Okay, so I may have grimly suggested responding to the whines about food shortages in Gaza with truckloads of Bird Flu infected chickens, but did they actually take me seriously?

Bird carcasses were discovered on Tuesday at the site of former Gaza Strip settlement Netzarim.

Tests were being conducted to determine whether the birds had been infected with and died of bird flu, Army Radio reported.

“We made a mistake in handling the birds’ carcasses, and from now on, we kill and bury,” Agriculture Minister Ze’ev Boim announced at Tuesday’s special Knesset meeting dealing with the recent outbreak of avian flu in Israel.

Um… did those birds die in Israel and were dumped in Gaza, died in Gaza from the natural progression of the bird flu, or were they killed by Gazans for propaganda purposes?

Stay tuned.
