These people really are brainwashed: <<< Charles Johnson's excellent Little Green Footballs blog published a parody last week, a story from "Al-Jee'ef" that "reported" on an Arab League statement denouncing the " 'illegal Zionist occupation' of Earth orbit." (The joke referred to a real news story, on Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon, now aboard the space shuttle Columbia.) There was no such Arab League statement, but Ha'aretz, the newspaper sometimes called the New York Times of Israel, published a headline on its Web site: "Arab League condemns NASA inclusion of Israeli astronaut as 'first step in illegal Zionist occupation of space.' (News Agencies)" Today LGF notes that an article by Israel's ambassador to France, which appears in the French-language Guysen Israel News, also cites the parody as if it were on the level. >>> politechbot.com
