Bags of Pig Fat to deter suicide bombers
Clever idea being reported in today's
IOL News:
bq. Israeli police have come up with plans to place bags of pig lard on buses in a bid to deter Palestinian militants from carrying out suicide attacks, the Maariv daily reported on Thursday.
bq. Rabbinical authorities have given the idea its approval on the grounds that it could be a life-saving measure even though pigs are also considered impure by Jews.
bq. Authorities believe that the move could discourage Palestinians from carrying out attacks as pieces of their exploded body could come into contact with the pig fat, prejudicing their chances of entering into paradise.
Heh... Imagine getting to within sight of your
promissed 72 raisins and being denied because of a spot of pig fat...
