NO, really.
I had not thought things were desperate enough that the ridiculous had become reasonable.
Either:
1) Maariv got owned/bamboozled/scammed, or
2) A fringe piece has been reported as mainstream, or
3) Papal[1] -- er, Rabbinical -- dispensation goes a loooong way.
Dang. It reminds me of the "Israeli army coats rubber bullets with pork" disinformaton campaign from a few years ago. But... it's reported in mainstream Israeli press. Desperation or farce?
[1] Papal, not Paypal, you geek, you.
