This is all a cultural misunderstanding....If Israel doesn't have a sense of humor...well, then the hell with 'em.
Being that the entire Middle East is essentially a 7th century theme park, and having observed similar festivities first hand, let me explain.
The fun starts when the slowest camel in the oasis is selected by a revered tribal elder and a rocket propelled grenade is inserted into, ah, um......well, where no camel would like to have a rocket propelled grenade inserted, and the animal is then trotted about the encampment by the rope attached to his nose ring in a tight circle, picking up speed as a slow fuse is lit on the improvised explosive device protruding from the camel... once the propellent ignites, the camel takes off like he's got a J.A.T.O booster strapped on his back, which in fact he does, pirouetting skywards as the tribal elder takes cover, and the camel, due to the momentum circles the wadi several times before detonation. Once detonation occurs, the children, who by this time have been awakened in their tents by their parents, stack their little Kalashnikovs and run out squealing with joy and laughter to the impact crater and regions beyond where the camel landed and collect choice bits and pieces of the camel,(the nose, the spleen, the testicles, the eyes), all collected for a nutritious Ramadan soup only eaten after sundown. All the while chanting, "Ach Rachnoph al'Saleem, Ach Rachnoph al' Saleem!!!" (roughly translated, "so do to Israel, Lord!, So do to Israel, Lord )
Its a bit like a Pinata, ....only you get soup.
Remember Israel, Lord...for she is small (and at the moment, fairly pissed.)
