Israel wants swine flu renamed "mexican flu"

"We will use the term Mexican flu in order not to have to pronounce the word swine," said Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman

Leave it to the heebs :1orglaugh

What's wrong with having to pronounce "swine". I think it's much better than having it named after a entire race of people. How would they like it if we named the next flu the "jew flu"?

i wonder if jews ever play jokes on each other like ..

Person #1 " hey which wine do you like better , that one or that one ( pointing at bottles ) "

Person #2 " i like this wine best "

Person #1 " haha you said you like the swine, you dirty pig lover"

Gesundheit :thumbsup

I have a few friends who are jewish, and the things Ive heard them say regarding race towards others, would make an Alabaman Klansmen blush, especially about Mexicans.

damn what is there to comment :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

This is like a real life Onion headline.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

crazy...never ceases to amaze me how easy it is for one culture to take offence at one word. What aboout all the Mexicans that would rather keep the name "swine flu"

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :thumbsup

You have no idea how horrible it would be for a Jew to get infected and die from something called swine flu! :1orglaugh

Wasnt it in Thailand last year or so, they can name it after them - the Thai's do not seem to care what anyone calls or thinks of them.

yah but they already have noodles named after them

I say it's a good call ... An obese argentinean musician just died from it and it was quite sad to see the headline that he suffered from the "swine flu".

hahha! nice find. Thanks!

No doubt.

We just don't want it mixed up with the Jewflu... :2 cents:

whats wrong with mexican flu ?
Should the world rename Spanish Flu.. to something else ??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu

there's idiots in every race

i agree :thumbsup

i bet he would have been more offended to be called a mexican than a swine :)

Damn Mexicans, can't let them have it, I say we call it
FREEDOM FLU

LOL, variation of the "vinegar" joke.

Yeah, Freedom indeed... Freedom from Life aka Death. :Oh crap Does have an Orwellian ring to it:1orglaugh

yea how terrible and insulting it would be to identify something by its country of origin

I guess you also take offense to these products as well ?
Mongolian Beef
Thai noodles
English Breakfast
Brazilian wax
russian roulette
french toast
french fries
Spanish Flu
.. and many others

or Manila Mangoes or Manila Folders

or thai ladyboys

If it started in Mexico fine but the US had cases of the swine flu in the 1970's. http://www.capitalcentury.com/1976.html
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol12no01/05-1132.htm

Did they copyright that word? Whats the deal?

We'll still be arguing about stupid shit like that when we all catch it and die...

damn that's sensitive

sorry Jane, but this current epidemic started in Mexico City where over 100 people have died.
Mind you Spanish Flu did not start in spain, but we still call it spanish flu

hahaha...great joke. :1orglaugh

I know that Mexico is the first country to report a major outbreak. I was pointing out that this swine Flu is not new. I read some other threads on here and people acted liked it was a new flu. They should just call it Swine Flu. :2 cents:

Actually Jane it is genically a new variation of H1N1 swine flu.
Just like the Spanish FLu was its own genetic variation of H1N1 swine flu
And yes the deadly flu outbreak in 1976 in the US was also a different variation of H1N1 flu virus

I'm now officially offended that Spanish Flu of 1918 is not called swine flu as it should have been called.

The sad thing is people are making such a big deal of this. They said SARS was going to get us a few years back and it never did. You have a better chance of getting hit by a car then getting the Swine Flu. What a paranoid world we live in. :winkwink:

FYI It may be a new version but it is still the Swine Flu. The CDC has been studying different versions of this flu for years. There are some good articles to read on it.

it's only that stupid Litzman guy that wants to call it that.
everybody in Israel think calling it "Mexican flu" is stupid and thinks Litzman is an idiot.
I have a few friends in Israel that told me about it on Skype - they say that guy is a major dumbass

who the fuck cares what you call it? Seriously....

Jane,

it sounds like you're not afaird of "All American News" (gringo news) either.
Cheers! :pimp

obviously 90% of Douches on GFY do..:2 cents: :Oh crap

More people die from common cold each day then the swine flu.

Jews have just reached a whole new level of dumbness

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i think you mean the mexican flu you anti-semetic racist bastard :winkwink:

The Jew Flu.. fucking perfect..

actually the joke was a little long i made a shorter version that works better.

Person #1 gives a friend a glass of wine then says "do you like this wine" ?

Person #2 "yes i do "

Person #3 "HAHA you dirty gentile you said you like the swine"

when did mexico get its own race?
