“This is the time for the Israeli army to prevail its control inside Sinai.”-Uzi Dayan
August 20, the famous former head of Israel’s National Security Council, Uzi Dayan, says Israel should use the current situation to justify launching attacks on Egyptian territory.
Dayan also revealed that a meeting was held in the presence of Israeli Army Chief of Staff Benny Jants, last week, to discuss issues related to Sinai Peninsula, but he did not elaborate.
“….Israel will have to pay.”-Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkish Foreign Minister
Turkey is still waiting for Israel to at least apologies for killing nine Turkish citizens in 2010. The Turkish citizens were trying to get aid to Palestinians in Gaza. Israel has blockaded Gaza for years.
Israel refuses to even apologize. Turkey used to be one of Israel’s strongest supporters in the region, but not anymore.
Egyptians in the city of Alexandria have joined those in Cairo in protesting Israel, and calling for action against the zionist country.
In Cairo one protestor climbed onto the Israeli embassy and torn down the Israeli flag, replacing it with the Egyptian flag.
In Jordan people have surrounded the Israeli embassy. They are demanding Israel stop attacking Palestinians.
“The Arab League received a request from the Palestinian state … and after negotiations it decided to host an urgent meeting on the level of the permanent representatives at 12 PM [Sunday].”-Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, Arab League spokesman
The Arab League is holding an emergency meeting concerning the recent Israeli attacks on Gaza. This is in response to reports that Israel will increase attacks. The Arab League has 22 member countries.
The Israeli media is reporting that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held an emergency meeting, to discuss plans for escalating Israel’s attacks on Palestinians.
Egypt has already demanded Israel stop its aggression. The people of Egypt are demanding military action against Israel.
The Israelis say they must escalate attacks after one Israeli was killed in the early morning of August 21. This after Israel killed dozens of Palestinians and several Egyptians (and that doesn’t count people Israel killed in recent weeks, before this latest violence). I’ve said this before “Cry me a river Israel!!!”
Vanguard Defense Industries was hacked by AntiSec.
Vangard Defense sells the UAV “ShadowHawk” to the military, police and even private companies.
The AntiSec hackers put Vangard documents online, they belong to Senior Vice President Richard T. Garcia. They contain internal meeting notes, contracts, schematics, non-disclosure agreements, employee’s personal information, and counter-terrorism documents.
International observers, tasked with the job of observing compliance with the 1979 peace treaty, between Israel and Egypt, say Israel has violated that treaty.
The 1979 peace treaty was mediated by the United States, and requires that Egypt and Israel do not attack each other. So far, after all these decades, Egypt has kept its promise. But now MFO (Multinational Force and Observer) officials say Israel broke the treaty.
MFO officials say not only did Israel attack Egyptian forces, but Israeli forces crossed into Egypt and fired on Egyptian forces from within Egyptian territory.
In related breaking news Egypt just issued a demand that Israel stop bombing the Palestinian territory know as Gaza: “Egypt denounces the use of force against civilians in any circumstance and strongly advises Israel to immediately stop its military operations against Gaza.”
Paramount and Warner Brother’s have both made U.S.$2 billion in profits so far this year, but not here in the U.S.
The two movie studios made those profits overseas. They’re the first U.S. movie companies to hit such a high overseas profit.
If anyone has been paying attention to where U.S. movies are first released, they’d notice that U.S. movie premiers have been taking place overseas first, before being released in the United States.
Scotland Yard arrested one of their own, for revealing to the public that newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch were hacking into cell phones.
The 51 year old policeman was released on bail. His name has not been made public.
The London Metropolitan Police (Scotland Yard) admit the officer was arrested because everyone in the know about the phone hacking had been ordered not to say anything to the public.
This only makes Scotland Yard look more suspicious in the public’s eye, because some people say they were involved in helping Rupert Murdoch’s newspapers get private info on specific individuals, including members of the Royal Family.
Afghan officials have told British media that the U.S. and Afghanistan have agreed to keep thousands of U.S. troops in country until 2024!
The deal would allow U.S. forces to use Afghan military bases, provide facilities to store massive numbers of U.S. military equipment, and allow thousands of military personnel to stay, including special forces.
Russian officials pointed out that the deal doesn’t make sense: “If the job is done, if terrorism is defeated and peace and stability is brought back, then why would you need bases? If the job is not done, then several thousand troops, even special forces, will not be able to do the job that 150,000 troops couldn’t do. It is not possible.”-Andrey Avetisyan, Russian Ambassador to Afghanistan
The Russians should know, they got their butts kicked by the Afghans back when Russia was part of the Soviet Union. They did exactly what the U.S. is doing now, trying to train up the Afghan government to take on the “terrorists”. The Soviet Union left Afghanistan in 1989, but continued to supply weapons and trainers to the Afghan government. The Afghan government lasted until 1992, brought down by a civil war that lasted until 1996. The civil war ended in 1996 when the Taliban took control of the country.
“Egypt has decided to withdraw its ambassador to Israel until there is an official apology.”-Egyptian government statement
Egyptian officials say Israel killed at least five of their military personnel, who patrol the Israeli/Egypt border on a regular bases.
Egyptians are still protesting outside the Israeli Embassy in Cairo: “This protest will not end as long as the Israeli embassy still has a place in Egypt. We will not leave here until they do, and if that fails, we will go back to Tahrir.”-protester
Egyptians also said they wanted relations with Israel ended, permanently. One protestor said Israel has killed Egyptian border troops before, and that the former Mubarak government always looked the other way. The protestors say they will no longer look the other way when Israel goes on the war path.
