"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.

I know this is off topic and dumb, but what is up with that baggy thing on their helmets?

[sense oar sheep]

it's called MARKETING.
americans, europeans, and asians always market products as aphrodisiacs.
sex sells everything from cars, drano, politics and right down to macdonalds' wood pulp "milkshakes".

it's odd the telegraph didn't collect additional information and portrayed israeli's as corrupting gazan youth.

i call bs.

ha ha ha. this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read!

[mpak]

yupp

[mpak]

Just as true as all of their other claims

Query:
Are you willing to go to the mothers of murdered Gazan children and let them know that you deny that their children ever existed?

[lightningbolt]

Their children existed before Hamas hid behind them after launching rockets. Hamas is a cowardly organization that uses children as human shields.

During a meeting with leaders of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1976, Syrian President Hafiz al-Asad referred to Palestine as a region of Syria, as Southern Syria. He then went on to tell the Palestinians: "You do not represent Palestine as much as we do. Do not forget one thing: there is no Palestinian people, no Palestinian entity, there is only Syria! You are an integral part of the Syrian people and Palestine is an integral part of Syria. Therefore it is we, the Syrian authorities, who are the real representatives of the Palestinian people."

[gakabani]

Irrespective if the political pressures of the Syrian government, Palestinians desrve their autonomy and freedom under any political state, be it Israel or Syria or even Palestine itself. What Israel does to the Palestinian people us what Germany dud during WWII. There is no difference when you kill them slowly or by other means.

[amalfedup]

Oh please! You again, trying to convince others that Palestinians are not Palestinians.

Query:
Who cares?

International Precedent:
Palestine exists according to UN 181.

[Palemoon]

Oh dear, lol, can you post a link to the quotes so we can read it for ourselves?

Yet, even if he said such a thing, it's partly true. Back in the days when women were allowed to be independent before the rise of religion in the 4th century, a certain Assyrian woman named Queen Zenobia was Queen of an empire stretching from the borders of Persia in south Asia, all the way to all of North Africa and north beyond Turkey. So yah, at one time Syria owned it all. Maybe we should give it all back to them? ;o)

If they have a working aphrodisiac with no side effects they should be marketing it with Smiling Bob as a dietary supplement in the US, not handing it out for free to the Palestinians. Don't they understand anything about capitalism and free markets?

[StanNotFromCA]

Now does anyone really believe that the Israeli's would waste such a wonder product on the Palestinians for free when there would be an emmense market in the United States for as much as they could produce, if it was for real?

[AmandaBC]

The IsraeIi military would do just about anything to hu.rt or humiliate Pale.stini­ans. Go on Youtube and you'll find plenty of examples. Sorry, can't post a link with HP removing it right away. This entire message itself has very little chance of making it...

[yaskeptik]

Amanda , please do not give BC a bad name. Go on Youtube and find anything you want. Remember probability that a good cop makes it on youtube much less than a bad one.
With your background one would expect more balanced and nuanced view.
I'm sure you would hate to have a hard earned doctorate degree and have a reputation of your opinions blinded by hatred to everything US or Israel.

One of the major problems within the Palestinians is overpopulation, and they think the Israelis would give them aphrodisiacs? Ridiculous.

[MemoryAlpha]

Sentiment:
Agreed.

Significantly greater likelihood:
Israel is merely dumping drugged and/or defective foodstuffs onto desperate Palestinians.

[JerryLevy]

If Hamas, the terror group that trains and executes suicide terrorist attacks, the group that has committed hundreds of extra judicial executions of Palestinians, and launches rockets from Hospitals and High Schools makes this accusation against Israel. So let's publish it as if it has merit, without investigation. The HP has minimal standards.

[Wisdo]

If they did.. They didnt. It was just some guy. And the story is probably Israeli PR to try and make people think that al lpalestinans are loonies - which makes it ok to drop white phospherous on them, so that you can watch aa a kid dies slowly as his body burns from the inside with smoke coming out of his ears and nose - on the news and then just shrug it off.

Bottom line: Israel is the monster raving loony in this equation. Their neighbours are human beings too.

[CigarGod]

Thanks.
Your description is worth a thousand pictures.

[calpinky]

Well they can dump some here. LOL
