Israel Charged with Creating Flu Virus
On January 31, 2006, the Syrian government daily Al-Thawra published an article by columnist Abd Al-Rahman Ghunaym suggesting that Israel created the Avian flu virus in order to damage the "genes carried only by Arabs." The article further speculates that Israel may have planted the virus in East Asia in order to mislead the world, and that is why the disease first appeared in that remote region. Another possibility given is that the virus was created to attack the "yellow race - especially in China and Vietnam" which are "rising powers" that threaten the exclusive American hegemony over the world. The Zionists are capable of attempting this [risky] adventure if [they have] a preventive treatment or a [cure for the disease"].

US Anti-Defamation League Again Denies 1915 Genocide
Abraham Foxman, the Chairman of the Anti-Defamation League Jewish organization in the U.S. declared that organization's position in connection with the events of 1915 has not changed and they continue supporting Ankara in that issue. According to the Beirut based Azdag newspaper, Foxman also expressed hope that the latest Turkish-Israeli tension will be overcome as Turkish-Jewish strong friendship has always existed. In August 2007 Foxman had responded to protests against ADL's denials of the Armenian Genocide. The Boston Globe then reported: "The national director of the Anti-Defamation League bowed to pressure from both the Jewish and Armenian communities yesterday and officially acknowledged the genocide of Armenians at the hands of Ottoman Turks more than 90 years ago. In doing so, Abraham H. Foxman reversed years of ADL policy and a position he had reaffirmed when he fired the ADL's New England regional director, Andrew H. Tarsy, for defying the national organization and acknowledging the genocide.
'We have never negated but have always described the painful events of 1915-19018 perpetrated by the Ottoman empire against Armenians as massacres and atrocities,' Foxman said in a written statement. But upon reflection, Foxman continued, "The consequences of those actions were indeed tantamount to genocide.' "

Arab New Source Blames USA for Terrorist Attacks in Jordan
Muhammad Al-Rumaihi, Kuwaiti columnist in an article in the Saudi daily Al-Watan, accused the Arab media of conveying a distorted message that led the Arab public to justify terrorism: "After the cruel acts of murder in the Jordanian capital, I listened to the British [Arabic language] radio channel that broadcasts from the city of Al-Zarqaa, the birthplace of Mus'ab Al-Zarqawi. I heard the announcer declare that the individual names Al-Zarqawi does not [really] exist, that he is an invention, and that the bombings were perpetrated by the 'Americans.' There are tens of thousands who think like him. Our media, whether deliberately or not, supports illogical notions of this sort to the point where [people] believe them without question…."
