My guess is that someone thinks you can mix ammonia and various household
items to make a bomb,


Ah, but you can! I did it all the time when I was in high school.
Nitrogen triiodide is fun stuff. ;-)

but what I think happened is that someone who
can't read the Hebrew warnings on the bottle cleaned their toilet with
ammonia and clorox and they had to evacuate the whole neighborhood.


They don't believe in Darwin there either?

Now the most exotic toilet cleaner you can buy is something called
"hot water" (may cham) which is a mild dilution of hydrochloric acid. So mild,
I don't think it will cause skin burns.


Likely a good cleaner, though.
