SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION: IRAQ ISRAEL
1. SUMMARY: WARNING AGAINST ISRAELI PENETRATION IN IRAQ AND
EUROPEAN OPINION REGARDING ISRAEL DOMINATED COVERAGE IN UAE PRINT
AND ELECTRONIC MEDIA. AN EDITORIAL IN "AL KHALEEJ" NOTED THAT
THE EUROPEAN OPINION IS RESPECTED AT TIMES AND NEGLECTED AT
OTHERS. ANOTHER EDITORIAL IN "AL BAYAN" NOTED ISRAEL'S ATTEMPTS
TO SNEAK INTO IRAQ. END SUMMARY.
2. COMMENTING ON EUROPEAN PUBLIC OPINION, THAT IS RESPECTED AT
TIMES AND NEGLECTED AT OTHERS, SHARJAH-BASED PAN-ARAB DAILY "AL-
KHALEEJ" EDITORIALIZED 11/05:
"... THE REASON IS THAT WESTERN DEMOCRACY BECOMES CRIPPLED AND
ONE-EYED, AND SOMETIMES PARALYZED AND BLIND WHEN IT COMES TO THE
ZIONIST ENTITY AND ITS BABYSITTER THE U.S., AND THAT IS BECAUSE
OF THE FEAR OF HAVING THE SWORD OF 'ANTI SEMITISM' ON THE NECKS
AND THIS IS USED BY ISRAEL TO DOMINATE THE WORLD... WHAT IS ALSO
SHAMEFUL IS THAT EUROPE IS DEPRIVING ITS PEOPLE OF THEIR RIGHT OF
EXPRESSING THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID TO MAKE ISRAEL AND
THE U.S. ANGRY."
3. NOTING THAT THE IRAQI GOVERNING COUNCIL'S STATEMENT REGARDING
THE NON-EXISTENCE OF ISRAEL IN IRAQ IS NOT TRUE, "AL KHALEEJ"
EDITORIALIZED 11/04:
"... ISRAEL IN IRAQ IS A PRACTICAL TRANSLATION OF THE AMERICAN
OCCUPATION OF THIS COUNTRY (IRAQ). HOPES ARE ON THE IRAQI PEOPLE
TO LIBERATE ITS COUNTRY FROM THE OCCUPATION AND THE ZIONIST
INVASION PARALLEL TO IT."
4. COMMENTING ON ISRAEL'S ATTEMPTS TO SNEAK INTO IRAQ, DUBAI-
BASED BUSINESS-ORIENTED "AL BAYAN" EDITORIALIZED 11/04:
"... THE HOSTILE HEBREW COUNTRY IS SEEKING TO GRADUALLY SNEAK
INTO THE LAND OF THE EUPHRATES. THERE IS ISRAELI RESEARCH THAT
SAYS THAT THE ZIONIST ENTITY WILL EARN A PROFIT OF 17.5 BILLION
DOLLARS IN FIVE YEARS AS A RESULT OF THE OCCUPATION OF IRAQ. WE
ARE RINGING THE GONG OF DANGER.. IRAQ, WHICH WE EXPECT TO GATHER
UP ITS WOUNDS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, IS A TARGET FOR ZIONISTS WHO
ARE USED TO SNEAK INTO AREAS TO ACHIEVE THEIR DIRTY GOALS."
