Can bags of pig fat deter suicide bombers?


Jerusalem - Israeli police have come up with plans to place bags of pig lard
on buses in a bid to deter Palestinian militants from carrying out suicide
attacks, the Maariv daily reported on Thursday.

Rabbinical authorities have given the idea its approval on the grounds that
it could be a life-saving measure even though pigs are also considered
impure by Jews.

Authorities believe that the move could discourage Palestinians from
carrying out attacks as pieces of their exploded body could come into
contact with the pig fat, prejudicing their chances of entering into
paradise.

The paper said that the rabbinical dispensation could mean that security
forces also hang bags of lard in shopping malls and schools.

Public buses have been a favourite target for Palestinian suicide bombers
since the start of the intifada in September 2000.

Another idiotic statement, with nothing pertaining to the thread, as usual.

Wish me dead, huh? Just because I've proven you a dolt time and time
again, is no reason. Well, maybe for a stupid person with no other
recourse it is.

In point of fact, if you actually read the Snopes entry, you will find that
they do not call it 'debunked', but merely unconfirmed. There was at least
one documented discussion of the method at that time in the Philippines, but
they simply cannot confirm that the Black Jack Pershing incident actually
occurred. But definitely not "...old debunked silliness...".
