In which the discussion on Lebanese TV reaches new levels of idiocy:

"The [Israeli] army has been depleted, and they need [new] active forces. Would you believe it that in the year 2000…  A friend who used to live in Brazil has told me that in Brazil, as you know, there are three phenomena the country is based on – football, drugs, and illicit sexual relations.

"As a result of all those illicit relations, many babies would be born, and they would dump them at the beach in Rio de Janeiro. My friend told me that the Jewish Agency would collect those children, and once a month, a plane would take off from Brazil to Tel Aviv… That was in 2000. These planes would carry on board children aged between five days and a year….

"They take them and raise them as Jews, even though they are not Jews. So the rabbis went up in arms, and said one cannot turn a non-Jew into a Jew. But the military establishment told them: 'Shut up! Israel’s security trumps any other consideration. We need soldiers!'"
