Over a week ago Bird Flu broke out on various Israeli poultry farms from areas adjacent to the Gaza Strip, to farms to the east of West Bank Arab population centers, in the Jordan Valley. These are not large distances. Palestinian clarics described the outbrake on Israeli farms as "punishment from Allah." It is difficult to conceive that numerous Israeli poultry farms would be affected, while Palestinian Authority poultry, sometimes only a short drive down the road remain unaffected. Yet since the outbrake the Palestinians have not reported a single case and have taken no action to destroy infected or potentially infected flocks. This is causing a number of Israeli experts to project that the Palestinian Authority is suppressing information of Bird Flu outbreaks in the Palestinian Authority, a development which could have serious, direct health consequences for Israel. Israel will likely, in the very near future, turn to international bodies like the World Health Organization to assume control of Palestinian counter-Bird Flu issues before it is too late.
UPDATE: Neocon's cover-up suspisions premature: Bird Flu announced today in Gaza on PA farms (likely belatedly announced by a week): "the discovery of bird flu in Gaza changes everything. We are so close to them, and I do not know if they will deal with the problem like it should be dealt with. It definitely complicates things." Israeli veterinarians met with their Palestinian counterparts to discuss how best to deal with the problem. With Hamas set to take over, these types of contacts could halt, complicating counter-Bird Flu efforts acorss the region.

Well, that headline probably set a record for invoking Godwin’s Law, now
didn’t it? But sadly, in this case it does not seem to be inappropriate. To

ArutzSheva reports today that "bird flu" has reached Gaza and the Jordan Valley.
ReplyDeleteLast Friday, WorldNetNews reported the following (http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49346):
"Praise Allah the bird flu has hit the Jews. It came because of their sins against the Palestinians; because they are the most cruel enemy of humanity; because they are themselves the enemy of humanity; because they don't believe in Allah; because they falsify the book of Allah; because they cheated the prophet Muhammed; and because they cheated Allah and even their own prophet, Moses," Sheikh Abu Muhammed, an imam at the popular Al-Tadwa mosque in Beit Lahia north of Gaza City was was quoted as saying.
I had to laugh at the news that bird flu has touched Palestinistan!
Apologies for the long comment.
The Doc makes excellent points which I will incorporate.
