Israel To Join CERN As First Non-European Member

Posted by samzenpus on from the join-the-party dept.

First time accepted submitter WorldPiece writes "More accurately, first non-European full member. This comes with some opposition from groups pushing to boycott Israel academia in response to the Israeli government's policies. 'It is a vital part of our mission to build bridges between nations. This agreement enriches us scientifically and is an important step in that direction,' CERN's Director General Rolf Heuer, a German physicist, told the signing ceremony."

    Clearly he's been drinking too much fluoridated water and has contaminated his precious bodily fluids. Also, he's probably suffering from multiple subluxations. In his weakened condition, I'm afraid he'll be an easy target for a Mossad or Freemason execution squad.

    Hopefully if the other CERN scientists visit Israel by ship, Israel won't have commandos rappel onto the boat and begin machine-gunning the passengers.
