This recent newspaper report has got to take first prize in the ability to stretch people’s "imagination". I wonder when the BBC will pick this up as surely they will!!

The report published by two Palestinian newspapers – one of which, “Al-Hayat Al-Jadida” is an official Palestinian Authority organ directly controlled by the office of PA President Mahmoud Abbas - are accusing Israel of releasing rats to chase away the Arab residents of Jerusalem."

According to the PA papers on July 18th, this amazing creature, the "Israeli-Jerusalem" rat, no doubt secretly developed in Dimona, or other secret place is:

- Immune to rat poison

- Aggressive and larger than usual

- Unafraid of cats and able to scare them away

- Highly fertile, with females giving birth to 140 young rats a year, four times the normal average

and now best of all!!

- Able to distinguish between Jewish and Arab neighbors!!.

No doubt rats have been released, but the names have been mixed up. The P.A. have released rats into the Israeli government who have infected many members. These rats have the ability to release terrorists and child killers and escort them to safety. Yes many large rats are prowling the corridors of power who are immune to accountability.

I don't believe this story at all, and reckon its pure propaganda. Surely the Israelis would have more imagination then to use a rat. After all wouldn't it be hard to conceal all these cages with rats in them being let loose in the streets of Jerusalem?

Once again the creative mind of the Arab Palestinian press shows its stuff. Too bad the story isn't true.

Wow what a technologically advanced weapon of war. No doubt about it, the Jews are so clever! It falls into the category of poisoned bananas for the palestinians and introduction by Israel to the territories of aids and drugs.
