Who is Being Piggish?

I receive the communiques of the Cabinet meetings of Israel's government via the Foreign Ministry. The one from yesterday, 28 August 2005, caught my attention in its thrid paragraph:-


Cabinet Communique
(Communicated by the Cabinet Secretariat)

The Cabinet, at its weekly meeting today (Sunday), 28 August 2005:

...ISA Director Diskin and OC Intelligence Maj.-Gen. Zeevy (Farkash) briefed ministers on...the three recent incidents of Jewish terrorism (in Shfaram and Shilo, and the throwing of a pig's head at the Hassan Bek Mosque in Jaffa) that were perpetrated in Israel in order to disrupt and/or harm the Disengagement Plan.


As already reported, those arrested, while claiming their act was a hate crime against Arabs (obviously; after all, Muslims don't eat pigs and to dress one's head up with a kaffiyah and the word Muhammed on it is surely motivated by hate), were a pimp and one of his girls.

Now, I wouldn't go so far as to call this a "terror" attack.

And I would certainly investigate a) whether the chief suspect is mentally stable; and b) whether he has or had some run-ins whether fellpw pimps from the Arab sector (we are talking about Yaffo, one of Israel's main prostitution areas) which might have caused him, from purely personal reasons, to do such a dumb thing.
