...Given that re-definition or re-interpretation there is no reason to believe that the prohibition about pork, which is already subject to exceptions would be any deterrent to any Muslim terrorist.
Seriously: inhaled particulate matter doesn't wind up in the saliva or the lungs. It winds up enveloped by mucus and moved out of the respiratory tract by muco ciliary clearance and expectorated although it is obviously possible to swallow mucus instead of spit it out. This would clearly be beyond one's control and allowable under the rabbinical despensation for a life or death situation.
Like any aerosol weapon the Israelis should not launch it at themselves but at their enemy and wear protective gear to prevent themselves from inhaling any of the powder that might waft their way.
How will you get that evidence?At the same time, I see no reason to believe it wouldn't be an effective deterrent. Clearly the need for further evidence is indicated.

Especially a fanatical one...The fact that Islamic teachings already allow Muslims to eat pork when necessary and to sell pork when necessary (and by necessary that just means to keep their business going) is not any indication to you that this pork prohibition isn't likely to deter a Muslim on a battlefield?
Check it again. You might discover that saliva doesn't end up in the lungs.
So you're saying that the lungs and stomach ARE the same thing? Yes or no?
No, I am not saying that.
Where did you get that idea from?
Because you tried to refute my assertion that they were not the same thing by telling me to "look again."
Yes or no, please.
Yeah, but Steve...what if they didn't know?
They would be swallowing pig and not recieve a dispensation.
At any rate, this dispensation thing also works for Muslims.
Ergo, your idea is, once again, shot down.
This is getting more and more ridiculous.
That's equivalent to the gas attacks during WWI.
Can you imagine only Jews getting gas masks? That's a PR disaster
waiting to happen.
You misunderstood what I said, then.
Why wouldn't they know. Are you saying the Israeli Defense Forces won't advise their soldiers in the dispersal zone?
Once again I reiterate that we have no way of knowing this unless this inexpensive and simple idea is deployed and we find these particular Hezbollah muslims are unconcerned about it.
How is shooting Bacos or Pork Rinds at the enemy the equivalent of WW I gas attacks? Me thinks not. Those were highly injurious and often fatal, these will not be.
You have a valid point. Both sides in the conflict should be supplied with a sufficient quantity of the following duck bill masks which are rated to block the inhalation of dust. I would not want either side to be harmed by breathing it in. Only getting doused with it.

I suggest that the Israelis contract with a company such as the one below to supply them with souped up weapons which will non-lethally shoot the weapons grade pork rind dust or Betty Crocker Bacos at the enemy:

Get your corned beef from a real deli, get some genuine Jewish rye bread - the kind of loaf that has to be sliced right there on the premises - and a jar of brown deli mustard - not the yellow puke, and not the fancy combinations of Dijon/mayonnaise/horseradish - and make yourself a two-inch high sandwich from those ingredients. If you don't find it a delicacy fit for God in Heaven, then you have no reason to live.
I don't have time for this idiocy.So then, by countering a reference with advice that I "check again," you were actually agreeing with me instead of disputing me, and admitting your own error? Yes or no, please.
I don't have time for this idiocy.
Civlians have already been warned by Israel to move out of the action zones. They can be re-warned to stay ut of the pork weapon dispersal zone as well or get themselves a duck-bill mask which will prevent them
from inhaling it but not stop them from getting sprinkled by it.
You are not serious about all this, are you?
Your questions and objections seem very serious to me so I certainly try and give them serious responses. Would you want it any other way?
I am very serious about a non-lethal alternative to ending the conflict even if it means offending Hezbollah.
