Now I get it.

It is amazing what you can run across on the internet. Below is a summary of a charge by some loony group that Jews who practice a strange ritual whereby a chicken is waved 7 times over the head of a person in preparation for Yom Kippur are responsible for bird flu and other catastrophies.

A representative of a shadowy group calling itself the Chicken Liberation Organization has accused orthodox Jews of responsibility for the aviary flu, which experts believe may become a global pandemic threatening the lives of millions.

The CLO representative, C. Little, has warned that any outbreak of the disease will be the direct result of what he called Jewish responsibility for "atmospheric lowering," a little-understood phenomenon by which the sky appears to be falling, causing migratory birds to descend precipitously and collide with stationary objects, greatly increasing the risk of a 9/11 style crash into skyscrapers and resulting infection of the people inside.

An allied group representing oppressed turkeys, T. Lurkey, supported Little's claims, and said that the Jewish role in the celestial descent was unquestionable. "For years, these people have been spinning chickens around their heads in some reactionary ritual, in the vain hope that doing so would somehow expiate their sins. But in so doing they have created a far greater sin."
