| Muslim Brotherhood warns of more Zionists in Tahrir Square Posted: 14 Jul 2011 08:53 PM PDT From Al Masry al Youm: The Muslim Brotherhood's official news outlet, Ikhwan Online, is reporting that "the remnants of the dissolved National Democratic Party, the state security apparatus and their Zionist allies" are trying to destabilize Egypt by infiltrating an ongoing sit-in protest in Cairo's Tahrir Square.
The website reported on 11 July that at the 8 July protest, protesters in Tahrir Square caught three "thugs" carrying knives and foreign currencies. According to the website, the three men had a tattoo of the Star of David, a Jewish symbol, which also appears on the Israeli flag. Tattoos are forbidden under Jewish law.
"The remnants of the dissolved National Democratic Party, the State Security apparatus and their Zionist allies still attempt to use thugs and spies to suppress the revolt of the Egyptian people that have damaged the interests of the beneficiaries of the ousted regime in Egypt, and tipped the balance in the Middle East," the Brotherhood outlet said.
While the Brotherhood lent its official support to the 8 July protest that started the sit-in, they decided not to participate in continuing protests.
According to Ikhwan Online, bombs and tear gas marked with the Star of David were also allegedly found in possession of a satellite television reporter who was inciting protesters against the police and encouraging demonstrators to storm the Ministry of Interior.
The website's investigation of these incidents raised questions about the supposed coincidences.
Major General Hamdy Bakhit, a military expert, told Ikhwan Online that it is not unlikely there will be cooperation between the remnants of Mubarak's regime and Egypt's enemies abroad after revolutionaries raised questions about Egypt's controversial natural gas export deal with Israel.
"The Western countries, including the United States and Israel, want to derail the revolution because Arab revolutions limit Western influence in the region, thwart attempts to control the Middle East and deplete its resources," Ikhwan Online quoted Major General Mohammed Abdul Lateef Tolba, a security expert, as saying.
Tolba told the website that Tahrir Square, where demonstrations are entering their sixth day, is full of spies from different nationalities, led by the Zionists, the first enemy of the Arabs and Egyptians. So whats the difference between a corrupt regime that associates everything they don't like with Zionists and a corrupt, crazy political party that associates everything they don't like with Zionists?

| The Palestinian Arabs who like to keep their people in misery Posted: 14 Jul 2011 02:53 PM PDT Ma'an publishes an op-ed by Maath Musleh, "a Palestinian from Jerusalem and an activist in the Palestinian youth movement." It is the usual drivel where he claims that the anti-Israel anarchists are the only real Jews, and he tries to fend off criticism within Palestinian Arab society that cooperating with these Jews is a form of normalization (which is, by their definition, a horrid crime.) We have to be open about the subject now more than ever. We have to set the standards for our co-resistance. Yes we do co-operate with the Jewish citizens of the State of Israel. But the standards of this co-operation are clear. We work together with every Israeli that opposes Zionism and fully recognizes the Palestinian rights, freedom, equality, and the right of the return.
...As Zionism is also the enemy of the Jews, those Israelis have the right to resist it. Those activists are not only there for solidarity. It's also their war. The Palestinians who try to portray the co-resistance as normalization have to first go down to the front line and resist. We have nothing to hide. Our work of co-resistance is under the sun. It's not underground. And we oppose co-operating with the leftist Zionists who take part in demonstrations or call themselves peace activists. This is not such an unusual viewpoint in the PalArab world, but it is one that gets hushed up in the Western media because they want to portray all non-Islamist Palestinian Arabs as being peace-loving and willing to compromise. As this essay shows, that is far from the truth. This extremist is not writing this piece to justify his position as going too far - it is to defend his position from people who are even less tolerant than he is! I commented: So, to be clear, you don't want to live in peace with Israel, but you want it destroyed.
And until then, you want to keep Palestinian Arabs in a stateless limbo, where hundreds of thousands will stay in camps and without the simple human right of becoming citizens in the countries they were born in and will die in.
Since Israel is not going anywhere, you would prefer to keep your fellow Palestinians in misery - forever.
Wow, you must really love your people!

| Funny Syrian news fauxtography Posted: 14 Jul 2011 01:05 PM PDT From The Envoy: Syria's beleaguered president Bashar al-Assad last week fired the governor of the restive city of Hama, reportedly over concerns the governor was too accommodating to anti-regime demonstrators staging peaceful protests in the city. So on Monday, SANA informs us, Assad—ever the dutiful strongman—purported to swear in his new choice to rule Hama, Anas Abdul-Razzaq Na-em, providing this notably odd photo of the two leaders:
 Enterprising journalists and bloggers soon spotted key discrepancies--such as the telltale way that the table between the two men appears to cast an improbably glossy shadow on the surface of an oriental rug, and eerie way that Na-em casts no shadow in his surroundings whatsoever. The UK Guardian solicited an opinion from its "imaging expert" Drew McCoy, who noted further that "two pictures may have been merged to make it seem like the men are in the same room, with the one on the right positioned fractionally higher than the one on the left. This becomes clearer when you look closely at the floor, which is distorted. The right hand side of the picture has been stretched downwards into place to line up with the left side (which is not distorted)." The Washington Post noted further that one of Assad's shoes "appears to be sticking out in front of the table leg," even though the rest of his body is position behind the table leg. And McCoy's counterpart at the Post, Dan Murano, seconds McCoy's judgment that a closer examination of both figures shows few of the signature traces that actual humans display when actually captured on film--such as stray hairs. Instead, the figures of both men have perfectly unruffled outlines. The photo, Murano concluded, "looks as if someone selected the the bodies and heads with the lasso tool and then adjusted the contrast and brightness, leaving a black outline at the tool's selection boundary."

| Bollywood looking to film in Israel? Posted: 14 Jul 2011 11:45 AM PDT From TheJC:
The next Indian blockbuster may have Jewish characters and scenes filmed in Israel, if new plans to bring Bollywood to Israel pan out.
Eight leaders of the Indian film industry spent this week in Israel, scouting out locations and speaking to local counterparts about ideas for films with storylines that bring characters to Israel. They attended the Jerusalem Film Festival, where one of the producers, Vinod Kumar, previewed his new film, Gangor.
"It has been a revelation of sorts," said Mr Kumar, Secretary General of the Film Foundation of India and head of three major Indian film companies. "We had heard that Israel was very small but every kilometre is different from the next, which is amazing for a filmmaker."
Another delegate, Bobby Bedi, managing director of Kaleidoscope Entertainment and producer of the internationally acclaimed 1994 film Bandit Queen, said after a tour of Jerusalem that he would find it "absolutely fascinating" to film in the Old City.
Indians would greet films involving Israel with enthusiasm, he predicted. "India is still a poor country and most people can't travel, and film are a way of 'taking' people overseas," he said. OK, I admit I posted this just to give an excuse to again show this video from Israeli defense contractor Rafael trying to sell "indigenous air systems" to India in 2009: Dinga dinga dee! Not that the cross-culturalization only goes one way. Here's a classic video of Hava Nagila, Indian-style:

| Muslim Brotherhood leader is a crazy, raving lunatic Posted: 14 Jul 2011 10:32 AM PDT In 2008, The Forward published an op-ed by Essam el-Arian, a leader of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, laying out why it should be allowed to field candidates in Egypt's then-upcoming elections. You might disagree with what he had to say but the piece was lucid and organized. Earlier this year The Guardian interviewed the same Essam el-Arian as part of an article about the MB's goals. He sounded much like any politician does in a news interview. In May, the Washington Post interviewed him. Large parts of the interview were published, and again there was little that was exceptional in that interview. The questions were softball, and the answers published include a few suspicious ellipses (. . .) within the text, but he still sounds like a sane man. Today, we see a Michael Totten interview with him - no editing, and the questions are a bit more pointed (as well as Totten doing followups.) The guy is a complete nutcase. He refuses to answer anything, he pushes bizarre conspiracy theories, and some of the stuff he says would not be out of place if the interview was with a mental patient. Here's a small part: Esam El-Erian: The media and think tanks play a very important role. You created a ghost, a monster, this terrorism. You magnify terrorism, and we face its vengeance. You in the media link every Arab, every Muslim, to terrorists. We were pushed to take off our shoes in your airports.
MJT: I have to take off my shoes, too.
Esam El-Erian: Why?
MJT: I don't like it either.
Esam El-Erian: You make people live in terror.
MJT: Who does?
Esam El-Erian: You do. The media.
MJT: Who is living in terror?
Esam El-Erian: Your politicians. Your media. Your media.
MJT: We don't live in terror. I don't know a single person in the media who lives in terror.
Esam El-Erian: Can you answer one question? Why don't we hear about trials for September 11?
MJT: Because the people who did it are dead. They killed themselves in the towers.
Esam El-Erian: Four thousand innocent people were killed, and there has been no trial.
MJT: That's because the people who did it are dead.
Esam El-Erian: Nobody was put in a cage to face a trial.
MJT: They were on the planes. They blew themselves up in the towers.
Esam El-Erian: No. Who was behind it?
MJT: Osama bin Laden. And we just killed him, too.
Esam El-Erian: We know you have about 600 people in Guantanamo Bay. None of them have faced trials. Why? This is a very big mystery.
MJT: Well, what do you think happened? What's your theory?
Esam El-Erian: And another 4,000 Americans were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. You have almost 10,000 innocent Americans killed. Never mind the millions killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. You never put anyone on trial. Who is behind all this? Who made the conspiracy? Is Osama bin Laden alone? Who is behind Osama bin Laden?
Armin Rosen: Who do you think is behind Osama bin Laden?
Esam El-Erian: I want to know!
MJT: What's your theory?
Esam El-Erian: You have the documents now that Osama bin Laden is dead.
MJT: What's your theory?
Esam El-Erian: I don't know.
MJT: You have a theory.
Esam El-Erian: I want to know. That is the question.
MJT: Everybody has a theory. What's yours?
Esam El-Erian: Why 10,000 Americans killed? Why? Without any investigation.
MJT: Why does it have to be a conspiracy? It really isn't that complicated.
Esam El-Erian: Is Osama bin Laden alone, or is somebody with him?
MJT: Why does anyone have to be behind Osama bin Laden?
Esam El-Erian: This must be investigated in America! There is this case in the U.K. about hacked telephones. 160 news people were fired.
MJT: [Laughs.] That has nothing to do with Osama bin Laden.
Esam El-Erian: A very old newspaper was closed. There was no drop of blood. If 10,000 Americans don't expect to have a full investigation about the killings in New York, Iraq, and Afghanistan, we want to know.
MJT: Look, it really isn't that complicated. Osama bin Laden had some support in Saudi Arabia and from Pakistan's ISI.
Esam El-Erian: Look, sir. It is not enough that Osama bin Laden admitted in public that he did it. Osama bin Laden can't do it alone.
MJT: He had some support in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
Esam El-Erian: If you're saying Saddam Hussein supported him, it's a lie. Colin Powell said Saddam Hussein had biological weapons, but this was a lie. Colin Powell now regrets this.
We want to know.
MJT: What is it that you don't know?
Esam El-Erian: You tell me.
MJT: This isn't complicated.
Esam El-Erian: Yes, it's complicated. I agree!
MJT: No. It's not complicated. This is not just a politician who is trying to avoid answering; this is just a loony who is not used to anyone asking him something beyond the norm. Read the whole thing. The craziness starts immediately as he answers questions that were never asked from the get-go. And it makes one wonder - did the other Western media outlets that interviewed El-Erian edit his responses so he doesn't sound like he is in a psychiatric hospital? Do other major political figures of any stripe say equally crazy things, and if they do, are they also being sanitized before being presented to Western audiences? The part of the interview about Palestinian Arabs was interesting as well: Esam El-Erian: Can you imagine a democratic Syria or a democratic Jordan assimilating Palestinians in their lands? They cannot. It is a matter of time. Those people must go back [to Israel]. You prevent Mexicans by force from secret immigration.
MJT: Only illegal immigrants, not legal immigrants.
Esam El-Erian: This is illegal. We cannot have non-citizens in our lands. They take our jobs.
MJT: Palestinian refugees have been living in Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan for more than 60 years.
Esam El-Erian: No! Even if they've been there for 200 years, they must go back [to Israel]. The Muslim Brotherhood, representing mainstream Islamist politics, is saying that the reason that the Palestinian Arabs they claim to love cannot be naturalized as Arab citizens of other countries is because "they take our jobs." And the Arab nations cannot have their Palestinian brothers in their lands. So it isn't that they want the Palestinian Arabs to "return" to Israel because they love them. They just want them the hell out of their lands because they hate them!

| Hezbollah having cash flow problems? Posted: 14 Jul 2011 08:27 AM PDT From Der Spiegel: In recent months, Hezbollah has become involved in disastrous investments, losing almost €1 billion ($1.4 billion). The Iranians, who are now feeling the brunt of the UN sanctions imposed as a result of their nuclear activities, have made it clear that they cannot provide Hezbollah with additional funding at this time. This is embarrassing for Hezbollah, whose image in Lebanon depends in large part on its generous social services. It is now falling behind in the rebuilding of homes it had promised to Hezbollah's Shiite followers after the destructive 2006 bomb attacks. Israel began massive bombing strikes in Lebanon that year after Hezbollah abducted two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid.
Western intelligence agencies believe that they have identified a new Hezbollah income source: the drug trade. Iranian weapons shipments to the Lebanese were reportedly "enriched" with large quantities of heroin and cocaine. The drugs were then allegedly shipped to their final destination, Western Europe, through the Turkish Cypriot port of Famagusta. The Iranian representative of the Revolutionary Guard in Beirut, Hassan Mahdavi, allegedly mentioned, in a telephone conversation, a "drug tsunami" that could flush millions into Hezbollah's coffers. I'm a little surprised that Spiegel doesn't mention the large amounts of evidence that Hezbollah has been in Mexico and South America for years working the drug trade; for example this information hacked from Arizona police recently by lulzsec. But the article gives me an idea - send pump and dump penny stock schemes to Hezbollah email addresses! You can get rich while Hezbollah loses more money! Or a good pyramid scheme - Shahid Investments, LLC. Bernie Madoff is in prison, but maybe he can help us set this up? Might as well use his skills for something good... (h/t Daily Alert)

| MK Zoabi gets ejected from Knesset, pushes guard (video) Posted: 14 Jul 2011 07:35 AM PDT Fun times in the Knesset yesterday! From Arutz-7: MK Hanin Zoabi (Balad) flew into an uncontrollable rage Wednesday during a Knesset speech by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu was answering Opposition members regarding a bill that regulates housing issues.
He noted that many leading members of Kadima had signed on to the original law before the party reversed itself on this issue. He also said that he expected Opposition parties to protest regarding other issues – such as the participation by MK Hanin Zoabi (Balad) in the violent Gaza flotilla in 2010.
The remark threw Zoabi into a rage. While most of what she said was not sufficiently clear for the microphones to pick up, she was visibly distraught and pushed a Knesset guard who was escorting her out (2:27 on video).
She approached a microphone and said to the Prime Minister: "Stand me against a wall and have the soldiers from the flotilla shoot me!" YNet notes: The Knesset's employee committee sent a letter of complaint to Knesset Director-General Dan Landau demanding that MK Hanin Zoabi (Balad) apologize for her behavior Wednesday. Zoabi had clashed with a security guard during the prime minister's plenum speech, which she disrupted.
The employees' committee representing the security guard says that it will consider countermeasures against Zoabi if she does not apologize. An Arabic site has a different version of the video. (h/t Israel Muse)

| Egypt pushes off elections Posted: 14 Jul 2011 06:35 AM PDT From Bikya Masr: The country's ruling Supreme Council of Armed Forces on Wednesday announced it was moving back elections that had been scheduled for September until October or possibly November. The move was met with widespread skepticism and frustration.
"It has been decided to hold elections for the People's Assembly and the Shura Council next October or November," the state-run MENA news agency quoted a military official as saying on Wednesday, in reference to the lower and upper houses of parliament.
Despite the delay, the military rulers who took power after 18 days of street protests ousted President Hosni Mubarak on February 11, stated their continued support for democracy and a transition to civilian rule.
The same official added that the military "is committed to its previous announcement that the electoral process would start six months from the constitutional declaration" of March.
"This means that the electoral process for the People's Assembly and the Shura Council would start before the end of September," the official said.
After the announcement by the military, debate ensued. Many felt it was too little too late and the interim government and the military were not doing enough to meet the protesters demands.
The ministry of interior, however, hoped that its concurrent announcement would also bring about a change in perception among the protesters. It announced that they would fire some 600 police officers accused of participating in the attacks on civilians in January and February during the uprising.
Still, it didn't appear to be enough for the few hundred protesters maintaining their sit-in in central Cairo.
"We want an end to the old guard, former ruling party members and we want to see the trials of Mubarak and Adly and others for what they have done to us and this country," 31-year-old Ahmed Gabr told Bikya Masr. He has been in Tahrir daily since July 8, when the sit-in began with a massive gathering activists hoped would push the country forward on the right path.
Not all Egyptians are throwing their weight behind the sit-in, however, with a growing section of Egyptian society beginning to wane in their support for public action that has brought downtown Cairo to a near standstill and saw the country's main administrative building forced closed for three days this week.
"They are not us. They don't speak for us. What is our life right now? It is the same and we are losing jobs and money, but they don't seem to care," said Goma'a Mohamed, a Cairo electrician. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

| Crazy Water Park attacked, and other unreported Gaza news Posted: 14 Jul 2011 03:21 AM PDT The Gaza NGO Safety Office has come out with their biweekly report for June 20-July 3, and it includes news (or details of news items) that did not seem to make it into any media. Here are some of them:: On June 29, an experimental rocket was fired by Hamas towards the sea.
On 24 June, masked gunmen opened fire and threw a hand grenade targeting the Crazy Water Park tourist resort in Sheikh Ejlen area, S-W of Gaza City. People panicked and fled the area; however, there were no reports of injuries or damage. The de facto police opened an investigation. The Park has been targeted before, when on 19 September 2010 the Park's buildings and restaurants were set fire by unknown masked gunmen.
The next day, an explosive device was detonated at 2322hrs next to the perimeter wall of the United Nations Special Coordinator (UNSCO) compound causing damage to the wall. Having left a 30cm crater in the ground, the device is thought to have had an explosive force equivalent to 200 grams of TNT. The force from the blast shattered the windowpanes of both a mosque, which is located 15 meters further down the road, and of an INGO office. As a result of the shattering glass, 1 Palestinian passerby was injured. The fact that the explosion took place late in the evening, and that the explosive device did not contain any shrapnel, suggests that the intention was to shock and convey a message, rather than to do actual harm.
On 26 June, 50 people affiliated to the Fatah Youth Organisation (Shabibah) organised a sit-in in front of the house of a prominent Fatah leader, west of Gaza City, to protest against the decision to dismiss Mohammed Dahlan from the Fatah movement. Shots were fired, which resulted in 1 injury.
On 28 June, a Palestinian man was shot three times by 2 masked gunmen on a motorcycle in Al Bureij Camp.
Another man, allegedly a 50-year old drug dealer, was found dead in Nuseirat Camp. It was reported that he died as a result of an interrogation by the de facto police.
