Oh well, so much for this just being an Egyptian plague. Where’s Moses when you need him?

YWN – A swarm of locusts in Egypt has crossed the border into Israel on Monday 22 Adar 5773. The swarm is described as “small” and crop dusting planes and other means were deployed rapidly to attack the unwanted visitors before the situation deteriorates to the magnitude of the Egyptian infestation.

Farmer Tzachi Rimon told Channel 10 News that while the locusts may not have ruined Pharaoh, “they can definitely ruin us”, explaining they are carefully monitoring the situation, which experts explain is very much dependent on wind direction and strength.

If these locusts were dollar bills Obama would have spent them up before breakfast.

What timing coincidence!!! The most-watched cable program in TV history is just out ("The Bible") and one of Moses' plagues just happens in Egypt at the same time! Do you think God is telling us something?

They have locusts we have illegals. Either way they're pesky

Actually, they are all going to land at the closest airstrip, get refitted with tiny little cluster bombs, and sent back into Egypt. The ultimate drone attack.

Gotta love that Israeli ingenuity. :)

Yes, where is Moses indeed!

Some more plagues visited upon Egypt would be helpful to get rid of Morsi et al ...

Yep.

Doesn't the Plague of Locusts arrive before the Plague of Darkness??

So the last swarm in 1988 was a dress rehearsal? j/k

Just think of all the available protein! Fry those babies up and coat in chocolate. :)

They need a tiny Patriot Missile system with a huge magazine of locust missiles. Each one about 2 centimeters long.

Zig, zag, zing...tiny kaboomie!

Repeat as needed.

Oy Vey. I was really hoping they'd stop right at the border. That would have given a lot of people something to meditate on.

Same here, what a visual that would have been.

Well, I guess it beats having Egyptians swarm over your border!
