As a blogger who is also a Jewish mother, I couldn't pass this story by. Ynetnews.com has an article about those in Syria who are accusing the Jews of creating and spreading bird flu in order to kill Arabs.
They say we are developing a strain that specifically attacks those with "Arab genes".
We supposedly started the strain in the Far East in order to deflect attention. (What a fake-out!)
As they say, you can't make this stuff up.
Then again, it does answer a question that has puzzled Jewish thinkers for years, namely why do Jewish mothers keep making their families chicken soup?
Aha! It's to slowly build up the immunites against the disease.
Now the only question is, what are the matza balls for?

I just came across your blog. It's always cool to get news from the inside. I had the chance to visit Isreal back in 2000 and hope to go back again soon.

Thansk for posting this, West Bank Mama. One can't help but laugh, but at the same time, these kinds of articles incite only more craziness. BTW- I plan to make some chicken soup right now for Shabbos! Yum!
Love the reference to chicken soup!! So true.
If only we had as much power as they think we do.
JR - Welcome to my blog.
Regina - laughing is the best way to deal with this craziness, I think.
anonymous - chicken soup rules!
Jack - amen
They can't be serious, but I guess people are willing to believe anything against us.
