The Border Guard has begun using a new means of contending with riots coined "Skunk".
The police developed this new method for scattering violent demonstrations and tested its effectivity in the last demonstration which took place in the West Bank village of Naalin.
Separation Fence
Use of the "Skunk" is by means of an especially foul-smelling liquid spraying machine.
Over the past few years, security forces have been compelled to deal with a large number of demonstrations against construction of the separation fence in the West Bank village of Bilin and lately, in Naalin.
Until now, forces used rubber bullets, tear gas and shock grenades in order to disperse crowds who burned tires and threw stones at soldiers.
The police searched for a solution in order to deal with riots and simultaneously reduce the number of injuries. Thus, it was decided to "enlist" the "Skunk" for dispersing riots.
On Friday, during a protest that took place near Naalin, Border Guard officers used the "skunk" for the first time in order to scatter the violent rioters in the area.
Use of the new apparatus began upon receipt of all necessary authorizations and after operational, health-related and legal instruction were given by the body which created this technology.
Border Guard Commander Yisrael Yitzhak, who is responsible for use of the "Skunk", also authorized its usage.
"Skunk" is operated by two manual systems and one water-spraying machine. However, instead of spraying water the foul-smelling material is sprayed.
The Border Guard reported that after the first usage of the "skunk" the Palestinians fled in order to shower and change clothes.
It should be noted that it is still unclear whether or not the new apparatus will permanently replace the previous crowd-dispersal means.
Israel should announce that it's also doped with tiny pig pieces.
Palestinians showering and changing clothes? No way.
I’m sure the DNC is looking into renting it for their Convention. ‘Course, the most die hard protesters won’t even notice the smell as they likely hadn’t bathed or changed since April.

At first glance I thought you were saying, "Politicians showering and changing clothes? No way." They stink no matter how often they shower and change clothes, especially Democrats.
I call on all pork producers to donate pig urine to the cause!
How long does the order linger? Can it just be ‘washed off’? Could the odor help identify participants who wanted to remain anonymous?
Great minds think alike- you beat me to it!

Dog: "Well, this stinks.
First time in years, but it does happen.
Sure they will notice it, like we notice deodorant.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
I can't find it anymore.
Should be *scent* when typing between phone calls. :(
I wonder if they have skunks in the middle east. We abhor the odor, but it’s at least familiar to us. I can imagine having it sprayed all over me, not having ever smelled it before, could be terrifying. I like the pig offal idea too, but then the world would say the Izzies were being religiously insensitive.
