Swine flu not kosher in Israel

JERUSALEM (Reuters) -

<span style="font-weight: bold">Swine flu? Not in the Jewish state.</span>

&quot;<span style="font-weight: bold">We will call it Mexico flu</span>. <span style="font-style: italic">We won't call it swine flu,</span>&quot; Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman, a black-garbed Orthodox Jew, told a news conference Monday, assuring the Israeli public that authorities were prepared to handle any cases.

Under Jewish dietary laws, pigs are considered unclean and pork is forbidden food -- although the non-kosher meat is available in some stores in Israel.
