-RetweetHate Like an Egyptian

Sun, Oct 10, 2004 at 9:07:35 am PDT

These are the people John Kerry wants to “engage more directly and more respectfully:” Israel To Benefit From Sinai Bombings: Experts. (Hat tip: Oki.)

CAIRO, October 9 (IslamOnline.net) — A cohort of Egyptian security, political and diplomatic experts have concluded that Israel is the only party to benefit from the blasts that rocked tourist resorts in the Egyptian Sinai peninsula on Thursday, October 7, ruling out any possible Egyptian involvement.

Former Egyptian Assistant Interior Minister Mohammad Omar Abdel-Fattah said that while analyzing any such operation security experts should always seek an answer to the basic question of who stands to benefit.

At least 38 people, mostly Israeli tourists, were confirmed dead after a series of bomb attacks rocked the Hilton hotel in the Red Sea resort of Taba and another attack at a backpacker resort in Nuweiba, further south.

“Israel is the only party to gain from this operation,” the international security expert told IslamOnline.net. He pointed out that the Israelis and their agents are the only people who have free access to the targeted area.

Abdel-Fattah said the booby-trapped vehicles used in the bombings do not carry the trademark of terrorist groups who usually resort to suicide bombers instead.

He stressed that the Israeli right has been cornered due to mounting pressures from the US on Israeli Premier Ariel Sharon after Washington had to wield its veto power to kill a resolution condemning Israel for the onslaught on the Gaza Strip. Israel needed something to dodge such American pressures and throw the ball at the American court till the end of the elections, said the expert.

Former Egyptian Assistant Foreign Minister Abdullah Al-Ashaal also agreed that several indications suggest an Israeli foul play. “Israel’s ultimate goal is to undermine Egypt’s regional role and force it on its knees,” he told IOL. “All indicators suggest an Israeli involvement, especially that the area is very close to the Israeli borders.”

Diaa Rashwan, an expert in the Islamic movements affairs in Al-Ahram Center for Strategic Studies, an Egyptian think-tank, also agreed that Al-Qaeda was not a likely culprit.

“Sinai bombings carry the trademark of careful planning which means those involved had a hand-on experience on the area, which is already under tight security.”

The expert suggested that “foreign intelligence” are directly or indirectly involved in such “dirty attacks.” Rashwan agreed with the other experts that Israel would be the only party to make gains from the attacks, especially that Israel would exploit them to associate itself with Washington in its so-called war on terror.

At least 38 people, mostly Israeli tourists,

Well this from Jpost
As searches through the heaps of rubble concluded Sunday afternoon, the final death toll in the two attacks was set at 33, Karadi said. Thirteen of the victims are Israeli, 6 Egyptian, and 14 are tourists from elsewhere around the world.

By the way why don't they mention the Israeli Arabs, including a 10 year old boy from Jaffa?

Also in the hotel was the wife and child of a British diplomat.

Nothing but Praise for Egyptians
18:00 Oct 10, '04 / 25 Tishrei 5765

(IsraelNN.com) At the opening of the weekly cabinet meeting this morning, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon used the press opportunity to make another public statement thanking and praising Egypt for its handling of the aftermath of the terrorist bomb attacks in Sinai.

Mr. Sharon’s statements during recent days in praise of Egyptian efforts are in direct contradiction to documented looting of dead victims and negative reports from rescue workers operating on the scene of the Taba Hilton Hotel.

Sounds like Israel failed Kerry's Global Test again. Shame on you Israel. Shame. Shame. Shame.

It failed to ask the U.N. whether it can murder its own civilians in order to gain political capital.

Let us see whether 70% of American Jews, who claim to be Jews by name only, without any regard to Israel's security, will fail the November 2 test and vote for the Global Test creator John Jane Kerry.

The real question is why Israelis are willing to give up places like the Golan Heights in return for a chilly "peace" with Syria... Egypt is supposedly a "moderest" Arab country... If its that cold in Egypt it would be a downright snowy "peace" in Syria.

Kishinev, April 9, 1903 — A cohort of Russian security, political and diplomatic experts have concluded that the Jews are the only party to benefit from the pogroms that rocked Kishinev and its environs in the Ukraine on April 7, ruling out any possible Russian involvement.

Interior Minister V. Plehve said that while analyzing any such operation security experts should always seek an answer to the basic question of who stands to benefit.

“The Jews are the only party to gain from this operation,” the international security expert told pravda.ru. He pointed out that the Jews will now use this as a pretext to move to America and Western Europe where they will succeed economically and spearhead the Zionist movement.

Egypt hotel bombers 'aided by woman suicide backpacker'

A female suicide bomber is believed to have taken part in the terrorist attack on the Red Sea hotel in which at least 31 people died, Israeli and Egyptian military officials said last night.

The woman, whose decapitated body was found at the back of the hotel, is thought to have been acting with two other suspected terrorists who rammed explosive-laden cars into the front of the Hilton hotel in the Sinai resort of Taba on Thursday night.

Gilad Shemesh, an Israeli army officer at the scene, told The Sunday Telegraph: "Our soldiers were shown a body by the Egyptians. It was a woman. Her head had been blown off.

"They said they were convinced she was a suicide bomber who had probably carried the explosives in a backpack."

An Israeli army captain with almost 20 years' experience of dealing with terrorist attacks pointed to the spot near the hotel's pool where the woman's body was found, along with several victims.

"It is impossible that those victims could have been killed by the two car-bomb blasts at the front of the hotel," he said. "It is clear to me that it was a suicide bomber - but the Egyptians don't want to talk about it officially."

Egypt impairing investigation of Taba bombing - ignored warnings

Israel Television Channel Two military correspondent Ronnie Daniel reported this evening that Avi Dichter, Head of the Israel Security Agency, (Shin Bet), recently visited Cairo to warn of the terror attack threat and that Egypt did nothing in response. "If Egypt had cooperated before the attack it might not have happened," Daniel noted.

From Rachel Neuwirth, a real eye opener.

A Closer Look at Egypt

Rachel Neuwirth does one hell of a good job outlining with undeniable facts the problem we have with Egypt. I agree with 'almost' every word in her essay. When it comes to appeasement of Egypt we have seen a fair amount on all sides of the political spectrum. It is now a matter of what we are going to do about it and the demands we must insist of our elected officials.

For all the complaning and harsh condemnation concerning the money Israel is given by the U.S., the fact is completely ignored that Israel gives back ten fold. To make matters worse, the money often times is used as leverage for Israel to tow the mark. For all the money we give Egypt, Egypt gives nothing back.

Time we ask why and then do something about it. To continue the illusion that Egypt is our friend will in the end hurt us more than help us.

...so like the EgyptAir Flight that went down without a squawk, this will get swept under the rug as being the fault of the Jooosss! Morons! The Egyptians and other's of the Islamic persuasion are not going to find anything else. What the investigators must do is ignore all that B.S. and pick up as many clues from the type of explosives and other signature giveaways within the blast sites ass possible. So far I've heard that the explosive was trace to Iran and that it was the same substance that was used in the Khobar Towers bombing? Correct me people if I'm wrong but that's what I heard last week.

That's the kind of information, that as long as the skeleton facts of the bombings is kept true and free of politics, then the origins and possibly even who is responsible can be traced. As far as 'fairness'--it happened in an Arab country and was probably built and detonated by other Arabs. Nothing is going to give you a 'fair' verdict in the politics of the thing, because we're dealing with Arabs and Islamists. It's written right in their Q'ran that it's okay to lie to the kafir when it's necessary to do so. So don't expect the truth from them. Find the truth about the explosion ourselves and be content with that ammunition for the next time.

Egypt is a third world country when it could have been more. Tourism is their biggest business but if they don't wise up, soon they will not even have that to lean on.

37 daver  Sun, Oct 10, 2004 7:42:18am

So Israel, who goes to great lengths to gather all body parts possible of bombing victims in order to assure a proper burial, and expends vast resources to make sure that no one of their military gets left behind, has now resorted to bombing their own people?

Are Arabs so warped that they assume that all societies, regardless of their level of development, hold their own people in as much disregard as they do? Who do the Egyptians think, other than other Arabs and those of their ilk, will buy this crap?

Amazing.

Our friends the Egyptians

Mubarak has been no better on the cultural and diplomatic front. The government-controlled Egyptian press is replete with anti-Semitic imagery and anti-Israel incitement, with the current showing of a 41-part television series based on the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion the latest example. And Mubarak was only too happy to host the recent terrorist summit in Cairo, where he invited Hamas and Fatah to discuss which Israelis would be considered legitimate targets for Palestinian attacks.

This pattern of behavior would perhaps seem somewhat less impertinent were it not for the fact that Egypt is the second-largest recipient of US foreign aid to the tune of $2.1 billion annually. But just as Americans have begun to wonder of late about the true nature of "our Saudi friends," they might do well to begin thinking along the same lines about "our Egyptian friends." After all, what is all that money actually getting them?

Mubarak and his aides have repeatedly come out against a possible American strike on Iraq. Cairo not only has failed to encourage Arafat to end terrorism, but Egyptian imams are allowed to openly advocate suicide attacks. Shortly after the first woman suicide bomber blew herself up in the center of Jerusalem, killing one man and wounding 175 people, a concert was held in Cairo in the bomber's honor.

41 Amos (Zionist Minion)  Sun, Oct 10, 2004 7:47:45am

No, no, people, don't you see? The Egyptian security types (and minister) claim that only a party that has unlimited access to the area can be held responsible. The only party that had such access is the Egyptian security apparatus itself! They are telling us, without actually using the words, that the Egyptians themselves have conspired with al-Qaeda to blow up this hotel!

/sarcasm (but may be proven right yet)

42 QueenEsther  Sun, Oct 10, 2004 7:49:13am
He pointed out that the Israelis and their agents are the only people who have free access to the targeted area.

Bullcrap.

Jerusalem Post

Separate Zaka (Disaster Victims Identification) sources at the Taba disaster zone complained early Friday afternoon that the Egyptians had piled corpses from the Taba bombing at a tiny, un-refrigerated clinic a kilometer south of the hotel. Eitan Ohayon, of the Jerusalem Zaka branch, said he "saw 20 bodies piled up on the floor of the clinic at Taba. The Egyptians would not let us touch the bodies, and judging by the smell, they were beginning to rot in the heat."

Sami Ohayon (no relation), commander and operations chief of Eilat's Fire and Rescue Services, even charged that "the Egyptians were stealing the bodies. Guards with Kalashnikovs were guarding them and not letting us get anywhere to check if they are ours [Israeli]."

Rescue workers from Eilat and Zaka accused locals of looting the hotel stores and guest rooms throughout the night and the early part of Friday morning. "I saw them swipe all they could from the Hilton's stores," said one official early Friday morning. Later on Friday, Zaka officials said unidentified men, whom they believed to be Egyptian, began to systematically go through the rooms. The accusations could not be confirmed. Hundreds of tourists abandoned most of their possessions in their flight from the burning hotel.

Unfortunately it was the Egyptian border crossing personnel's very officiousness which Israeli rescue workers cite as the possible cause of several deaths. In the pandemonium immediately following the bombing, bewildered Egyptian officials barely loosened the border-crossing regulations. They allowed only a trickle of Eilat rescue workers into Taba, along with one ambulance, to shuttle the wounded from the hotel to the border crossing 200 meters north.

Hundreds of reservists from the Home Front's Search and Rescue team, airlifted to Eilat, waited fruitlessly at the border for Egypt to allow uniformed Israeli troops onto Egyptian soil for the first time since Israel relinquished Taba in 1988. They only got in early on Friday morning, and only toward late afternoon on Friday did the Egyptians allow heavy equipment to cross the border.

If Israel 'benefits' too much more from terrorism, the whole nation will be dead or walk with a limp, while learning to do things with one hand.

46 Condor  Sun, Oct 10, 2004 8:36:15am

This is typical of an arab "shame" culture, in which it is more important to fix the blame for something on someone else, than to find out the truth. So it will be essential for Egypt to show that Egypt (and its security services) did nothing wrong, but that it was the Jews/Mossad/Americans/British or someone else who really did the dirty work; Egyptians are spotless.
But it is this attitude (throughout the arab world) which results in the fact that problems in these countries are never faced or analyzed, but only swept under the rug. And hence, no changes are made, no progress is made, and today the arab culture exceeds all others in the ability to manufacture excuses and to deceive itself about the nature of what goes on in the world. It would rather live in a fable
("wicked Jews and the Protocols") than have to admit that maybe some of the fault for their backwardness lies with themselves (and their religion).

Egypt: Bedouin Admits to Explosives Sale

I'm still not buying it.

The tribesman said the buyers, whom he couldn't identify, had told him the explosives would be used in the Palestinian territories, an Egyptian investigator told The Associated Press.

"The explosives were sold on the assumption that they were going to the Palestinians," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Like that makes it okay. Dear G-d.

Three car bombs exploded Thursday night, one at the Taba Hilton just south of the Egypt-Israel border and two at a town of beach bungalows, Ras Shitan, 35 miles to the south on the Red Sea coast.

They're leaving out that there was also someone shooting at people and, of course, that there was a female suicide bomber there too.

Al-Qaida terrorist network heads the list of suspected terror organizations responsible for the simultaneous attacks. According to a report in London's Sunday Times, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has directed the Mossad to look into links between Palestinian terror organizations and al-Qaida as a priority in its investigations of the brutal bombings.
"Al-Qaida network hit this time in our back yard. If we don't focus our efforts against al-Qaida, next time they will hit Tel-Aviv," the Sunday Times quoted a senior Israeli security official. "We cannot ignore them anymore."

The Egyptian official/analyst must be confusing Israel with other middle eastern countries.

Israel does not butcher its citizens in machiavellian schemes.

It is an interesting perspective the egyptians show us, however. Every insanity that the arabs manifest in their words and actions can be blamed on the jews, because those very same actions make the arabs look like idiots, animals, or idotic animals, and when they look like idiots, the jews benefit. Therefore,

while analyzing any such operation security experts should always seek an answer to the basic question of who stands to benefit.

I think this 'think tank' is running on fumes.

Unfortunately the MSM are only interested in this stuff the NYT published

Michael Tarazi, an American lawyer and advisor for the PLO, received op-ed space in the NY Times

And this after all Arafat has done to the Christians communities and attempted to destroy the History of the Temple at the time of Christ they publish:

' and thinks it possible to create a multicultural utopia west of the Jordan:

The one-state solution, however, neither destroys the Jewish character of the Holy Land nor negates the Jewish historical and religious attachment (although it would destroy the superior status of Jews in that state). Rather, it affirms that the Holy Land has an equal Christian and Muslim character.

To get out what is actually happening will mean changing "Ratherland".

That particular Hilton was built by an Israeli businessman and was sold to Arab concerns (then Hilton) when the land became part of Egypt. It is situated only a short distance from the Egypt/Israel border, like down the block from Israel and many vacation there to take advantage of the food, casino resort atmosphere, especially at holiday times. It was like 'going home' for some of us ...

Guess a black jack dealer was one card shy of a deck and somebody didn't like it. That's about as good an excuse for this bombing as the Egyptians are putting out now.

I'm beyond rage at this continued murdering of not only my people, family and friends but of all the people who happen to be around at any given time and place when one of these jerk-off outfits desides to explode. It's time somebody did something besides appeasing these fanatical beasts. Arrggghh!

Begin said that when goyim kill goyim the
Jews get blamed. I guess when goyim
kill Jews - and other goyim - the Jews
STILL get blamed.

I think I understand why Israel doesn't
bother trying to court world opinion on
to its side. That would be an impossible
task with idiots like this Egyptian 'security'
export spinning his crap. And the LLL is,
I'm sure, buying it all.

I hadn't seen that last article, and it's very interesting. Thank you.

I wonder how long the US will continue to fund the UNRWA now that it knows most of its employees are actually terrorists?

After reading that I can't understand for the life of me why anyone funds the UNRWA... it's time for this outdated UN institution to be dismatled and put in the archives of history...

Let the Palestinians live under UNHCR like other refugees... otherwise let the Arab states take them in.

Basically, to please the Arabs... funding the terrorists in a deniable way. Now, however, it is not deniable any more.

Let the Palestinians live under UNHCR like other refugees...

By UNHCR rules, there are no 'Balestinian' refugees.

otherwise let the Arab states take them in.

What? And dismantle their terrorist proxy? How are the supposed to fight Zionism if they can't use terrorism?

LOL - how many Arab states really accept Israel's existence?

The Palestinians have homes in every Arab state, and not only will they be better funded, but they'll be comfortable too... although the big political pawn of these "poor refugees" will then dissolve...

Right now, it's an embarrassment to the rest of the world to have the Palestinians of the UNRWA demanding their rights as terrorists, which also means that Eurabia and the other countries who would like the demise of Israel, are now totally exposed as to their real motives...

it's just that Egypt is the cradle of civilization
No, the cradle of civilization is Mesopotamia, now in Iraq. Egypt is the toilet.

If Iraq is the cradle of civilization, then the cradle must have tipped over and spilled the baby out. The baby landed on its head and is now one very, very distrubed adult.

Two - Egypt and Jordan. But how many Arab states accept Israel's existence as a Jewish state? None.

The Palestinians have homes in every Arab state, and not only will they be better funded, but they'll be comfortable too... although the big political pawn of these "poor refugees" will then dissolve...

Actually, Arabs everywhere despise 'Balestinians'. They are not welcome anywhere in the Arab world, not even in Jordan by the Beduins.

Right now, it's an embarrassment to the rest of the world to have the Palestinians of the UNRWA demanding their rights as terrorists, which also means that Eurabia and the other countries who would like the demise of Israel, are now totally exposed as to their real motives...

Now, that's a good thing, right? Funding the UNRWA is funding terrorism, and it is not deniable any more. Somehow, though, I do not expect that any country will stop funding the UNRWA - not even the US.

75% of Jordanians are Palestinian... they have their own state!

And as for the rest of the world funding Palestinians so they can murder Jews? That's nothing new - and yes, it will continue, despite the denials of people like Chris (I love Arabs) Patten!

Nobody wants the Palestinians. They know what trouble-makers they are. They're Jordanians and Jordan won't even have them! Why the Jews had to be lumped with them, I don't know.

Oops, should have refreshed the page before I posted :-)

75 Nannette  Sun, Oct 10, 2004 2:45:35pm

The Arabs know what troublemakers they are but they still get invited to Syria, Lebanon, etc...

...where they are parked in camps, refused equal rights (not that there were many rights in those countries in the first place...), brainwashed and trained as attack dogs for their 'Arab brothers'...

77 Nannette  Sun, Oct 10, 2004 2:55:42pm

"Attack dogs" is right Mr. Pol - and they don't know any better... they've been bred for terrorism and it's a big part of their education and their sole raison d'etre!

"A cohort of Egyptian security, political and diplomatic experts" said it's all the fault of the Jews, they did the terrorism to themselves.
It's no longer possible to parody the antisemitic and judeophobic thinking of the Arab and Muslim world. They provide their own parody, and the actual happenings in the Arab and Muslim world are about as strange as anything one could devise in a parody.

79 Tiburon  Sun, Oct 10, 2004 4:11:00pm

Hmmm...! Now now, folks, perhaps our Egyptian intelligence experts do have a point...

To further general regional stability and spare our Peace Partners any possible further embarassment, lets just take Sinai off their hands.

As to why Jews are specifically burdened with the world's only "professional refugees", the palis (other than our own extraterrestrial stupidity, of course), I was addressing this in correspondence the other day with a borderline moonbat very old friend of mine, and attempted to distill a viewpoint espoused by Barry Chamish, and certain other 'conspiracy theorists': -

The powers-that-be have decided that emergence of an entity that confirms the viability and veracity of a pan-historical transcendent nationalism is a mortal threat to their Plan for World Domination.
It would serve as a validation for every other ethnic national imperative on the planet, and end their quest to convert the world's peoples to one great corporately controlled entity. For this reason, they must destroy any vestige of transcendent connection between the People and the Land, and to this end they have bent their will, and their fathomless earthly powers, for hundreds of years. They'll not rest till Jerusalem is again divided, or internationalized, and all signs of religious connection and purpose have been purged from the body politic of Israel. To this end they have obtained to those of like mind in Israel, in whose hands they place the temporal power of rulership of the Land.

I'll reserve personal opinion for the time being, but this I wrote above, is I hope close to Chamish's positions.

Only minds that don't value life, are accustomed to conspiracy as a way of life and see the benefits of terrorism could come up with such a load of crap.

Such vile despicable oral vomit is to be expected from Egyptian political and religious leaders. The horrible part is that millions of demented paranoid conspiracy-enabled Muslims will believe it. From childhood they are taught by the Koran not to question anything. That is the true "no hope" which envelopes Islam in an abyss of failure, jealousy, and hate.

84 DannyK  Mon, Oct 11, 2004 9:53:06am

WHO KNOWS?

1) There was the Lavon Affair.
2) Mossad -- "war by deception" is their motto.
3) Mossad got busted trying to bomb the Mexican congress! look it up.

Israel is not honest either. Not even close.

You have it wrong concerning which is the death cult. The Islamists boast that they love death while the Jews love life. And it is true that the Jews love life.

You are circulating the notion that the Israelis massacred their own, because you are infected with the same antisemitism and judeophobia that infects the Arab world and the Muslim world.

I see no difference at all between you and the demented Jew-haters of the Arab and Muslim world. You are part of that psychotic demented group, susceptible to believing any evil thing at all about the Jews, the sons of monkeys and pigs.

It's a shame that you don't know how stupid you sound when you are out of your circle of radical antisemites.
