Cutting edge scholarship at Jihad Watch

Robert Spencer included the following on his blog:

Algeria closes 900 mosques and Muslim prayer halls because jihad terrorists used them for meetings

Here Spencer demonstrates his intellectual shallowness and I think it’s worth examining a little.

Robert Spencer has no knowledge of Algeria or its politics.  If he did, he would know that the Algerian government is a dictatorship that runs a torture state.  Levels of corruption in Algeria are so high that this wealthy country languishes in nearly society-wide poverty while the elite enriches itself.

If these mosques were indeed closed, it stands to reason that they were being used not by ‘Jihad terrorists’ (Spencer forgets to use the word ‘alleged’) but by agitators for reform and democracy.

The article that Spencer links to provides no evidence whatsoever as to the activities of what Spencer terms ‘jihad terrorists’.  As a matter of fact, the article itself does not use this term.  It says

The Algerian government last week closed around 900 mosques and prayer halls throughout the country because it says they were used for meetings by suspected Islamic terrorists, Algerian newspaper El-Khabar reported on Monday.

One would wonder why an American like Robert Spencer would place so much trust in the words of a dictatorship that is in no meaningful sense better than that of the late Col. Gaddafi.

I raised these points in an email I wrote to Mr Spencer – champion of freedom of speech and debate – and enquired on what basis he places such high value on the claims of the Algerian torture state.

I’m not holding my breath for a response since Spencer is a coward who will not answer for the claims he makes on his blog.

Below is the email I sent.  Readers may like to paste it into an email of their own and send it to him using the following address:

director@jihadwatch.org

Perhaps he will answer if enough people ask the right questions?

____________________________________________________________________

Dear Mr Spencer

On your blog today you include an article from a news website under the title “Algeria closes 900 mosques and Muslim prayer halls because jihad terrorists used them for meetings”.  You then go on to speculate as to why, if the Algerian government can do such a thing, the American government does not pursue similar policies.

Did it not occur to you that Algeria is a blood-soaked dictatorship that runs a torture state?  Did it not occur to you that the Algerian government could be lying?  What if, for example, people in these mosques and prayer halls were discussing the massive and staggering levels of corruption in the Algerian government that plunge the people into poverty and spiraling unemployment?

If you had any knowledge of the basics of Algerian politics and opposition movements, you would know that corruption and oppression are at the top of the agenda for anti-government movements in Algeria.

On what basis do you so uncritically believe the announcements of a corrupt dictator like Bouteflika?

Does this represent the ‘cutting edge scholarship’ which you claim characterises your blog?

Kind regards

Omar Shtewi BA, MSc

Gaddafi’s Death

The dictator is dead.  The Libyan people have endured 42 years of degradation at the hands of a monster.  Torture.  Disappearances.  The theft if billions of dollars of the national wealth to fund the extravagant lifestyle of the Gaddafi family.

No doubt, Tripoli and Benghazi will ring loud with celebration well into the night.  But in the morning, the Libyan people will have much to consider.

We had him. Then we lost him.

Was it right to kill Gaddafi?  In so doing, have the Libyan people, in effect, snatched defeat from the jaws of victory?  Many will argue that Gaddafi’s bloody demise is just.  But where is the justice for the thousands of victims of his decades-long rule?  The mothers yet to know where their long-dead sons are buried?  Fathers, brothers, sisters lost in the literal oblivion of secret mass-graves who may never be found?

Gaddafi can be seen here alive and on his feet. Who killed him and why? Who gave that person - or persons - the right to deprive the Libyan people of the truth?

No doubt many powerful people around the world will breathe a sigh of relief that the butcher is dead.  His patrons in the US, Britain and other countries will sleep easy knowing that Gaddafi will take their secrets to his grave.  Along with the numbered accounts where he has stashed the wealth of the Libyan people.

Libya should hope for an investigation into what can only justly be described as an extra-judicial killing.  They should hope that the Gaddafi era will be pored over by lawyers and accountants for decades to come so that the Libyan people can experience the true catharsis that only the full outing of the truth can provide.

An investigation is needed. Where are our answers?

Until such investigations start, I share an element of relief with my fellow Libyans.  I also look suspiciously to the future and hope that the Libya that emerges from the ashes of the tyrant’s rule will be characterised by immense prosperity, peace, unity and strength and that any vultures circling that fabulously wealthy country will be shot down before they can turn it into Saudi Arabia.

The Arab Spring: When will Morocco catch up?

The Arab Spring happened for the following reasons:

  • Arab people are tortured by their governments when they oppose them.  See Syria and the rest
  • Arab countries are rich but the people live in absolute poverty, existing at the bottom of every human development indicator
  • Arab dictators live in a style that would embarrass Louis XIV
  • Arab dictators do this with the support of foreign governments – See Saudi Arabia and the rest
  • Arab dictators funnel money from the public purse to foreign corporations, creating jobs and opportunities for foreign countries thus ensuring that Arab people remain poor so that no viable middle class develops.  Democracy is sustained by a viable middle class

Nowhere is this clearer than in the horrifying country of Morocco.  It is a country that I know well.  I lived there.  I know that Moroccan people subsist day-to-day on the bare minimum of money.  I know that every young Moroccan man and woman is fully aware that they will amount to nothing.  They know that they will never earn a dignified living, regardless of their education.

Moroccan people know that this is because the King of Morocco, Muhammad VI, owns the entire country.  That is to say that there is no entrepreneurial activity in Morocco at any meaningful level without bribes being paid directly to the palace.

The king of Morocco owns the tourism industry.  He facilitates a massive sex tourism industry where local boys and young men are sexually abused by foreign men – mostly from France, Germany and the Netherlands.  The site of handsome young men walking the streets arm-in-arm with elderly white men is very common is cities like Marrakesh.  It certainly isn’t true love.  There are barely any prosecutions in Morocco for paedophilia.  It is discreetly encouraged by the government.  The government also facilitates the transfer of Moroccan women abroad where they work as prostitutes servicing Europeans (who take all the jobs) in cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh and Jeddah.

The king of Morocco monopolises ALL industries that have any value whatsoever.  He owns the entire dairy industry.  He owns the tobacco industry and, of course, he owns ALL the natural resources of Morocco, ensuring that they are exploited by foreigners and that all proceeds are shipped abroad.  Moroccans live like dogs.

His wife is the vindictive and wicked scorpion Lalla Salma (Lalla means lady in Moroccan Arabic, though I think that’s an abuse of the Arabic language too far).

Lalla Salma, in what I can only guess was a calculated insult to the Moroccan people, recently gifted an obscenely expensive item of jewelry (presumably worth more than any Moroccan earns in a lifetime) to the Arab-killer of Israel Tzipora ‘Tzipi’ Livni during an official visit by her.  It should be noted that the Moroccan monarchy is an enthusiastic supporter of Israel and is silent when the Jewish State engages in its frequent mass-slaughters of Arabs and other Muslims.

I mention all of this because I think it provides important background to the following story being reported today on Al Arabiya.

The most important element of the Moroccan monarchy’s survival is the support that it gains from the French government.  Morocco was a French colony and French corporations, in collusion with the king, extract all wealth from the country to this very day, rendering Morocco’s ‘independence’ nothing more than a sick joke.

It has been announced that a French corporation will build a high-speed rail network in Morocco linking three squalid Moroccan cities:

The two countries signed an agreement four years ago to build a high-speed train network to link Casablanca, Morocco’s economic capital, with Rabat and Tangiers at a cost of 33 billion Moroccan dirhams ($4 billion).

The idea, incidentally, that Casablanca is ‘Morocco’s economic capital’ is an outright lie.  There is no economic capital of Morocco.  There is, in fact, no economy at all.  The entire country is a cash-cow for France and the Moroccan king who functions more like a viceroy representing a colonial metropole.

So that we’re clear about who will derive benefit from the lucrative contracts and jobs from this obscene project – which the peasants of Morocco are forced, cruelly, to witness while they worry about where their next loaf of bread is coming from – we are reminded that:

 The 2007 agreement allows French firms, including power and transport engineering group Alstom SA , to design, build, operate and maintain the high-speed rail link, known as TGV in France

So.  Even when the project is finished and the fee – charged to the Moroccan people – is safely in Paris bank accounts, the maintenance work, which will no doubt go on forever, will be done by French companies.  That is to say that the Moroccan people will be paying for this grotesque project for generations.

My favourite part is this, which is scarcely worse than the Sarkozy literally spitting in the face of every Moroccan man, woman and child:

 “The French should know that the Moroccan TGV is work for the French. It is worth thousands of hours of work,” said Sarkozy.

Wow.

As a side note, it is highly doubtful that any Moroccan will actually be able to afford a ticket for this fabulous train.  It is, in all likelihood, a massive project designed to make the lives of foreigners in the country easier.

Morocco is essentially a country under foreign occupation: wealthy Europeans retire there and buy homes, driving up the prices so that no Moroccan will ever own a house.  While there, taking in the scenery of Marrakesh and Fez, they enjoy an unlimited supply of young boys and girls.  The train will make their trips between cities easier.

The day that Morocco rises against its monarchy, burns its palaces to the ground and nationalises this railway will be the happiest day of my life.

May the country burn from north to south.

The Egyptian People Stand Up

Power to these people...

 

You know good things are happening in the Arab world when Pamela Geller and the goons at Jihad Watch (Marisol Seibold this time – see an example of her work here) collapse into psychotic episodes of mindless ramblings about the coming Islamo-Fascist apocalypse.

Al Jazeera reports that Egyptian citizens have torn down part of the recently-erected wall that surrounds the Israeli embassy in Cairo, breaking in to the building and throwing documents out of the windows.

 Israel’s embassy in Cairo has been stormed by protesters who tore down one of the outer embassy walls and threw thousands of documents from the embassy’s windows.

The angry Egyptians also replaced the neighbouring country’s flag with their own after breaking in on Friday night.

In response, the Egyptian prime minister summoned the cabinet crisis team to discuss the situation, and the interior ministry declared a state of alert late on Friday night.

The group that swarmed the embassy had left a mass rally at nearbyTahrir Square, where organised protesters called for reforms by the military, which now governsEgypt.

“Thousands of documents were being thrown out of the windows, but it’s unclear which floor they were coming from,” our correspondent Sherine Tadros said.

“Indications are that it’s pretty much a chaotic situation. Protesters set on fire two police vehicles.”

What is happening here, dear reader, is that for decades under the despotic and humiliating rule of the latter-day Pharaoh Mubarak, the Egyptian people now have a chance to express their anger at the disgraceful infringement on the sovereignty of their state that is popularly known as the ‘peace’ treaty with Israel.  Additionally, they now have the opportunity to express their anger at Israel’s continuing degradation of the Palestinian people.  I applaud the Arabs of Egypt.  They demand dignity and indeed they shall have it.

Some, though, struggle with the idea of Arab (or wider Muslim) empowerment.  They try to misrepresent it as some sort of savagery in blithe disregard of the fact that the primary savages in the Middle East are those who march under the flag of Israel and commit war crimes in Gaza and aboard the Mavi Marmara.

Geller blogs about the embassy incident under the heading

EGYPT: BLOODTHIRSTY MUSLIMS TEAR DOWN WALL PROTECTING ISRAEL EMBASSY IN CAIRO

Geller is correct about very little, but it is true that Egypt is a majority-Muslim country.  The relevance of this is not immediately clear to me, though.  However, since Geller has made a career of attacking all Muslims everywhere whether or not their faith is relevant, this bizarre headline comes as no surprise to me.

In addition, it is her style, so to speak, to cast any attack on Israel or its interests as a racist attack against all Jews everywhere.  And so, we have this from the armchair Likudnik safely ensconced in her New York condo:

The free world stands at the precipice of catastrophic consquence [sic, sic and sic again!].

Here again the reality of Obama’s pro-Muslim Brotherhood foreign policy bears rancid, poisonous fruit.  On Tuesday, the Obama supported Islamic Spring [what?] necessitated the building of a wall around the Israeli embassy in Cairo as the cries for Jewish blood [what?] rose among the newly empowered Islamic supremacist annihilationists [what, what and what?]. The Muslim Brotherhood coup [what?] sanctioned and supported by the Obama administration has led to direct rocket attacks on Israel from Egypt (for the first time in the now fragile 30 year peace.)

The wall had been painted withEgypt’s national colors: black, white and red [good for them].

Pamela Geller is the only person who calls the Arab Spring the Islamic Spring.  As far as she is concerned, there is no such thing as an Arab.  They have no political mind.  No concept of their own suffering.  They are simply religious zealots.

Also, see her reference to cries for Jewish blood.  I don’t think so.  If they were crying for Jewish blood, they could extract it quite easily from the Israeli tourists who are to be found in the resorts of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.  Their safety is testament to the civility of the Egyptian people – they do not blame the average Jew for the Israeli state’s wild behaviour.  Bad luck, Pam.

I surely don’t need to belabour the obvious in regard to the through-the-looking-glass reference to newly empowered Islamic supremacist annihilationists.

I DO take issue, however, with the outlandish notion that the Egyptian Revolution that ousted a blood-soaked despot was somehow a Muslim Brotherhood coup.  The Muslim Brotherhood is not the government of Egypt.  It is a political party and it is not even in government.  The Egyptian army rules the country in a transition period – so they say – that will lead to elections.

The fact that Pamela Geller knows nothing about anything is obvious to anyone.  The danger, of course, is that many Americans take her seriously.  She is invited on to news programmes where she peddles her incredible fictions to the semi-conscious American masses.  She publishes books.  People buy them.

Over at Jihad Watch, courtesy of the liar Marisol Seibold, we have this:

These attacks are a rehearsal and a testing of the waters for an attempt at a full-blown re-enactment of the seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran. That is the eventuality the Israelis there face if Egyptian authorities continue let the protesters do as they please. Alternatively, the embassy may close, at which point it is equally likely to be overrun.

I’m not even going to bother.

Who needs books and actual information when you have the right-ring Transatlantic bloggers stirring the pot like crazed witches?

Huda ben Amar – The Bitch of Benghazi apprehended

Huda ben Amar, according to Libya’s new authorities, has been captured.  If this is true, it represents an outstanding chance for the Libyan people to achieve justice and closure, following 42 years of the most brutal oppression imaginable.

Huda el Shannagah - Huda the Hangwoman, as she was known in Libya

Ben Amar made her name and her fortune in 1984 in the city of Benghazi.

At the basketball stadium in the centre of town, a show trial was held for a young Libyan man – El Sadek Hamad el Shuwehdi.

Recently returned from the United States, where he had completed a degree in engineering, the young man, who was 30 years old at the time of his execution, was horrified with the situation in Libya.  He organised a  group of young Libyans dedicated to peaceful protest.  He was was arrested in the early hours of the morning and, months later, taken to the basketball stadium in Benghazi where he was tried by Gaddafi’s so-called ‘Revolutionaries’.

On his knees before a microphone, el Shuwehdi was forced to confess to ‘terrorist’ activities.  Judgement was swift – guilty.  El Shuwehdi was sentenced to be hanged until dead there and then.

The crowd – mostly children and young people gathered for a lesson on the price of defying the regime – gasped, wept and cried out for God’s intervention.

But it was ben Amar who stole the show.  When the young man’s legs were still seen to be moving, the Bitch of Benghazi grabbed his legs and pulled him downward, so as to tighten the noose.  As Al Arabiya explains

Upon hearing the verdict, Amer began singing pro-Qaddafi slogans and called for Shuwehdi to be executed in a public square. She was the one who pulled the chair from under Shuwehdi’s legs on the gallows. During the hanging, the audience was shocked to see the Shuwehdi’s legs still jerking after the rope was released; they were even more shocked when Amer approached his hanging body and pulled on his legs in an attempt to end his life.

Her efforts gained her the attention of Gaddafi, who was watching the live feed from Tripoli.  She was swiftly promoted and became one of Gaddafi’s closest colleagues.  Her power – and her wealth – grew.  So too did her reputation as a blood-thirsty enforcer of Gaddafi’s rule.

Her sprawling mansion was among the first buildings in Benghazi to burn when the Revolution began.

Thankfully, she escaped so that she could be preserved to face the kind of justice that she denied others.

Russia gets down to business

Let's be friends...

One of the most disappointing elements of the Libyan Revolution has been the reaction of certain states to the prospect of Arab freedom.

The degradation and humiliation of the Arabs has, historically, made incalculable sums of money for foreign powers.

While the Arabs are oppressed by a thin domestic elite, their countries are systematically looted by that elite in collusion with foreign powers.  The foreigners provide the weapons necessary to oppress the native population and keep the dictatorship in power, while winning ‘contracts’ for the removal any natural resources of any value.

This is precisely how Russia’s relationship with the Gaddafi dictatorship worked.  Russia provided arms to the regime – which Gaddafi has used, since the outbreak of the uprising to murder upwards of 50,000 Libyans – and in return was awarded contracts in the country, funneling billions to the mafia oligarchs of Moscow.

This explains Russia’s reluctance to recognise the Transitional National Council which is overseeing Libya’s transition to democracy.

If there were any doubt that Russia’s reluctance (and that of Brazil and China) to recognise the new government was based solely on their profitable relations with Gaddafi, we have the proof today from the horse’s mouth.

Al Arabiya reports that Dmitri Medvedev – Putin’s puppet president – has stated that Russia will recognise the TNC provided that it ‘honours’ (with no sense of irony) the contracts struck with the previous regime.  Al Arabiya reports that

Moscow had billions of dollars’ worth of arms, energy and infrastructure deals with Libya under its deposed leader Muammar Qaddafi, and Russian officials have expressed concern they could be lost in the transition.

So there we have it.  You can have democracy, provided that you live like dogs forever so that Russian oligarchs can live high on your money.  Oh, and forget that your sons and daughters were killed by ‘Made in the Russian Federation’ Bullets.

Let’s hope that the TNC specifies precisely where Mr Medvedev can insert his recognition.

The Gaddafis. A family of taste. Update.

I know what you're thinking. But this elegant lady is not Audrey Hepburn. This is Alina, wife of Hannibal Gaddafi. More about her in a later post.

The rebels of the newly free Libya are still ransacking the Gaddafi palaces and villas as part of the catharsis which must follow 42 years of torture and degradation.

Hannibal Gaddafi. 'Miami Vice Chic'.

Among the newly discovered items from the Bab el Aziziyeh compound are photo albums.

Alina again. I have nothing to add.

You may think, from such understated elegance and good taste, that you are thumbing through a vintage Vogue from the 1950s.  Not so.

Here we have Sophia Gaddafi - matriarch - and her eldest son Seif el Islam. With them is Aisha Gaddafi, prior to her decision to dye her hair a shade of blonde that occurs nowhere in nature. Note that the Libyan people paid for those sleeves.

Algeria Harbours War Criminals

Like Gaddafi, Bouteflika has stolen billions from Algeria while his people struggle

The Algerian dictatorship, led by the ridiculous and venal Abdel-Aziz Bouteflika is, according various news sources, harbouring the Gaddafi butchers.

Algiers has apparently confirmed that, in support genocide against the Libyan people, they are now harbouring:

  • Sophia el Gaddafi – wife of the tyrant and thief of billions of dollars of Libya’s money
  • Aisha el Gaddafi – daughter of the tyrant and thief of billions of dollars of Libya’s money
  • Mohammed el Gaddafi – son of the tyrant, rapist and thief of billions of dollars of Libya’s money
  • Hannibal el Gaddafi – son of the tryant, rapist and thief of billions of dollars of Libya’s money
  • And other butchers, rapists and thieves, totalling at least 30 criminals

A spokesman for the National Transitional Council rightly described the move as an act of aggression against the Libyan people.  It certainly cannot be understood as anything else.

This comes in the wake of denials from Algiers some days ago that the Gaddafi family had entered Algeria in a fleet of armoured Mercedes-Benzes:

 Al Jazeera‘s Anita McNaught, reporting on these developments from Tripoli, said: “There have been rumours over the last few days that said the family members had gone and that Gaddafi himself may have gone.”

“This was denied by Algerian authorities some days ago. But there is no smoke without fire. We don’t know where Gaddafi himself is, but we know these family members are in Algeria.

“The Algerian government has always got on really well with the Gaddafi regime. Algeria is one of the few countries that has not yet recognised the NTC.”

Earlier, the Egyptian news agency MENA, quoting unidentified rebel fighters, had reported that six armoured Mercedes sedans, possibly carrying Gaddafi’s sons or other top regime figures, had crossed the border at the southwestern Libyan town of Ghadamis into Algeria.

Algeria’s foreign ministry had denied that report.

The Gaddafis. A family of taste.

A Libyan rebel takes a rest on Aisha Gaddafi's mermaid throne. Stay classy, Aisha.

 

They’re not exactly the Rothschilds.

The life of the mad dictator, butcher of tens of thousands of Libyans, has been laid bare for all to see.

Libyans in London seize Seif el Islam's house in London for their country

While Gaddafi liked to present himself as a simple man, receiving foreign dignitaries in his famous bedouin tent, the truth about the family who squandered Libya’s billions is becoming clear.

The bathroom in the elder Gaddafi's garish private jet

Despite having the Libyan treasury at their personal disposal, it seems that money can’t buy you taste.  Vulgarity is the key theme that runs through the Gaddafi palaces and villas.

Seif el Islam's private cinema in his London home

Take, for example, Gaddafi’s daughter Aisha.  She who stood ‘steadfast’ outside of her father’s house inside the Bab el Aziziyeh palace compound, proclaiming her love for the Libyan people, lived in a style that the people of her country could only dream of.  And they picked up the tab.

Pamela Geller. Liar.

Geller. The Mind.

Pamela Geller is one of the leading lights of the Transatlantic anti-Muslim movement.

She writes the wildly popular ‘Atlas Shrugs’ blog and is a frequent contributor on Fox News and various far-right American websites – American Thinker, World Net Daily and so on.

It is useful here to consider the mindset of this influential woman.  Her influence is limited not merely to right-wing circles in the United States, but extends to Europe where the ideology that she and her colleagues on the Right spread gave us Anders Behring Breivik and his Norway massacre.

Today on her blog, she posts a brief article from the Economist.

It is the method of Geller and Spencer to post articles from other news sources and to provide commentary on them.  Frequently – presumably sure that the readers will limit themselves to the commentary and not bother with the article itself – Geller’s comments do not actually correspond to the content of the articles.

Today’s offering includes details of the partial remilitarisation of the Sinai Peninsula by Egypt.

(Briefly: the Sinai Peninsula is sovereign Egyptian land.  Under the so-called peace treaty between the two countries, Egypt (and Israel) are equally forbidden to send their military into the land.  Essentially, it is at best a buffer zone and at worst, an extension of Israeli sovereignty into Egypt.  Egypt needs, however, to send military personnel into the Peninsula to maintain security.  It has sought – and been granted – Israeli permission to do this.  The indignity of having to ask a foreigner for permission to enter one’s own land is for a later post.)

Here is what Geller posts:

“Sometimes you have to subordinate strategic considerations to tactical needs,” says Ehud Barak, Israel’s defense minister. This is one such time: Mr. Barak, backed by the current prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, is going to agree toEgypt deploying thousands of troops in Sinaieven though the Israel-Egypt peace treaty strictly forbids it. They will have helicopters and armored vehicles, Barak says, but no tanks beyond the lone battalion already stationed there. 
  Israel faces a dilemma with far-reaching strategic consequences.Thirty years of peace with Egypt have rested, above all, on a demilitarized Sinai. The peninsula is patrolled by an international force and monitored by America from the air, to ensure that both sides keep their armies out, even though Sinai is sovereign Egyptian soil. Until now, Israel had  said no to Egyptian demands t o let more troops on to the peninsula, beyond what is specified in the 1979 peace treaty. Yet it urgently needs Egypt to tighten security.

The decision comes after an audacious attack on August 18th on Israeli vehicles travelling on a scenic road that hugs the Israel-Egypt border and ends at the resort town of Eilat. Eight Israelis, civilians and soldiers, died in the attack and in shoot-outs involving the army. Ten attackers were killed, two apparently by Egyptian border guards, six of whom were also killed in the crossfire. Egypt blamed Israel for the deaths. Israel replied that a hard-core group of Palestinians, all heavily armed, had entered Egypt’s Sinai peninsula from Gaza a month ago, camped and trained there, and made their way unhindered across open desert to the site of the attack. Egyptian and Israeli security sources believe that several militants operating in Sinai joined them to take part in the attacks [emphasis hers]

Consider the last portion of text that Geller has put in bold: “two apparently killed by Egyptian border guards”.  This means that two of the militants who attacked Israel were killed by Egyptian border guards.

She suggests, though, that Egyptian border guards killed Israelis.  She says:

Egyptian military took part on the attacks on Israel. How many will join the war againt the Jewish state once its militarized?

They did not.  What happened in fact was that SIX Egyptian personnel were murdered by ISRAELI soldiers.  Something for which Israel has refused to apologise on the basis that Arab life has less value.

Geller, who is a liar and a shyster, clearly hopes her semi-conscious readers won’t notice.  I’ll keep an eye on the comments section and my guess is that no one will.  It is important to deride Muslims and to spread lies about them.  The truth, to the likes of Geller and Spencer, is rarely an issue.

UPDATE: The following comment appeared:

How on earth dos [sic] one get from “Ten attackers were killed, two apparently by Egyptian border guards, six of whom were also killed in the crossfire.” to “Egyptian military took part on the attacks on Israel.”?

Expect Geller to remove the comment.  That’s her style.
