Hamas exposes sexy zionist chewing gum plot

What will those nefarious geniuses at Mossad think of next?

Hamas suspects that Israeli intelligence services are supplying its Gaza Strip stronghold with chewing gum that boosts the sex drive in order to "corrupt the young," an official said on Tuesday.

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

The story came to light after a Palestinian man filed a complaint that his daughter had experienced "dubious side effects" after chewing the offending gum, Israeli media reported.

Not to dwell too much on this, but given the already explosive population growth in Gaza, if Israel were really going to do something like this, wouldn't they be more likely to use a chemical that would discourage young Palestinians from having sex?

Right

Just like how we didn't make fun of the "freedom fries" thing after 9/11 out of respect for the poor, paranoid Republicans.

"In protest of France's opposition to a U.S. war on Iraq, the U.S. Congress' cafeteria has changed french fries and french toast to 'freedom fries' and 'freedom toast.' Afterwards, the congressmen were so pleased with themselves, they all started freedom kissing each other. In a related story, in France, American cheese is now referred to as 'idiot cheese.'" —Tina Fey, Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update"

Um...

Actually, the Hamas Charter was written in 1988 and is no less delusional. For example, it says that the Jews were behind the French Revolution.

And people will still insist that President Obama deal openly with Hamas idiots.

literalists vs. literalists who are counterintuitive

let me construct an analogy. Chinese companies made toys that had lead in them, Chinese companies made milk that had melamine in it. These products got exported to countries all over the world. But guess what, only US media had enraged periods of entropic egoism, there were jokes on jay leno and letterman that were really good and yet condescending to the Chinese nation. Now no one suspected Chinese intelligence agency's intervention here.

Now the Israel-Palestine case does not involve nation states with universally agreed boundaries, and they are not friends with each other, so there may be leakages of goods traded across boundaries. Simple game theoretic analysis suggests a possibility of employment of counter-intuitive means to degenerate the other side. So there is a strong possibility of irrational means employed by Israel too, given the fact that Israel considers a 1000 civilian murders in a fortnight as deterrence.

Since, libido's are not only used for making more babies, !we all know that, like how many kids did Freud have?)Libido vs. civilization or society at large is where the divorce begins between individual values and societal beliefs and ideals. So there again, when Joshua says 'if Israel were really going to do something like this, wouldn't they be more likely to use a chemical that would discourage young Palestinians from having sex? ' he is forgetting that Palestinians need Unity, for which their political outcome is Hamas, and anything that goes against this unity will be scrutinized and interrogated by their people, it is their right to do so. Path dependency of the situation suggests, they will be overly-suspecting of any Jewish product or missile.

So dont be a slothy mind Joshua, you do a bad job by not using imagination and REASON, so please analyze, parralelyze instead of sensationalizing the entire lob sided bell-endic article which is akin to propaganda.

Truth is served...

Well Johnchen this is the very point that a balanced view has illustrated. Since Israel's irrational offensive of mammoth proportions can be dubbed as 'staunch defense', it is very much likely for illogical means such as contamination of products to be done in the name of such 'defense', which is actually an 'offense' if you read Khan jee's comment on individual/society dichotomy. In other words given the empirical events, one cannot rule out commonsensical possibilities!

Let me ask you this, is the morality of behavior examined with reference to a universal moral doctrine, such as the Kantian Categorical Imperative? Or is it done on some belief which is not universally shared?

Even if the conventional - utilitarian greatest happiness principle is utilized as a means of measuring moral worth of Israel's actions, Israel fails to show any morality in its behavior. Actually if you tie ethics with democracy, then Israeli democracy is barbaric isn't it! Sorry to say but this lack of virtue is NOT shared ALL Western or Eastern Democracies. (generalization doesn't help does it!)
