Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "According to the Saudi press, 9/11 was obviously the work of the Mossad ..." More BS from MEMRI. Hey, I'm sure you can find a newspaper article from a Saudi newspaper quoting someone as saying something like that but so what, I can find the same quotes in US newspapers. MEMRI is very biased and they're giving you only what it is that they want you to hear. For you this is a good thing, because your politics are aligned precisely with MEMRI's.
The fact is that the vast majority of the Arab reporting on the WTC attributed it to Osama bin Laden. If the Arabs really believed that the Mossad arranged the bombings then why were they simultaneously celebrating in the street over the great victory? You guys have got to the point in your hatred where your ability to think clearly has been affected. Why would you think that you can fool the rest of us into believing contradictory things about what the Arabs believe is the perpetrator of the WTC?
For that matter, it would be more impressive if you gave a link to a Saudi Arabian web site instead of the usual Israeli propaganda. There's plenty of English Saudi Arabian news sites, and they have plenty of news. For example:
Fire kills infant girl in Jouf Atheer news, Saudi Arabia, January 18, 2002 An infant girl has died here, in the northern province of Jouf, of severe burns suffered when a loose end of her dress caught fire as she was playing near a kerosene heater. Unaware of the fire, she continued running around the room, and set various bits of furniture on fire. By the time people came to her rescue, the girl was dead, said Lt. Col. Abdan Al-Sharari, director of Civil Defense unit in the town. The fire was reportedly caused by Mossad agents who parachuted in from a secret airdrop on Monday. The defense ministry says that the Zionist oppressors will be hunted down like dogs. atheer.net.sa
It's easy enough to generate urban myths about societies like the Saudis. If you can't think of any, go back to this post, which claimed (incorrectly), for instance, that women couldn't be doctors in Saudi Arabia: #reply-16526745

P.S. I shamelessly added the final two sentences to the Saudi story on the house fire. |
