the birds have apparently reached Israel.
This has to be done to make the Arabs less suspicious of a conspiracy.
if the flu had reached Mecca and yet missed Tel Aviv, then it would obviously look very dodgy even to the dumbest.
so you see, the deadly virus has to makes every stop along the way.
Arabs do tend to think that Jews are always up to no good, scheming and plotting against anyone who wants to create the Palestinan State.
Arabs even claim that 9/11 was a cunning plan by Israel to make US unleash hell on Arabs.
Arabs think that bird flu is a plot against them, its part of war on terror operations.
they fear that this flu virus is kinda final solution to wipe out all Israel's enemies.
