BBC Runs Unverifiable “Scoop” From Credibility-Challenged Richard Silverstein
August 16, 2012 14:31 by Simon PloskerChristian Science Monitor has a similar take on the beating war drums.
Boycotts and Divestment
• Tensions increase between Israel and South Africa in wake of South African ministers comments that the government discourages its citizens from visiting Israel. The minister claimed the reason was that Israel oppresses Palestinians. AIPAC countered that the South African government does not discourage its citizens from visiting Arab countries despite their appalling human rights records.
• The United Church of Canada declares boycott of Israeli goods from the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem. Jewish groups fighting the decision claim the move is at odds with views of church members, who want the church to maintain neutrality on the conflict.
The Rest of the Roundup
• Families of assassinated Iranian scientists have filed a suit against Israel, US, and Britain. The main evidence comes from “confessions” from 14 suspects in Iran.
• Egyptian military is pushing the limits on bringing weapons into the Sinai while the Takfiris, a group “so extreme that it worries even Egypt’s Muslim ultraconservatives” appears to be building up arms in the region.
• UN Panel says Syria committed war crimes. Who saw that coming?

Israel must remember that South Africa is now a 3rd world country governed by the “new” South African elite. The anti-Israel movement is rampant here and, because they are definitely not white, their side of any story – no matter how untrue or outrageous it is – will be believed. There is a story going around in islamic circles that the twin towers in New York were deliberately blown up by Zionist fanatics to put the blame on the palestinians and arabs. This is the length of the lies they are capable of telling but, the true misery is, they actually believe these lies. Fiction soon festers into fact in the minds of the uneducated and the truth disappears into the dust of history.

ONE DAY after 9/11, our village Arab shopkeeper assured me that 9/11 was the work of Zionists!
I console myself with a different thought: as long as the Arabs live in a world of self-delusion, they can never master the details of reality to be a formidable force equipped to seriously threaten Israel’s existence.
We’ve been so brainwashed about the “poor Palestinians” that the still graver injustices of expulsion and asset expropriation of the 850,000 North African Jews (1947-67) is ignored. It is safe to estimate that more than a third of the Palestinian Arabs arrived after 1902 and 1917 whereas the Jews had been in the Arab world for up to 2600 years. Justice? Fairness?
