Yossi Sarid is a leftist Israeli who used to be a Knesset member a former minister and long time member in the Merertez-Yachad leftist party in Israel. Mr Sarid said in interview with Egyptian Daily Al Ahram last year 2007 that the Israeli army executed 250 unarmed Egyptian soldiers at the end of the 1967 war describing it as a war crime. Despite he did not see the controversial documentary that opened a big wound for Egyptians yet he said that he was aware that that the Israeli troops carried away out war crimes against Arab Soldiers in that War.
He may believe that it would be hard after 40 years to punish them but he was sure that history would not let them go.
Well for sure History won’t let them go with all the war crimes that they have done.
The USS Liberty is from one of the enigmas in the six days war , it may be related to our case here and it may not. The theories about reason behind the Israeli attack on the warship did not stop till now
Beside being a possible indirect witness to the mass murder operations of Egyptian POWs in Al Arish , USS Liberty was intended to be a pawn in a bigger chess game , a bigger conspiracy between the United administration at that time and Israel.
In fact it was based upon an older plan the United States administration or rather the old hawks had put during the Bay of the Pigs and Cuban Missile crisis era,the same plan which resurfaced again among the 9/11 conspiracy theories that says the United States administration would send military units “without the knowledge of the people nor the military elements” to some place and sabotage them accusing their enemies of its destruction to the level that would give it the excuse in front of the American public and international community to go to where against these enemies.

On the 5th of March 2008 the Administrative court in Cairo issued a
historical Verdict; according to it the Egyptian Foreign has to investigate the allegations that the IDF had killed Egyptian POWs in the wars of 1956 and 1967The court ordered the ministry to prepare a list with the names and numbers of the POWs killed by the IDF.The importance of that rule is that it is an official obligation on the Foreign ministry ,it should do it. They should open an immediate inquiry about this important file.This court order comes as the end of the long , very long Suit case filed against the State filed by Ex-Pows , eye witnesses and POWs families . The representative lawyer who filed the Suit is Wahid El-Oksori , the head of Egyptian Arab socialist Party and a veteran officer.This is very important court order , it does not recognize the crimes but it orders the Foreign ministry to investigate the allegations ,it opens the door officially ,still I doubt that the Foreign ministry will obey the court’s order and it will not be the first time , or the first ministry or governmental authority that will ignore a court’s order. By the way about the list with names and numbers of the POWs , they can be easily done with the records of the reported missing officers and Soldiers from 1956 and 1967 from the Egyptian army archives. I just want to add something , I am sorry for the lack of updates lately.
Do you remember the mass grave for Muslims in Eilat last month ?? Already the Defense and National security committee in the Egyptian assembly should have discussed it yesterday ,unfortunately there were no news regarding this discussion as yesterday the El-Malt’s CAO report was the main topic in the media for the last two days and seriously I have to say it was much important and it is expected to take all the attention whether from the media or the members of Parliament.
On the other hand there is a great historical debate about the mass grave and its location , also it is expected thing , Um Rashrash is already a center of debate of whether it is an Egyptian land or not .
I have just recieved the news which will be among the newspapers headlines tomorrow “Thursday the 10th of January 2008″ , a new mass grave has been found in North Sinai .
I do not have more information now but insh Allah
I will have more information tomorrow including the exact location of the mass grave .
As primary information this mass grave seemed to be from the 1967 Egyptian POWs mass graves
The mass grave that was found in “Um Rashrash” at Eilat is believed by many parties in Egypt including military experts that it belongs to the Egyptian army officers and soldiers who were killed in the village in year 1949 in the “Operation Uvdah “ which was led by the current Israeli President Shimon Perez.
On the next 13th of January 2007, the Egyptian Parliament will discuss the case based on the request of PM “Talaat El-Sadat” , the request was a demand to the committee of the National security in the Egyptian assembly to discuss the findings of the mass grave as a possible mass grave for Egyptian soldiers and officers who were killed in 1949 in the Operation “Uvdah”. PM “El-Sadat” in statement for Al-Arabiya.net said that it is important that the Egyptian foreign ministry and other specialized official parties in Egypt to follow the case to know to whom this mass grave belongs to. He continued saying that he believed that the mass grave belongs to the Egyptian force that was in “Um Rashrash” when Perez and his Israeli force entered the village and that it would be easy to check from the names and the history of those 350 officers and soldiers from their family if the regime cooperated this time and did not act as in the Previous POWs case.
First I did not receive yet from the Al-Aqsa foundation , hopefully they will reply on my requests.
Second the Al-Jazeera made a report about it
Third here are the new information and new photos
It is believed according to Al-Jazeera that this mass grave goes back to 1948 war between the Arabic armies and the Israeli Army. If this is true then we will have war crimes against the Arab armies older than 1956 committed by the IDF because according to the Al-Aqsa foundation which is the only Arabic Islamic party investigated the mass grave ,the position of the bodies and their remains go with the position of people who were executed ,someone must have executed them and according to the findings they were Muslims , they had not been shot by other Muslim Arabs for sure in 1948 as all the Arab armies were together not against each other
First of all Happy new year to everyone
Second of all I am sorry that there was lack of updates in the website ,I am sorry it is my mistake ,I apologize again
Third , I know about this news from couple of days “thanks to dear friend Wael Abbas“ but I did not publish anything because I did not have any information more than that the Israeli press was speaking about mass grave for Egyptian POWs found in Eilat / Um Rashrash in Israel , and so I could not publish anything without any confirmation especially I felt that it could be among the current war of the words between the Egyptian regime and the Israeli officials.It seemed illogical to me that the Israeli Press itself would speak about Mass grave for the Egyptian POWs inside Israel itself proving the occurrence of war crimes ,it did not make a sense not to mention I searched every single Israeli newspaper on the web and I did not find anything still I kept it in my mind
The only and the first website in English from its kind , Allah
bless the one who made it , bless his hands to stay all that time to do that wonderful job ,seriously yes it is an old fashioned website and needs a new look but it is a great golden mine
The Egyptian Perspective as you never seen before ,I recommend you to read what is in the website especially regarding the gap

Had the Israeli crossing westwards the canal realized the military objective of Israel ?
The objective of Israeli crossing from the east (Sinai) to the west was to:
For all those who are skeptical about our victory please read this wonderful study by the American Major J.C. Moulton of United States Air Force from the Marine Corps University Command and Staff College published in year 1997
