July 24, 2008 in Berlin, I can’t say that I was “pleasantly surprised” – because I wasn’t surprised at all – but was certainly amused to discover that the phrase from Obama’s speech that was chosen by The Times as the title for the story came from this perorating excerpt:
“People of Berlin, and people of the world, the scale of our challenge is great. The road ahead will be long. But I come before you to say that we are heirs to a struggle for freedom. We are a people of improbable hope. With an eye toward the future, with resolve in our hearts, let us remember this history, and answer our destiny, and remake the world once again.”
The Times titled its story about the speech “We Are A People Of Improbable Hope.”
No, not so “improbable.” In fact, that was surely, for those who are verbally vigilant, the least improbable, and the most probable, “improbable,” in the history of speechifying.

We are the audacity of improbable hope that we have waited for.

Many will not agree that Jewish products, or Jews, somehow are carcinogenic. In fact, they associate Jewish researchers and doctors with treatment for, and possibly cures for, many kinds of cancer. Senator Kennedy apparently disagrees. But so too do hundreds of thousands, or possibly even millions, of other cancer patients, less famous, all over the Western world.
But the Saudis should be encouraged to believe their own remarks, indeed forced to act as if they believed them.. And they shouldn't be allowed to limit their worries to cancer. They should be told that for their own good no Jewish doctors will be allowed to treat them – not at the Mass. General, not at Sloan-Kettering, not at Children's Hospital, not at any hospital or group practice in the Western world. And that includes all specialties – oncology, radiology, pathology, cardiology, every board-certified thing you can think of. And no medicines that were invented or developed in part or in whole by Jewish researchers and doctors will ever be prescribed for Saudi patients.
And those Saudi princesses, the ones whose lives have driven them half-mad, the ones who have been known to show up for many months of curative stay at American psychiatric hospitals, such as Mclean's in fair Belmont (where we may lay our scene), Massachusetts, will from now on be carefully assigned non-Jewish psychiatrists. Funny, isn’t it, that the name of the celebrated psychiatric institution on Mills Street, which has been known to have Saudi patients, nicely echoes that of another Mclean, that is Mclean, Virginia, also connected to Saudis. For it is in that posh suburb -- not quite the horse-farm country of Upperville and assorted Mellons, but not cheap -- is a place where rich Saudis (the kind for whom Washington is a fun-fair-cum-brothel, and who send their children to that Saudi Academy of ill repute), often have their suburban Virginian xanadus, to which they invite, in the well-practiced Prince-Bandar manner, those Washington movers and Washington shakers who, the Saudis know, will not be able to resist, if the price is right, joining the ranks of the swelling army of Western hirelings working for the Saudi dollar.

Hi, I'm Tonya Greipenweiner, and like DUH and all THAT entails. Everyone who's as educated as I am in the field of Middle-Eastern Histrionics and Arab Hubris Studies, KNOWS, absofvckinglutely KNOWS that Jews cause CANCER. It's all part of the Zionist Conspiracy.
Jews, who deem themselves the CHOSEN ppl are always coming up with cures and shit, and so no wonder! Who cured Polio, a Jew, probably. They are always doing things like coming up with cures for diseases that no one really cares about anyway, and taking all the credit, even though they probably, no, they DID cause the disease in the first place. Obama knows. And when he is elected, he will do something about it. MARK. my words, ppl.
at August 21, 2008 11:06 PM
Meanwhile, the latest “Palestinian” complaint is about Israel not allowing out every single “Palestinian” who wants – for god’s sake, practically demands – first-class treatment in….Israeli hospitals. That is, the hospitalsof the very people against whom are lobbed thousands of rockets, and who would, if the Gazan Arabs have their way, be destroyed, and unavailable to treat those same Arabs. No sense of irony, those Gazan Arabs.
Here’s the latest sob story designed to tug at your NGO or EU or UN hearstrings:
“ Ahmed Hisham Abu Shawish is fourty six, but he looks older. His skin is tinged with grey and he sits slumped forward in his chair. He used to work full time at the Islamic University doing logistical support, but these days is confined to his home in the Al Daraj district of northern Gaza city. He has an aggressive carcinogenic tumour, and suffers from serious hematuria, or blood in his urine. He has to attend hospital every two or three days in order to receive regular blood transfusions. 'I go to the European Hospital in Khan Yunis for my treatment' he says. This involves a painful journey by shared public taxi several times a week, as the hospital is 30 kilometres away, and the family cannot afford to pay for a private taxi to and from their home.
Ahmed Abu Shawish urgently needs an operation to remove his cancer and repair the internal damage. 'The [Palestinian] Ministry of Health referred me to Echelof Hospital in Tel Aviv for specialist treatment' he says. "But of course I need a permit to leave Gaza, and my permit was denied. So I applied again with the help of human rights organizations.' The Israeli NGO Physicians for Human Rights and the Gaza city based Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) worked together to try to secure a permit for Ahmed Abu Shawish to be able to travel to Echelof hospital. But on 18 August he was denied a permit once again. PCHR has just submitted a formal complaint to the Israeli State Attorney, outlining the urgency of Ahmed Abu Shawish's case, and asking he be immediately issued a permit by Israel in order to travel to Echelof hospital for his treatment. In the meantime, Ahmed Abu Shawish is confined to his home, where he lives, and waits, in pain, discomfort and uncertainty.
If Ahmed Abu Shawish does not receive a permit enabling him to travel to Echelof hospital in Tel Aviv very soon, he will have to resort to having his surgery inside Gaza. 'The doctors at the European hospital advised me to go to Israel for my treatment' he says. 'The risks of being treated here are much bigger - and I tell you, I am frightened at the prospect of having surgery for my cancer here. How do you think I feel when even my own doctors are telling me that, for my own sake, I need to go and have my surgery in hospital in Israel?'”
That’s the tale which, I trust, has left not a wet eye in your house.
Of course what this points up is also Israel’s idiocy. Why did it ever allow such people to think they had any right to be treated – I’m sure the treatment is delivered for free, by the way – in Israeli hospitals in the first place. Those who are making war on you, who are trying to wipe you out, should not be offered advanced Western medicine. They have their own hospitals. They have their hundreds of millions annually from the Infidels. They have access to Egyptian hospitals if need be. Or are they all like Edward Said’s parents, who went to Jerusalem in order to take advantage of the superior hygiene and treatment, even in the 1930s, that the Jewish hospitals could offer?

Saudi trade officials are warning against what they claim to be cancerous products made in Israel...
It wouldn't be the first time. In 1978, in an early act of agroterrorism, "Palestinians" injected mercury into oranges grown in Israel, in an attempt to poison consumers. It reduced Israeli exports of fruit by 40%.

Hugh, as usual is EXACTLY correct. Sounds like that Gazan has advanced prostate cancer...can anyone take a guess as to which nation actually manufactures fiberoptics used in Urology Laser Surgery? Israel would be a correct guess. You wouldn't believe how many muslims here in the US have NO PROBLEM having a Jewish M.D. While receiving top-notch care at a Catholic Hospital....even with the daily morning prayer announcements over the PA system.
No western medicine or inventions for any muslim from now on. If pressed, we only need to say "Inshallah, it is your god's will that you die of an easily treatable disease-now go away or else."

Yes--does anyone remember the terrible fate of young Nahoul the Bee? Nahoul was one of the Hamas' "Pioneers of Tomorrow" children's show mascots, sandwiched between Farfour the Mickey Mouse rip-off--who was beaten to death by an Israeli settler--and the current mascot, Nahoul's brother Assud the Jew-eating Rabbit, who is still with us.
Well, Nahoul was "martyred" because he could not be treated for his undefined illness in a nice Israeli hospital:
Following are excerpts from the Hamas TV children's show, "Pioneers of Tomorrow", which aired on Al-Aqsa TV February 2-9, 2008.
Nahoul: I can't stand it, Mom, I can't...
Mother: What can I do? You've been sick for a whole month. We went to Al-Arish, but we couldn't get you to Egypt to have an operation.
[...]
Nahoul: All the children of Palestine are dying without treatment. I can't die, I don't want to die... Father...
Attempts to perform CPR on Nahoul fail
Father: Nahoul! Nahoul!
[...]
Assud: Where is Nahoul? I haven't seen him for such a long time. . .
Father [to Farfour]: You are a believer, and our God...
Assud: What happened to Nahoul, father?
Father: Allah be praised, you are a believing Muslim, and you know that we place our trust in Allah... Your brother Nahoul got sick...
Assud: What hospital is he in, father?
Father: He's not in any hospital. He died a martyr's death, Allah have mercy upon him.
Assud: No, father!
Assud weeps
.............................
Well, OK, they do talk about taking Nahoul to a hospital in Egypt, but I notice that Assud isn't threatening to eat Egyptians--he wants to "eat up" some of those evil Jews. Clearly, it's Israel's fault.
I suppose any "Palestinian" who is unable to receive treatment in an Israeli hospital will similarly be considered a "martyr". Madness.

Hey RalphInfidel,
MUSLIMS GIVE YOU FOOT FUNGUS. The worst kind, too: Mosque foot fungus. This is actually true. Why do you think they won't shake our hands? Because their 'secret' will get out, as if it weren't common sense that if you put your face and hands all over a dirty mosque rug that people are required to walk on barefoot you'll contract millions of strains of foot fungus. But they probably think that because they rinse their feet first that they wash off the fungus. More Muslim 'medicine' along the lines of camel piss and fly wings. And they say that gays give you cooties. That's the worst case of projection yet.
