Israeli Garlic Smart Bomb used in Gaza

Israeli Garlic 'smart bomb' used in Gaza
08-Jan-2004
Scientists in Israel have developed a new weapon that allows the garlic compound "Allicin" to selectively kill.
Our correspondent reports that Palestinians in Gaza claim that the Israelis are using a new kind of weapon, the "Garlic Smart Bombs", in their attacks against the so called "cancer cells of the middle East", (our correspondent quotes here to a the words of hardliner Avigdor Lieberman, a prominent Israeli Politician who is likely to become Minister of Defense after the Israeli elections next week, who has indicated many times, that the Hamas terrorists are cancer cells in the Palestinian population, and should be destroyed).
Several months ago, a team at the Weizmann Institute reported that they successfully destroyed live by using a new, two-step system to deliver "allicin". Allicin is the substance which gives garlic its distinctive aroma and flavor. It is also potent and has been shown to kill not only cells, but also microbes, and healthy human body cells. Allicin is also highly unstable and breaks down quickly. This rapid breakdown and undiscriminating toxicity presented twin hurdles to creating an allicin-based reaction. Dr Albert Rabin and his team discuss an ingenious delivery method which works with the pinpoint accuracy of a smart bomb.
Up to date, those kinds of weapons are still forbidden to be used in International warfare, as the lasting effects are still little known, even though, the Israeli army claims these weapons to be very selective, and will effect only victims older than 18 years old, and does not harm children nor pregnant females or elder people, which have developed during their life time sufficient antidotes against the Allicin reaction.
A Belgium Journalist Joopi de Haan, touring the Gaza strip after Israel's latest incursion, visiting sites which were flattened by Israeli bombs reported a pungent smell of garlic hanging over the ruins. In an interview with a local Hamas fighter, Hassan Hamor who happened to visit his girlfriend, during the Israelis bombardment, noticed that the Hamas patriot seemed to be confused, especially in subjects such as victims and numbers, or what happened during the last three weeks, the before mentioned site effect of the "Garlic Smart Bomb". This might be the reason, that even now, after the cease fire of one and a half week, no official lists or numbers of the victims have been produced.
The Turkeys Prime Minister intent to refer a complaint of the illegal use of garlic by Israeli Forces to the United Nations Security Council in New York, (after large anti (garlic) Israel demonstrations in Istanbul and Ankara). The British Culinary Society decided to boycott Israel and to banish use of garlic in their kitchens. Their French counterparts refused to participate claiming that Garlic is one of their main ingredients of the French dishes. The Spanish and Italian chefs refused to comment. In Wall Street the cost of Garlic dropped to on known levels after this new rumor started to develop, up to date, the new administration of President Obama failed to comment on the matter.
Venezuela's President Chaves pronounced the celebration of "anti garlic day", and refused a visa for the popular Israeli Television Chef, of the Israeli culinary show, "Garlic and Pepper" Haim Cohen, who was invited by the Jewish Culinary Society in Caracas.
Allicin is an organic compound obtained from garlic. This colourless liquid has a distinctively pungent smell. This compound exhibits antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.[1] Allicin is garlic's defence mechanism against attacks by pests.
