Fifty years after an Egyptian court convicted them of being Zionist agents, and 37 years after their release from Egyptian prisons, Marcelle Ninio, Robert Dassa and Meir Zafran were accorded military ranks Wednesday in recognition of their service to the state and their years of suffering. The three are the last surviving members of Operation Susannah, an Israeli spy and sabotage network.
Entry on the Lavon Affair, Wikipedia:
The aim of the 1954 Israeli Mossad project, codenamed Operation Suzannah was to bomb United States installations in Egypt, such as the United States Information Service offices, and blame Arabs, hoping it would harm Egyptian-American ties. It became known as the Lavon Affair or the Unfortunate Affair (Hebrew: העסק הביש pronounce: haesek habish), after the Israeli defense minister Pinchas Lavon who was forced to resign because of the incident.
Israeli Mossad agents from "Unit 131" planted bombs in several buildings, including a United States diplomatic facility, and intentionally left behind evidence implicating Arabs as the culprits. The conspiracy was intended to disrupt U.S. relations with Egypt but one of the bombs detonated prematurely and the Egyptian police swiftly found one of the terrorists. This arrest quickly led to the capture of eleven of the thirteen members of the spy ring. Some of the spies were Israeli, while others were Egyptian Jews recruited by Mossad. Two of the conspirators were sentenced to death and executed. Six others were sentenced to lengthy prison terms.

The legacy of the Lavon Affair was especially unpleasant for Egyptian Jews and for Jews living in other Arab countries. They faced suspicion as a potential Fifth column and even persecution (including having their banks accounts frozen). While the Lavon affair may have acted as one catalyst for emigration to Israel, it could add little to the overall persecution of Jews which started roughly at 1948, and which reached a peak in the wake of the 1956 Suez War, when the Egyptian government expelled almost 25,000 Egyptian Jews and confiscated their property, and sent approximately 1,000 more Jews to prisons and detention camps. The Lavon Affair also generated deep suspicion of Israeli intelligence practices and encouraged speculation and conspiracy theories that terrorist attacks against Arab and American targets could be the result of Israeli false flag intelligence operations or agent provocateurs working on behalf of Israeli intelligence, a belief that is still popular (especially in Arab countries).

Keep up the good work!
David Duke
Is this really the irrelevant and race baiting thug Duke, or a false-flag operation of its own?
It looks like it. That might be a post you want to remove, Issandr. Even if it's not him, it's some other crazy racist.
It's quite funny. Here in Bahrain, a local Salafi group invited David Duke to give a lecture!! Obviously the thing that they both have in common is anti-Semitism. Strange bedfellows.
When I started this blog, I decided that I would never ban comments unless the person started being abusive to myself or other users. This is partly because I knew some of the discussions we would be having, particularly on the Israeli-Arab conflict, would be bitterly divisive. I wanted to make sure that while the posts obviously have my personal bias on this issue, the debate in the comments would be free.
David Duke, if it is him and I think it is, has a well-known association with the KKK (which he led in the 1970s) and white supremacist groups in the United States. He also has a classically anti-Semite view of Jews. I denounce pretty much everything he stands for.
Mr. Duke, if you are reading this, you may have noticed by my name that I am an Arab. That makes me a Semite, and when you are anti-Jewish I think you do not only attack Jews, but any minority group (and I belong to several.) Do not think that your distaste for Israel and its policies has anything to do with mine, which is moved by the plight of the Palestinians rather than hatred of Jews.
That being said, I will not bar you from posting comments -- but I will probably just ignore them in the future. I urge other readers to do the same.
I'm glad you won't think of deleting the Duke post. Hadn't been here for awhile and was very interested to see the comment on this story.
Hoped to hear from an Israeli that put forth their story. What that might be?
But when I saw the Duke post I thought, wow, this is history!
I mean, me, a waitress in Atlanta, gets to read a real Arab person's opinions(during the first Gulf War I went to the main library and the newest book they had on the ME was about Saudi development circa 1980) and by golly, here's David Duke, American stock bad guy, doing the same thing!
These internets are truly incredible!

Zionists are not just the enemy of the Muslim peoples but to all racial families that want to defend their heritage and freedom without influence from Jewish supremacists.
Nidal Kablan of Syria is considered that country's most promenent journalist. I thought you might be interested in an interview Mr. Kablan did with Dr. David Duke, mostly for getting a perspective of the current mood in Syria from a well respected Syrian, who understands the threat to all people posed by Jewish supremacists.
