Telegraph:

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

"The first type is presented in the form of chewing gum and the second in the form of drops," he said.

Just read an article on BBC about Gaza war and Israeli war crimes.
It has testimony of Israeli soldiers.

"Israel soldiers speak out on Gaza"

Oh interesting, thanks for the link.

[in4success]

evidently the gum was leftover halloween candy from C-street

[MSNichols]

Very good.

[GardenerNorCal]

I would hope that there would be an independent analysis of the materials by a neutral party.

If it is proven that Israel is trying to pass contaminated goods then it would be appropriate release this story. I think issuing now just serves to deflect any blame if there is any.

I hate to agree with the Zen wingnut, but really...c'mon....

[ZenJu]

With, of course, the usual credibility of Palestinian sources...

Query:
Would you apply your skepticism of the Nakba in equal measure to the Shoah? Or is it purely motivated in racial terms?

[ZenJu]

Erm....try decaf lately?

[JohnnyLee]

Observation. In your posts you talk like a creepy robot from a Stanley Kubrick movie.

Hypothesis. You are talking this way to seem more intelligent.

Conclusion. One hopes that MA will begin to feel equal with his peers and stop communicating to them in a condescending tone.

[GardenerNorCal]

Why are Palestinian sources less credible than Isreali? The Israelis deny nuclear capabilities, but they will do anything to protect Dimona.

[CigarGod]

They also chose to steal someone else's land and thought they could still live in peace together.

Rather in-credible.

[Paganus]

He said-she said is no way to approach source criticism.

What benefit could the Israelis possibly reap by tainting gum with aphrodisiacs?

[Wisdo]

ho ho ho yes of course those crazy palestinians. They are simply a bunch of lying "animals" right?

I mean they are not even human are they? they deserve no respect of any kind and cetainly dont deserve any human rights, DO THEY?

[johnfromojai]

I have to admit I enjoy some of Huffington's fun and sensational stories but can you get the balance back to a little more serious? The BBC headlines today reports Israeli soldiers highlighting many of the war crimes that the UN and human rights organizations have been pointing to since January. Nearly 1 million children are suffering under the Israeli war crime of blockading civilians. How about reporting those serious stories. This story belittles the suffering of 1 1/2 million people.

When they denounce terrorism and support Israel's right to exist, the sane world might actually give a crap about them.

[MemoryAlpha]

Query:
And when will Israelis denounce terrorism and support Palestin's right to exist?

[C0Y0TE2]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ...........................OMG!

Okay, who are the w.ackos again in the ME?

[jrb236]

Send me some of that gum. It must be far better than Viagra or Cialis. Israel biggest secret. If they would sell us this great stuff . We all save alot of money. Giving it away for free would be great. Who would not want it?

[Weirdwriter]

I suppose an accusation that the Israelis were putting fluroride in the tap water to sap their precious bodily fluids didn't seem believable enough.

[Judyisacutie]

Too much Dr. Strangelove for you!

[Judyisacutie]

Reminds me of the line in the Pee Wee's Big Adventure movie: "Would you like some gum? Spearmint, or fruit?"

But seriously, this is a weird story.

[marbou888]

Makes sense. Is. rael can only exist if it is in a state of constant war. They are just making sure those Palestinians keep reproducing in large numbers.

[marissyb29]

haha. yeah thats exactly what Israel wants- more enemies to have to deal with. Israel wants peace- do you think Israeli citizens want to continue living with a constant fear of war or have to send their children to serve in the military? Do they want to invest the majority of their budget into security? No, they want to live normal lives like the rest of the world.

[CigarGod]

Creating a state out of others peoples land and expecting to live in peace demonstrates a serious disconnect....at least it would for a rational mind.

But, I guess it is consisent with the belief that the indigenous people are not worthy of consideration.

[marbou888]

I am sure that Israeli citizens want to live in peace just like the citizens of any other country on this planet. It is however the leaders of Israel that have always been very suspect. And now with Benjamin Netanyahu and Avigdor Leiberman running Israel, anythting, and I mean anything, is possible.
Everyone also knows that ordinary citizens don't push for wars so that their sons can get killed. It is the financiers and the arms dealers that are all gung ho about having a war.

[planetjeffy]

Israel is hoping the Pals make love not war.

I guess they don't know about the seX-Rays yet.

[MemoryAlpha]

Notion that Israel is deliberately trying to introduce aphrodisiacs into Gaza:
Ridiculous and improbable.

Notion that Israel is deliberately trying to introduce drugged foodstuffs of some variety:
Reasonably probable

Notion that Israel is merely dumping defective product into Gaza so it can get rid of it and simultaneous claim to be making a "generous food donation":
Most probably explanation, perhaps.

[gbrooks]

Have to agree there. The last thing the Israelis would want is a higher population of Palestinians.

[CigarGod]

...unless they can pit all the youth against their parents....

[jozzie]

What's with Islamists and sex. Get over it already!

[marbou888]

Would you like a pece of gum?

[C0Y0TE2]

DING!

[CigarGod]

I live in Utah...care to broaden your statement?

[cozen]

What crime has the inhumane idf not committed? http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/occupation-101/

[chrisfrmchi]

Where can we get this gum?
