In other developments, the army decided to change the military code name for the Gaza withdrawal, to avoid offending religious Jews. The name initially chosen was “heavenly splendor,” a phrase used in a Jewish prayer recited at funerals, a security official said. No new name has been chosen, but the Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot said “stepping stones” was being considered.
Seems like a good call overall. I would also add that God might be offended also.
Update: Other rejected code names include "Adventures in Unilateral Disengagement," "The Fence and Forget Project," "Visions for a more integrated middle east," "Scorpion Jar" and "Hamasland."
