Israel boosting Gaza sex drive with gum: Hamas
2009-07-16
[Al Arabiya Latest] 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 first type is presented in the form of chewing gum and the second in the form of drops," he said.

" The intelligence services are aiming to corrupt the young generation by distributing these products among students "

The Islamist movement that has run the densely populated and impoverished Palestinian territory for the past two years said it has detained members of a gang that helped to bring in the products.

"They admitted during the investigation they were linked to the Zionist intelligence services," he said.

One suspect said he had received the products from an Israeli intelligence officer at a cut-rate price "with the officer saying they did not want money, but to distribute the products among the young people of Gaza," Shahwan said.

"The intelligence services are aiming to corrupt the young generation by distributing these products among students."

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.

The Israeli military declined to comment officially on the allegations, which one military source termed "absurd."

#8  I can see why they are worried. If their young-un's are busy plotting ways to score, they ain't gonna want to blow themselves up and take a few Juice in the process. Who wants 72 virgins when you got a sure thing with Fatima and Yasmin down the block this Friday night?

I mean, hell, that would mean their fearless leaders might have to strap on a bomb or two themselves instead....and as important as they are to the cause....that could be catastrophic.

#7  Chill Gazoo, they could have sent that spearmint flavored plastique which after mixing with saliva and warming in the mouth only requires a bursted bubble to provide the energy to detonate.

#6  Ohfergawdsake! The Palestinians plan to outbreed the Israelis and push them out by sheer population pressure if they can't force them out by violence. Why would they have a problem if the Israelis help them achieve their end?

#5  Its a matter of labelling. If the stuff was called "Mecca gum" and "Mecca drops", things would be hunky dory.

#2  I dunno why they're wasting it on the Paleos. They could make a lot of money with that stuff.

Not that I need any, of course...
