British Independent published a very interesting interview with an Israeli ex-death squad Soldier. The former soldier participated in the assassination operation of Jamal Abdel Razeq and another Palestinian militant from 8 years ago. The problem is that those two militants were not killed alone , two bystanders were killed two. The soldier can’t forget up till now how terrible it was to kill innocent civilian . Up till now that soldier has not told his parents and up till now he is suffering from the consequence.
You can read the whole interview here .

Egypt’s oldest English spoken newspaper The Egyptian Gazette published a report today about the Egyptian POWs, it is short an interview with lawyer Farial Abu El-Nagaa whose brother enigneer El-Aidei was killed in the 1967 Egyptian POWs massacres. Mrs. Farial is among the 250 families suing the Israeli government in front of the Egyptain courts after the broadcast of the infamous “Rosh Shaked“.
Now what stopped me in this report today was its introduction :
AN Egyptian lawyer, whose brother was one of some 250 unarmed prisoners of war (POWs) said to be killed in Sinai peninsula by the Israeli army after the 1967 war, has said that while the Egyptians want peace with the Jewish state, the Israeli military involved in the slayings must be punished !!
Said to be killed !!??
Are You kidding me ?? All this and the national Newspaper that is following the newspaper believes that it was said and that they were only 250 !!
The 250 were those who were killed by Shaked but there were thousands who were killed by the rest of the Israeli forces !!?? Read more... (245 words, estimated 59 secs reading time)

Ambassador Mohamed El-Bassiony
according to his confession he went there as an intelligence officer after long career and heading the Israel sector in military intelligence.
He spoke about Ashraf Marwan ,adding more fuel to the fire , complicating the enigmatic case already , he said indirectly or even directly that Marwan was not our man but rather was working for the Israelis at the same time the public media is glorifying the late businessman and engima man as a national hero.
He spoke about Um Al-Rashrash ,he saidt that it was not Egyptian but rather Palestinian, still what he said regarding the remains of the officers found from several months concern us. Read more... (340 words, 1 image, estimated 1:22 mins reading time)

BBC Arabic published a very interesting report about the POWs Swap between the Arab and Israel since 1948. It comes as part of their coverage to the POWs Swap between Lebanon represented by Hezbollah and Israel from three week ago. Of course it is worth to say that the entire report is a complete translation to the Jewish Virtual library based on the IDF numbers and records and so it should not be trusted !!
The report which was translated by Shady El-Kashaf from Gaza traces back the most POWs Swap since the 1948 war,I will summarize it below till year 1967 because already I am having my doubts regarding some numbers concerning the Egyptian POWs , the report claims that the number of the Egyptian POWs were more than the Israeli POWs ,which is untrue according to my humble knowledge in 1973,also it did not mention the number of the Egyptian POWs that actually returned in 1967.

A very interesting article that reflects what the majority of Egyptian thinks and feels regarding the Egyptian POWs
It is written in Arabic by Mr. Ahmed Marzok and it is published in the Egyptian News portal Filbalad , which is one of the most popular and successful fast growing websites not only in Egypt but in the Arab world
I highy recommend reading it
I will try to translate it , I won’t depend upon the bad google Arabic / English translation because lots of words will lose their meaning

By the way expect more updates soon as there is an important good discovery I found in the USS liberty incident
