Egypt’s military junta is vowing to “avenge” the deaths in yesterday’s Sinai Peninsula terror attack, but the Israeli government is looking to make hay about the incident with Egypt’s only elected official, President Mohammed Mursi.
In comments Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak says he hopes the deaths of 16 Egyptian police serves as a “wake-up call” for Mursi about the seriousness of border security. So far no group has claimed credit for the attack.
But Israeli officials have been trying to pin the incident on Gaza Strip factions, with an apparent eye toward complaining about President Mursi’s plans to allow Gazans to cross the border into Egypt.
The whole incident seems so tailor-made for Israel to rail against Mursi that the Muslim Brotherhood issued a statement saying that they believe the incident “can be attributed to Mossad” and was carried out with the explicit goal of undermining Mursi’s position.
Heads it's Mossad; tails it's CIA.
Honestly, I do not believe in conincidences. Large parts of the arab world think, that this was a Mossad/CIA staged attack. Not so unlikely if one looks at Syria and Lybia (and Iraq) where destabilization strategies by terror (as in Latin America in the 80ies) are a common mean.
However I do not see the goal of this action…
Israel benefits from 'terrorism' yet again.
Seems like another set up from the Israeli government.
Is this where you start calling Israel a bunch of child killers?
Yes, by the way, they can kill anyone they like. Remember, they the chosen people. They know they own US senate, NATO and UN. What worries me is that they armed to teeth with nuclear weapons and they have threatened to use them.
Its much worser, Israels endless crimes against humanity,/not even naming colosal theft of land from native population/, its sponsorship of all kinds of terrorism makes this "tragig mistake of UN 1948" – truth Nightmare for Humanity – real Cancer of ME–World… peter czech
Truth hurts, eh?
In yesterday's post regarding this attack: http://news.antiwar.com/2012/08/05/16-egyptian-po…
a commentator there said how this attack is all too convenient for Israel:
Jaime
"It's very fishy. And very convenient also for Israel. It's as if they are telling the Egyptians, "We told you not to open the borders to these perfidious Palestinians."
Personally, yesterday i didn't think much of Israel being behind this attack. But now with this comment from Israel, "wake-up call" for Mursi, man… this whole mess is looking a lot like an Israeli false-flag op to me.
Anything bad that happens while it ends up benefiting the Zionists is usually done by the Zionists themselves. Israel does not have an ally only subservient politicians in Washington who are reminded of re-election donations, and Netanyahu does not believe in the foolishness of 'karma'.
Indeed it should be. Isreal just sent a clear message to Egypt that they will continue to pull false flags, terrorism and create chaos inside Egypt. After all, no one doubts that this was just one of Isreal's old tricks in order to sow more violence and confusion for their own benefit.
In case there were any doubts:
"In wake of Sinai attack, Egypt moves to seal Gaza tunnels"
Campaign aims to seal tunnels used to smuggle goods and people between Egypt and the Gaza Strip; Egyptian security forces begin arresting suspects in northern Sinai town of al-Arish.

"Mossad" is an old Aztec word for "He Who Who Waves a False Flag".
