- "Residents of Gush Katif decided to take matters
into their own hands," said local Rabbi Yosef Al-Nekaveh yesterday,
"and when we were involved in evacuating the bodies of the three
murdered
Israelis [at the Kisufim attack this past Monday night], they placed pig
fat and pigskin on the body of the dead terrorist." He said that a
"right-wing kibbutznik" had supplied them with the swinish
tissues.

- Arab MKs responded with outrage. Ahmed Tibi said,
""This
is a pig-like act of a man who is not worthy of being a rabbi," while
Abdel Malek Dahamshe added, "The ethical inferiority and lowliness
that the settlers have reached is intolerable. This is an act of
first-degree
desecration of God's name... It is especially shocking to think that a
rabbi did this."
-
- On the other side of the spectrum, MK Tzvi Hendel said,
"If these primitive murderers stuff their brains with nonsense about
Paradise and who-knows-how-many virgins waiting only for them, then they
certainly believe in the other nonsense that being buried with pigskin
blocks their way to Paradise."
