Israel's Sand Worm Fighters
Egyptian security sevices have accused the Mossad of training sharks to bite tourists in the Red Sea, harming Egyptian tourist industry. And there is that Saudi Arabian Chief General that arrested and interrogated a migrating vulture suspected of spying for Israel. One has to wonder if the Arab mind, always unstable, is not falling into raging paranoia.
May be they are not falling, but we are pushing them. It appears that the IDF has in its employ exotic wild animals, such as ibexes and antilopes clearing bush behind enemy lines, llamas carrying packs inthe mountains and so on. The sight of these creatures has fired up Arab imagination and now they suspect a Mossad operative in every strange bird and fish. I wish to imagine we are waging a well planned, low cost psy-war operation to drive the Arabs crazy.
I dont know why, but that Siamese fighting fish in my aquarium (pic) seems suspiciously interested in me. Is it a chicom spy?

When were Arabs ever sane?
Of course they are sane. My cousin's neighbor is with the IDF unit training Sand Worms, just as in Dune.
In the books, it was Arabs riding sandworms. You know you have problems when ever the sandworms switch sides.

Arabs? The sandworms are called Shai-Hulud - from the Hebrew שי "shay" - a present and "Hulud" חולד (חיה) = שרץ , חי מתחת לאדמה ואינו רואה (spalax) that is an animal that lives underground and has no eyes.
The "hulud" is one of the 50 animals mentioned in the Bible, and with all Biblical animals, we dont know what specific animal it is, so it may have been a relative of the mythical sandworm, which is not really a worm. Dune does not explain the energy source of sandworms, but I happen to know that they feed on oil and gas, abundant in Saudi and Kuweiti sandy fields. The Dune Arabs call the sandworm the Father of the Desert, or the Old Man of the Desert, and are terrified by it. When people disappears, they say they have been devoured by the Sand God of the Desert. The IDF sandworm trainers give them Hebrew names: Barak, Hazak, Namer, etc. There is one called Kojak.
