Bovine Intervention: Twitter Laughs at Long-Debunked Story About Israel Training Cows to Spy

Twitchy

Sometimes, stories resurface on Twitter and we're really not sure why. But when they are funny, we just have to tell you about them. 

On Monday and Tuesday, a story that first came out a little over a year ago started making the rounds on Twitter and it was just too hilarious to resist. Last January, a Palestinian elder reported that Israel was 'recruiting and training' cattle -- yes, that's cows -- to spy on Palestinians.

The story was almost immediately debunked, even though Palestinian media tried to pass it off as some brilliant new Israeli spy tactic. 

A Palestinian village elder fabricated a story about Israeli livestock participating in spying activity, which the official Palestinian Authority daily news outlet Al-Hayat Al-Jadida published as reality, according to a report by Palestinian Media Watch.

'On the neck of each cow, they hang a medallion with an eavesdropping and recording device on it, and sometimes cameras, in order to monitor every detail' in the village, the elder said.

The P.A. daily further claimed that a Palestinian village elder spotted Israeli cows that are actually 'recruited and trained' spies.

Why was this story brought up again in March of 2024? We have no idea. We're just here for the laughs. 

And Twitter definitely delivered on the laughs.

The steaks are always high for the MOOssad. 

OK, before we go any further, we have to pause for a moment to point out the hilarious 'cow spy' clip from the classic 80s World War II spoof, 'Top Secret!' Because it's just too dead-on. 

OK, now back to Twitter. 

Well, there you have it. It's documented.

Cow puns. We're here for ALL the cow puns. 

Shapiro is quite the cow-median.

'Moosion: Impossible' jokes? Bring 'em on.

Come on. Would Palestinian media ever steer you wrong?

Hey, it's just a job. An udder day, an udder dollar.

People definitely had some fun with this one using A.I. image creators.

But nothing beats original artwork. That one's a moo-sterpiece. 

OK, let's not butcher the joke here. 

Just kidding, let's keep going. Because there's ALWAYS a Simpsons reference. 

Oof. Hey, he said it, not us. 

WE KNEW IT. 

And, it's not just cows that are part of Israel conspiracy theories. 

This is true. Iran once reported that they had captured -- and we are not joking here -- an Israeli robot dolphin equipped with espionage equipment. And that was back in 2015. 

In fact, there is no shortage of conspiracy theories about Israel when it comes to animals. In the same story about the cows, the Palestinian elder also claimed that Israel trained and released wild boars to trample Palestinian crops. 

There are so many of these stories, in fact, that Wikipedia has an entire page dedicated to Israel's control of the animal kingdom. Sharks, kestrels, rats, vultures, eagles ... Israel has animal agents everywhere.

But maybe, just maybe, there is a lesson in all these jokes for Western media. 

If the ridiculous spy-cow story does not make the media in America or Europe start to question their sources, nothing ever will.

We hope they can learn from this, and stop putting so much (live)stock into reports from Palestinian Authority- or Hamas-controlled media.
