re: #61 BigPapa

I don’t know why it would matter. Fucking rapists happen to be rabid anti-semites: dog bites man.

Not to diminish antisemitism, but why is this of any real relevance?

There were reports from Alexandria, starting around Jan. 28, I think, that the crowds were being told that all the journalists, no matter where they were from, were Israeli spies and/or Jews.

I hope the majority of Egyptians realize that they were taught antisemitism so that it could be used as a tool against themselves. Journalists were the best friends to would-be revolutionaries at that point, and if the guys in power could get the masses to turn on the journalists, what a victory for the fascists.

Whether that was any part of this attack is irrelevant, in my opinion. It would be another example of antisemitism being incidental to the events, if true, and incidental to the reports, if untrue.
