Here’s a thought experiment: Just imagine for a second if London soccer fans chanted for a return to black slavery.
What would the reaction from liberal intelligentsia be to such abominable racism?
How would the Guardian cover such a story?
Well, can someone please explain why the following call, by masses of Egyptian soccer fans (at an April 6th match) for another Holocaust against the Jews, hasn’t been universally condemned, or even reported, by the Guardian or anyone else in the mainstream media?
Here’s a sign at the same soccer match, posted on the “Fuck Israel” Facebook page:

Despite being its biggest supporters I have no doubt the “West” (Europe) will come to rue the “Arab Spring”. We are constantly told that the Palestinians voted for Hamas because of Israeli “oppression” – well what about the Egyptians? Two-thirds vote for extremist Islamic parties and overwhelmingly reject secular liberal parties. Embassy’s including the British embassy get trashed while the police stand and watch. That banner at the football ground is in English for a reason – it is saying “Fuck Israel” but it is also saying “Fuck Europe” and “Fuck the USA”.
Be careful what you wish for.

It’s chilling. And of course the Guardian remains silent. Silent, because it gleefully watches on the sidelines fanning the flames of hatred. I wonder why other papers don’t report it the raw details either?

The banner on the upper deck says:
“brotherhood in blood – white knights”
I did a Google on the above phrase and there is a facebook presence as uwk – “brotherhood in blood uwk” – the facebook page wants javascript, but I disallow it.
“white knights” sounds like white supremecists. They must be feeding their shit to Egyptian islamists.
And the “bug” on the lower right says “zanalek.sc” – zanalek sporting club.
That clip of a torchlit rally looks familiar. hmmm.

I read that this famous torch parade involved only around 15.000 SA, that went round and round and round for hours. And the senile Hindenburg thought they were victorious WWI troops bringing back prisiones

Zamalek SC – Zamalek Sporting Club
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamalek_SC
“Fans and Ultras Group
Zamalek is considered one of the most popular teams in Egypt and Arabian World. An Ultras group was formed in 2007 for zamalek fans and was called “Ultras White Knights” or simply “UWK”. The White Knights showed great performance. They are one of the first “Ultras” groups in Egypt and are also the first to use choreography in support of their team.”
Why White Knights???
January 10, 2012 at 3:02 am

The KKK seems obvious, Infidel. But an ironic use is for WK is white peacekeepers as in:
Dark Threats and White Knights: The Somalia Affair, Peacekeeping, and the New Imperialism: Amazon.ca: Sherene Razack: Books
Buy from Amazon
There’s also The Aryan Brotherhood of Texas. Were Egyptians Aryan before they were Arabised?
I suspect gaming also but there is a range and maybe it’s something else entirely.
January 10, 2012 at 3:11 am
Ariadne
And it’s brought to mind something that’s never heard now. Too innocent, maybe.
Though, on topic, Infidel is most likely correct.
The Pratt’s view from the parallel universe:
Meanwhile, the threats to the “axis of resistance” (Iran, Syria, Hizbollah and Hamas) from below may provide new opportunities for renewed attempts by the “axis of evil” (that is, US, Europe, Saudi Arabia and Israel) to deepen its penetration of the region and enhance the neoliberal order, at the expense of the rights of most ordinary people, including the Palestinians.

Forgive me but I am not surprised, appalled and disgusted, yes, but not surprised.
The pit for Jewish hate in islam is bottomless, it predates the founding of the modern Jewish state (and therefore has nothing whatsoever to do with it) and goes back to the pronouncements my Mohammad.
This is Obama’s vision of peace. I mention Obama because he is the high priest of the progressives, their Grand Wizard and therefore his ownership.
Guardian, Guardian News Channel (BBC), Ben White, Shameless Milne – are all having a wonderful Springtime with Islam.
This reminds me of the Nuremburg Rally. I’m just wanting for the Grand Wizard Himself – Obama, to take the salute in the open top people’s saloon.

I think you are correct, Rupa. But what a pity Islam got hold of Egypt. There’s a lot on YouTube denying this or that heritage. Lebanon and Egypt and I wonder how many more don’t want to be Arab. Perhaps the antisemitic “white” theme blankets other hatreds.

I read that the reason many statues in Egypt are missing their nose is because Islamists, years ago, lopped off the nose to show that even statues must bow/submit to allah/mohammed.

That wouldn’t surprise me. A few years ago I saw a photograph – I think a photograph – of the Jewish secretary to the Grand Poo Bah of Jerusalem. The poor man had had his nose and lips cut off. Remember that these are people who play football in their oh-so-precious Mosque of Omar.

I was India a couple of years ago visiting some ancient temples and archelogical sites. Most statutes I saw had thier noses hacked off and our guide was reluctant to say why this was so, but a German guy in our team said over the evening meal, quietly, that all these statues were destroyed or damaged by muslim invaders and their ancestors right upto the eighteenth century.
January 10, 2012 at 2:24 pm

I wonder why they left the statues. Apparently Muslims destroyed more than 60.000 Hindu temples.

‘Egyptian’ is the term for all constructs that can be subjected to deconstruction – except for the pyramind, that most Egyptian of edifices, which stands in its place, unshakeable for all time, because its form is the undeconstructible remainder of a construction that is built to look as it would after its own collapse.
A very interesting concept in the latter half of that sentence. And new to me.

“…although according to the Hasbara Handbook for Hasbaraniks, Hamas should be pronounced KKKKKhamas”
No, that’s according to your racist, “Zionism is White European Colonialism” believing friends at Mound o’ Scheiss.
Though, pronunciation apart, I don’t see much to dispute in adding a “KKK” to Hamas’s name. They’re not far removed—Hamas Nazis, KKK Nazis, Stormondofronters (dibs to one of the few sane posters on +972Mag for that), blaxupremacists like Obama’s mentor Rev. Wright… people who’d normally be at each other’s throats exhibiting such unison on the Jewish/Zionist question.
Interesting times, as the dragon guys say.

So what are you saying, mostly? That any source that shows any sign of support for Israel and is “well put together” cannot therefore be trusted, as it is clearly some “stunt”?
OK – let’s assume you are right, and this is an organised attempt to spread the good news about Israel and to highlight the anti-semitism that is deeply rooted in most Arab countries. So what?
Are you saying it’s OK for the Palestinians, “liberals”, Islamists and pretty much anyone else to organise and spread (mis)information, but not for Israel and her supporters? That any source that disagrees with your faux-concerned view of the ME can’t be trusted to tell the truth?
How wonderful it must be to have such certainty!

‘Hasn’t MEMRI been discredited?’
Yes. Accurately recording and publishing by no means unrepresentative Arabic or Islamic antisemitism, as well as hatred of Jews or Israel is innately discreditable.
Idiot. And by no means harmless. Your mischievous idiocy does constitute a kind of threat to Jews and Israel generally: you help to spread the poison.
