The first floor of the Knesset building was evacuated on Wednesday evening after an envelope containing white powder was sent to Shas MK Shlomo Benizri – the Jerusalem Post reports. The MK’s assistant who opened the envelope reportedly felt ill and was taken to the hospital. The powder is currently being examined by authorities.
Benizri stirred controversy recently, when he said that the recent earthquakes that were felt across Israel was the result of the “Toeiva activity practiced in the country.”

I don’t like Shas staying in the Olmert knesset also, but sending Anthrax may be a little extreme…

anthrax may be a little extreme!
are you decent!or a member of the m’chavlei maschisim.
all we need now is chaos!
comon it was lemonade powder they sent it to the wrong address
highly unlikely to be anthrax, VERY hard to obtain
the fact that the assistant got sick was psychological…the incubation period for anthrax is about a week, minimum.
probably meant to scare by simulating anthrax
I agree with number two. Just a little extreme? It’s totally unacceptable!
Someone seems to want SHAS out of the “Toeiva activity practiced in the country.” *****meaning the government.
Anthrax is far to extream.
I’d say its a bit of off color “PURIM SHTICK”.
I’D go with the TUNABEIGEL it was lemonade powder sent to the wrong address
Listen everybody if someone sends a little white powder here and a little white powder there it shouldnt be such a big deal. its very sad that we’ve come to a point where white poewder is enough to merit a news story. this especially cause the white powder manufacturers a huge inconvenience, now everyone is afraid of white powder.

Anthrax is acute to para-acute which means it can affect you in a few hours. the CDC.GOV website states: symptoms appear WITHIN 7 DAYS of coming in contact. It is also naturally appearing in infected grain in certain parts of the US.
