Now I have blood melons to add to the list. Ynet News reports:
"Beware of Israeli melons infected with AIDS arriving in Saudi Arabia!" is the latest rumor being spread throughout Saudi Arabia like a wildfire. An SMS message being sent around the country this week said, "The Saudi Interior Ministry warns its citizens of a truck loaded with AIDS infected melons that Israel brought into the country via a 'ground corridor.'"
The Interior Minister's spokesman General Mansour al Turki responded to news of the message and made it clear to a-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper that the Ministry "did not issue any such announcement. This is just a rumor."
This is not the first rumor to spread through the country recently. Just last month another rumor had it that sweets containing carcinogenic flour were being sold in many stores. Al Turki urged the public to ignore such passing rumors, and said that the authorities were doing everything in their power to ensure the citizens' wellbeing. Head of the center for chemicals and toxins in Mecca, Dr Ahmad Elias also stressed that there was no truth to these rumors.
Besides the obvious lunacy, there should have been another sign to act as a major heads up for all concerned Saudis. Saudi Arabia has yet to end its boycott of all things Israeli; therefore, Zionist blood melons cannot be legally imported into the kingdom. Of course, if the Zionist Mossad dogs are running a black market in Blood Melons - all bets are off.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that these melons somehow broke the Arab trade boycott of Israel.
