Daily Briefing: IS EGYPT WORKING AGAINST ISRAEL?

“Since the massacre, Israeli and American officials have played down the Egyptian military’s culpability and nefarious inclinations.

De grosses prises pour Israël, et la preuve irréfutable que le Hamas se sert des civils comme de boucliers humains

Citation de la semaine:  «  Il ne fait pas de doute qu’une certaine forme d’hystérie anti-israélienne, ciblant cet Etat d’une manière particulière en lui imposant le respect de normes politiques et morales qu’on se garde bien d’exiger de ses voisins, pourtant moins vulnérables, témoigne d’un double standard moral suspect. S’y engouffrent toutes sortes de gens qui savent […]
