Since the US began to cobble together an international alliance to combat terrorism following the Sept. 11 attacks, the US media are unleashing a campaign against Muslims and Arabs without any distinction. Worse still, by the time the air strikes on Afghanistan began, the US media was attacking Saudi Arabia and Egypt for not agreeing to punish an entire nation on the pretext of hunting a few individuals or a number of groups.
Saudi Arabia and Egypt have made it very clear that they oppose terrorism of all sorts and are ready and willing to participate in combating terrorism provided it is under the auspices of the international community and within the framework of international law. Moreover, both countries have experienced and endured the consequences of terrorism long before New York and Washington were hit. But neither the US nor Europe condemned the terrorist attacks on both these countries the way Saudi Arabia and Egypt did following the September attacks.
Interestingly, the US media attacks on Saudi Arabia and Egypt run counter to the daily statements of the US president or his secretary of state. Both have been praising the credible support and sincere efforts demonstrated by the Kingdom and Egypt. Then why this media onslaught? A study would reveal their motives. Thomas Friedman, a Jew, accuses Saudi Arabia and Egypt of not being with the US in its war on Afghanistan. The Washington Post even questions the legitimacy of the government in Egypt by saying that the elections were not fair, that freedom of expression is suppressed and that the political situation is in peril.
There is no doubt that after World War II, the world Jewry has been trying to be as close as possible to the decision-making processes in the West in general and the US in particular — Congress, the Senate and the Pentagon. Zionism convinced the Western world that communism was their enemy No. 1 with Islam occupying the second position. As communism is no longer a threat, Islam is the No. 1 enemy and such a canard is unfortunately believed by many Westerners.
Moreover, as Zionism is surviving on lies, it exploits every opportunity to target Islam and this is evident following the September attacks on the US. Therefore, the US media that are controlled or dominated by Zionists continue attacking Islam, Muslims and Arabs taking advantage of the fact that the prime suspects in the attacks are Arab or Muslim.
The enmity between the West and Islam is growing due to the lies spread by Zionism. Zionists claim that Arabs and Muslims are against Israel. They choose to ignore the fact that Israel is an alien outpost in the Arab world. It was Jews who occupied Palestine and displaced its original people.
Still Zionists are trying to make it appear that the just struggle of the Arabs for restoring their rights and land is not only directed against Israel but also against the Western world and that Israel is the best guardian of the West’s interests in the Middle East. So, it is not surprising that the Zionist media tried to equate the September attacks on the US with the legitimate struggle of the Palestinians against Israel and call the Palestinians terrorists. Zionists are trying to poison Arab-US relations to further their own interests.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Egypt believe in open diplomacy. They have their own perceptions on Afghanistan. It is in Israel’s interests to create a wedge between the West and Arab world. The Western countries should ponder whether it is in their own interests to swallow the Zionist version of everything.
