1. Plague of Locusts
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (03.03.13)
What timing! With Pesach a few weeks away, could this the Hand of HaShem?
2. Hashem
The Bald Scotsman ,   Tampa, USA   (03.03.13)
Here we go again. Let's bring up Hashem's all encompassing power when it suits us.
3. Hmm, just before Pesach.
Wise Saba ,   Western Negev   (03.03.13)
I wonder what will be next.
4. "Rumors"
deavman ,   Acco, Israel   (03.03.13)
"Ministry of Agriculture dismissed the warnings as rumors and refused to examine the issue." Obviously this an evil Zionist conspiracy .
5. 1When reaching Iran, will be Pessah...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.03.13)
That s their next secret destination.Lol.
6. Passover again.
Eli ,   Israel   (03.03.13)
Looks like the God of Israel is giving us a little reminder just before the holy Passover holiday.
7. Wetter winter in the Sudan
Arnold ,   Canada   (03.03.13)
I am no expert on locusts but I presume that a wetter winter season in the Sudan would have supplied the necessary spawning for the locusts to be in such numbers. Even with planning ahead I do not see much that humans can do. All you are doing is trying to fight nature. Nature always wins.
8. Maybe Egypt is not Islamic enough?

9. I hope
Chan ,   FL, USA   (03.03.13)
Jonathan Pollard is being treated nicley by his hosts in N.C. Otherwise............ Maybe they should just let him go?
10. #4 definetely not a Mossad plot
Get Real ,   UK   (03.03.13)

Hail - Still coming Darkness - Arrived with Morsi Number Ten - Well let's be nice!
12. This is good news for Rose Coloured Starlings
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (03.03.13)
...They will erupt to the South-West from Central Asia to deal with the locusts. Happy birding everyone!

zionist forever   (03.03.13)
I think the arab spring would be better described as an arab hail storm so we had that one. Number ten - give them time, they have already started killing each other.
14. Weird!
Billy H ,   Burlington, Canada   (03.03.13)
I didn't hear till now anyone claiming it's an Israeli conspiracy!! lol
15. Didn't I predict this? Wow - maybe I am psychic.
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (03.03.13)

18. Pesach comes early to Egypt
ik ,   USA   (03.03.13)
19. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.03.13)
Funnily enough, the locusts descended upon Egypt and Gaza. They bypassed Israel -- right next door -- with far more agricultural provender. Mysterious, to say the least. Wouldn't you agree?
20. Plague of locusts
Stanley Feist ,   Florida, U S A   (03.03.13)
I am not a committed true believer. However, the coincidence cannot be ignored. This may be a rerun of the first time when warnings were ignored until the ultimate pressure was used. I hope the Egyptians do not let the situation get that serious again.
21. locust
matt ,   usa   (03.04.13)
its like the Haggadah!!!
22. Haven't they ever heard of mosquito foggers in Egypt?
Zvi   (03.04.13)
23. Get out the nets.....
Buggy Man ,   NY NY   (03.04.13)
Locusts are a great source of protein....Two species are spoken of in Torah as being Kosher. I've heard some Morroccan Jews say that they looked forward to the Locust migrations...They would net them and make "sheepudim" (roast them) or grind them into Locust Kaftas. Considering what Locusts eat, they would probably taste good (herbivores). They are a bona fide food source in some countries in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America......

honey, in egypt as well as in any muslim and arab land, they have heard nothing since the 7th century. sad but true.

(03.05.13)
maybe it is so, sarah, because locust are attracted to stench. israel has no such stench if you know what i mean.
26. 23
(03.05.13)
you are correct, but israelis do not have the stomaches asians and south americans do.
27. Locus
Edouard ,   Canada   (03.05.13)
Nothing to do with god or pessah It is a natural infestation that happen at this time of the years every so often Nothing new Just us some DDT and no more locus No more miracal lol
28. Israel should be able to help.
Miron ,   USA   (03.05.13)
The planes, purchased in aftermath of Carmel fire, can be used to disperse locust defeating measures in the air.
