Aphrodisiac Chewing Gum: Conspiracy Theory or Genocide?
Friday, July 17, 2009 at 1:30
Hamas officials have claimed that Israeli intelligence service were supplying chewing gum laced with an aphrodisiac in order to "corrupt the young" of Palestine.
Hamas police spokesman Islam Shahwan said: "We have discovered two types of stimulants that were introduced into the Gaza Strip from Israeli border crossings... The first type is presented in the form of chewing gum and the second in the form of drops."
Hamas officials claim that they detained several members of a gang involved in the gum's import over the past two years, who "admitted during the investigation they were linked to the Zionist intelligence services."
Israeli officials have not commented on the issue, though one army source describes it as "absurd."

I fail to see how an aphrodisiac can in anyway be considered a Genocide?
that seems a bit sensatonalist way to put it, no?
So how will this affect the demographic time bomb?
Um... what brand was that gum?
