Saudi Police Arrest a Bird Accused of ‘Spying’ for Israel

A vulture tagged by environmental scientists at Tel Aviv University was arrested after straying into Saudi Arabian territory, reportedly on suspicions that the bird was a spy for Israel’s Mossad. Haaretz.com reports:
Although these tags indicate that the bird was part of a long-term research project into migration patterns, residents and local reporters told Saudi Arabia’s Al-Weeam newspaper that the matter seemed to be a “Zionist plot.”
The accusations went viral, with hundreds of posts on Arabic-language websites and forums claiming that the “Zionists” had trained these birds for espionage.
This isn’t the first incident of an Arab government believing Israel uses animals to carry out espionage. Last month, the Sinai regional governor in Egypt accused Israeli agents of intentionally releasing a shark that killed and maimed tourists in order to sabotage the country’s tourist industry.
“What is being said about the Mossad throwing the deadly shark in the sea to hit tourism in Egypt is not out of the question. But it needs time to confirm,” Mohamed Abdel Fadil Shousha said.

Posted on January 5, 2011 at 9:29amI saw on the news this am (Fox)where a Shark attacked a boat in Australian waters.
Report Post »The guys in the boat filmed the damn thing.
I could plainly see the Star of David on the back of that shark.
As for the buzzard.Well!! it aint’ not just any damn buzzard.
It’s an Israeli new stealth missile. It’s just shaped like a buzzard.
I’m glad the Israelis did not have a warhead on it.
One thing for sure. The Jews better not send one of those stealth missile over China.
The Communist Chinee will kill a dissident (after removing the internal organs of course, can’t let a good dissident go to waste)and leave it out in a field. When that stealth missile comes in to feed, the Chinee will capture it and reverse engineer the darn thang.
In the future, if you see a buzzard, better make sure it’s a real buzzard.

Posted on January 5, 2011 at 8:05amIt all makes sense when you think about their people. What have the Arabs accomplished in the last 2000 years. They still wander in the desert, they still burn their s**t in the streets, they still abuse and disfigure their women, they still worship a pedophile and practice pedophilia, they still ride carts pulled by donkeys- oh that’s right, they now have rubber wheels instead of wooden ones. Great accomplishment!

Posted on January 5, 2011 at 7:57amYes, this condor is a spy for the Zionists. In fact, it flew over the sand dunes of Arabia for 3 days on a special Zionist plot to count the grains of sand in the Arabian peninsula. I believe the movie will be called Three Days of the Condor and they’re trying to get Robert Redford to star in it.
