Israel unleashes 'skunk' on protests

THE Palestinian protesters massed at the fence expected tear gas and rubber bullets; what they got instead was a putrid yellow wind, Israel's newest weapon against West Bank demonstrators.

The noxious mist, which Israeli police refer to as "skunk," was used for the first time earlier this month, when a truck-mounted cannon sprayed it over the heads of protesters, sending them racing down the hillside, retching and tearing off their shirts to try to escape the stench.

Dozens of Palestinians from the village of Bilin, along with international and Israeli activists, had marched to a nearby segment of Israel's controversial separation barrier to demand its removal, just as they have done every Friday for the last three and a half years.

"No, no to settlements; no, no to the wall!" they shouted, as they waved Palestinian flags and posters of Yusef Amira, a 16-year-old shot dead by Israeli police at a protest in a neighbouring village last month.

The Israeli border police called on them to disperse through loudspeakers, warning them they were near a "closed military zone."

Then the skunk truck arrived, spraying a cloud of yellow mist and filling the air with the suffocating stench of faeces and urine.

Gotta love them Israelis!!!!

HELL YES!

"filling the air with the suffocating stench of faeces and urine"

Wonderful!! This should be used all over Hamastan and Palistan, until they get sick of misbehaving. Maybe it would be useful in Denver at the upcoming Democrat convention, too!!

“filling the air with the suffocating stench of faeces and urine”

Why would that bother them? Isn't that how those pali’s normal smell?

[SunkenCiv]

The only change I’d make is, rather than just the smell of urine and feces, I’d...

For Shame, Hezbollah had a really bad day!

Palestinian Dog was examined after drinking Israeli Skunk Spray:

Allah Acubar! There is NOTHING there!

[Iam1ru1-2]

I’m sure the UN human rights council is issue a condemnation declaring Israel is using a type of chemical weapon.

"Run Abdul! They are attacking us with hippies!"

[Slings and Arrows]

I wonder how fast the Israelis could send a few thousand gallons of that stuff to Denver?

[LtKerst]

It was Nancy Pelosi sweat!!!

[Mr Ramsbotham]

... sending them racing down the hillside ....

Being Palestinians, they were probably running to get their friends.

Having been on the other side of the wall I would agree with you the smell should not have even noticed the smell.

[Gorzaloon]

One of the town nerds got ahold of a bottle of ethanethiol (Ethyl Mercaptan) when we were kids. It had a lable, "Flammable Stench! Chill to 0°C before opening!", and had a drawn sealed glass top.

He lobbed it into the driveway of someone he did not like.

We drove by Ground Zero about twenty minutes later; all of us groaned and we wound up the windows, turned around and fled.

Tons of flashing lights...Poice, Fire trucks, gas company trucks, evacuation and pandemonium. It was just awful.

About time someone thought of the power of stench. It makes people run away. It was gone the next day.
