Arab press angered by Coptic Church blast
The Egyptian press has reacted angrily to the suicide bombing that targeted a Coptic church in Alexandria on New Year's Day, with several papers saying it was an attack on all Egyptians, not just Christians.
The state and opposition press called on their compatriots to unite in the face of terrorism but two papers suggested the underlying causes of sectarian tension should be tackled.
Elsewhere, Arab commentators speculated about who was behind the bombing, but two writers were concerned that the incident would prompt an exodus of Christians from the region.
EGYPT'S AL-AHRAM
People who think that what happened on Egyptian soil may have been a result of internal friction should reconsider... This cowardly attack... has taken the blinkers off. The message is clear. Egypt is targeted... everyone must urgently help to chop off the serpent's head that is spreading the poison of terrorism in the entire region.
EGYPT'S AL-AKHBAR
This treacherous criminal act not only targeted Egypt's Copts, but also its Muslims. It also targeted Egypt's stability, unity, destination and future... We are all in the same boat and we should join hands to confront those lurking to target Egypt's security.
EGYPT'S AL-JUMHURIYAH
The Egyptians' commitment to national unity increased after the blast at Alexandria's church... Feelings of anger were rampant and calls for unity and retribution grew, perhaps more from Muslims than Christians... this terrorist attack shocked the homeland and broke the hearts of all Egyptians.
ABBAS AL-TARABILI IN EGYPT'S AL-WAFD
I wish the state had taken the necessary precautions and had taken the threats by these militant groups seriously... It is not enough for a Muslim cleric to hug or kiss a Christian cleric.
AHMAD AL-SAWI IN EGYPT'S AL-MASRY AL-YOUM
The real battle is not against terrorism and will not end with the arrest of the sinful perpetrators. The real battle is against the environment that provokes tension.
DIYA RASHWAN IN EGYPT'S NAHDAT MISR
We need legislation to put an end to the Copts' state of frustration and all their problems.
YAHYA RABAH IN PALESTINIAN AL-HAYAT AL-JADIDAH
The explosion killed and injured Egyptians... Copts and Muslims. This shows that the criminal act was directed against Egypt - the fortress of moderation in the Arab world, Africa, and the Islamic world. This was a criminal attempt to undermine its great and enlightened role.
SAUDI AL-RIYADH
Targeting Egypt was not a haphazard act, but was done because Egypt is the powerhouse of a Middle East in crisis. Egypt was also a model of co-existence before it was placed in the line of terrorism by internal and external agents.
AHMAD AL-QUDWAH IN PAN-ARAB AL-ARAB AL-ALAMIYAH
It appears that sectarian incidents in Egypt are on the rise and there are people using these to achieve political objectives with dangerous repercussions.
TALAL AWKAL IN PALESTINIAN AL-AYYAM
The blast... was an extremely dangerous terrorist attack designed to undermine the unity of the Egyptian people. It could ignite a religious feud that could spread outside the Arab Republic of Egypt... All Egyptians agree that this conspiracy was woven by foreign hands and I think that Israel is the number one suspect.
MUHAMMAD JAMAL ARAFAH IN PALESTINIAN FILASTIN
I have no doubt whatsoever that the intelligence service of the Zionist enemy masterminded the criminal explosion that took place outside the al-Qiddissin Church in Alexandria. I also have no doubt that it was carefully prepared in a new way to pin the blame on the demented members of al-Qaeda in an attempt to start a feud between Muslims and Christians.
QATAR'S AL-RAYAH
Initial analysis points the finger at al-Qaeda... Other theories refer to the involvement of external forces that benefit from al-Qaeda's threats because they do not want Egypt to enjoy stability and welfare... They have a long-term aim to make the Copts feel persecuted, fearful and not tolerated, to start thinking about having a separate homeland.
SUBHI ZUAYTAR IN SAUDI AL-WATAN
The coming days will see incentives to make Egyptian Christians emigrate, as was the case in Iraq. Western planes will be ready to fly Egypt's Christians out and Western and Israeli media will reap the benefit.
URAYB AL-RINTAWI IN JORDAN'S AL-DUSTOUR
If the situation continues, it will not take long to declare the Middle East - the cradle of Christianity - Christian-free.
TheNakedTruthInAconfusedWorld
In my heart and mind, it is established behind any shadow of doubt that the evil instigator of what happened in Alexandra, Egypt, is a hand that will benefit from causing deep division between Egyptian Copts and Muslims. Hence this hand is a foreign hand, whether it be internal or external.
The only country in the whole world that wars by deceit and proxy, is Israel and the only terrorist organization that is capable of carrying such atrocity is the Israeli Mossad. And since Both their finger prints and toe-prints are stamped on the incident, logic dictates that the criminal is Israel. the following will show both "How" and the "Behavioral Pattern"
__________________________________________________________
King David Hotel bombing
The King David Hotel bombing was an attack carried out by the militant right-wing Zionist Irgun, on the King David Hotel in Jerusalem on 22 July 1946. 91 people were killed and 46 were injured, with some of the deaths and injuries occurring in the road outside the hotel and in adjacent buildings. The hotel was the site of the central offices of the British Mandatory authorities of Palestine, the Secretariat of the Government of Palestine and Headquarters of the British Forces in Palestine and Transjordan. The attack was the deadliest directed at the British during the Mandate era (1920–1948) The event was described by British authorities, major international publications including the New York Times, and academics as a terrorist attack aimed at civilians. The New York Times linked the Haganah paramilitary group to the Irgun attacks.

Motivation for the bombing
Irgun committed the attack in response to Operation Agatha, known within Israel then and now as "Black Saturday".British troops had searched the Jewish Agency on June 29 and confiscated large quantities of documents about the group's operations and links with violent groups. The intelligence information was taken to the King David Hotel building in Jerusalem.
The building contained the British military command and their Criminal Investigation Division. Security analyst Bruce Hoffman has written that the "Hotel housed the nerve centre of British rule in Palestine". Specifically, the Irgun aimed at destroying the southern wing of the hotel, which housed the Mandate's intelligence records about Irgun, the Hagana, Lehi, and other Jewish paramilitary groups.
Lavon Affair/Operation Susannah
The Lavon Affair refers to a failed Israeli covert operation, code named Operation Susannah, conducted in Egypt in the Summer of 1954. As part of the false flag operation, a group of Egyptian Jews were recruited by Israeli military intelligence for plans to plant bombs inside Egyptian, American and British-owned targets. The attacks were to be blamed on the Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian Communists, "unspecified malcontents" or "local nationalists" with the aim of creating a climate of sufficient violence and instability to induce the British government to retain its occupying troops in Egypt's Suez Canal zone. The operation caused no casualties, except for the members of the cell who committed suicide after being captured.
The operation became known as the Lavon Affair after the Israeli defense minister Pinhas Lavon, who was forced to resign because of the incident, or euphemistically as the Unfortunate Affair or The Bad Business.
Paradoxically, in 2005, the criminal was officially honored with a certificate of appreciation by the Israeli President Moshe Katzav (who has been charged recently with rape of his employees)
USS Liberty
On June 8, 1967, US Navy intelligence ship USS Liberty was suddenly and brutally attacked on the high seas in international waters by the air and naval forces of Israel. The Israeli forces attacked with full knowledge that this was an American ship and lied about it. Survivors have been forbidden for 40 years to tell their story under oath to the American public.
The Attack
After surveying USS Liberty for more than nine hours with almost hourly aircraft overflights and radar tracking, the air and naval forces of Israel attacked our ship in international waters without warning. USS Liberty was identified as a US naval ship by Israeli reconnaissance aircraft nine hours before the attack and continuously tracked by Israeli radar and aircraft thereafter. Sailing in international waters at less than five knots, with no offensive armament, ther ship was not a military threat to anyone.
The Israeli forces attacked without warning and without attempting to contact the US. Thirty four Americans were killed in the attack and another 174 were wounded. The ship, a $40-million dollar state-of-the-art signals intelligence platform, was later declared unsalvageable and sold for scrap.
Motive of the sttack
The planned invasion of the Golan Heights which was set to start a few hours after Liberty's arrival in the area. When Liberty arrived, the invasion was postponed for 24 hours, Liberty was attacked, and the invasion took place the next day. Did they postpone the invasion until Liberty out of the way and unable to report on the war?
It is also possible that USS Liberty was attacked to prevent the ship from reporting a deliberate massacre of 14 Indian United Nations peacekeepers that took place in Gaza shortly before Israel's attack on USS Liberty.
Gaza Flotilla Attack
The Gaza f lotilla raid was a military interception by Israel against six ships of the "Gaza Freedom Flotilla" on May 31, 2010. The flotilla, organized by the Free Gaza Movement and the Turkish Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief (İHH), was carrying humanitarian aid and construction materials, as well as ballistic vests, gas masks, night-vision goggles, and large sums of money, intent on breaking Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip..
Routes of the Gaza-bound flotilla (green) and the Israeli Navy (orange) Shows that the ships were attacked in open seas not national water of Israel which makes Israeli attack an act of piracy.
Five of the ships were apprehended without loss of life or severe injuries. On the MV Mavi Marmara, clashes broke out after activists resisted the Israeli forces. Nine activists were killed (Eight Turkish nationals and a Turkish-American), and dozens of activists and seven Israeli commandos were wounded. Widespread international condemnation followed, Israel-Turkey relations were strained, and Israel subsequently eased its blockade.
Pre-raid sabotage
The IDF or the Mossad may have sabotaged three of the ships before the raid . Israeli deputy defense minister Matan Vilnai hinted that Israel had exhausted covert means of stalling the vessels. He said: "Everything was considered. I don't want to elaborate beyond that, because the fact is there were not up to 10, or however many ships were [originally] planned." A senior IDF officer hinted to the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee of the Knesset, Israel's parliament, that some of the vessels had been tampered with to halt them far from the Gaza or Israeli coast. According to the Israel was accused of sabotaging activist ships in the past but no evidence has been found to back up these claims.
