Introduction
"ISRAEL
REPORTED DEVELOPING 'ETHNO BOMB'. THIS BIOLOGICAL WEAPON WOULD HARM ARABS, BUT
NOT JEWS, ISRAELI SOURCES SAY"
Regarding this issue, and as usual in respond to the
important news, I wrote this article about this very important issue to be
published in "Almasry" newspaper from Montreal, Canada in the
November 1998 issue.
This article has been removed fearing the concern of
some Egyptian and Jews groups, they tried many times to persuade me not to
write any thing against the Zionist or USA.
Effort will be made in other direction, and I hope
that I will be able to find other papers that are willing to continue the fight
with me against the control of Zionist groups.
The original article was prepared in Arabic so it
might be not well translated into English, however the Arabic original is
available to be faxed.
I would like to note that it is not the only article
written about this issue, it first appeared in at least one Israeli newspaper
then published in "Sunday Times" then in "The Montreal
Gazette", where I found it is important to be written with an Egyptian,
Arabic feeling.
The Article, originally written in Arabic
In
spite of Sphinx' Nose
By

Nov, 1998
What a beauty to see a scene that returns your
memory back, a memory that never stopped, but it is usually in need to be
recalled from the background of your mind. It was the cover page of
"Elmahrossa" paper that brought to me many of those memories and
thoughts. It is a scene that returns to us memories we forget or tried to
neglect.
That scene presents many thoughts and stories and
brings to our mind, the history, the present and our future, all together. But that scene also brings to us sad memories
in what remains from Sphinx "Abi-Alhawl" nose, Sphinx has been built
to remain strong defending the Pyramids, this sphinx is a lesson still
remaining to our day.
He represents the ability to defend with a sad look
at his face that has no nose after being destroyed by Napoleon. When he tried
to destroy all Sphinx but succeed only in removing his nose.
Napoleon has gone as did many other invaders, but
only Sphinx remains to represent the people fighting for the future while his
face full of the sadness because of his lost nose. All of us know what the nose represents to
us, it represents the ability to fight and defend our right.
The broken nose fills our heart with sad feeling for
days without any law or principals, people looking only to what enters their
pockets and not concerned about the source or the price.
The problem becomes bigger and bigger, when our
surrender becomes the first step in the killing of our children and our people.
We know it is forbidden that Arabs to own any weapon could harm even the
feeling of their enemy, it is forbidden for Arabs to defend or even imagine
that they have the right to defend themselves against their enemy
"Zionism".
All this has come to my mind when I read the article
that has been published in "Sunday Times" and in " The Montreal
Gazette" later. We are quoting from
the Sunday Times article.
"…Israel is working on a biological weapon that would harm Arabs
but not Jews, according to Israeli military and Western intelligence
sources. The weapon targeting victims by
ethnic origin. In developing their "ethno-bomb", Israeli scientists
are trying to exploit medical advances by identifying distinctive genes carried
by some Arabs then create a genetically modified bacterium or virus.
The intention is to use the ability of viruses and certain bacteria to
alter the DNA inside their host's living cells. The scientists are trying to
engineer deadly micro-organisms that attack only those bearing the distinctive
genes.
The program is based in the biological institute in Nes Tziyona, the
main research facility for Israel's clandestine arsenal of chemical and
biological weapons.
A scientist there said the task was hugely complicated because both
Arabs and Jews are of the Semitic origin. But he added: " They have
however, succeeded in pinpointing a particular characteristic in genetic
profile of certain Arab communities.
The disease could be spread by, spraying the organisms into the air or
putting them in water supplies.
The research mirrors biological studies conducted by South African
scientists during the apartheid era and revealed in testimony before the truth
and reconciliation commission. The idea is parallels with the genetic
experiment of Dr. Josef Mengele the nazi scientists at Auschwitz.
Dedi Zucker a member of the Knesset, the Israeli Parliament, denounced
the research stating that "Morally, based on our history and our tradition
and our experience such a weapon is monstrous and should be denied".
Some exports said that although the concept of an ethnically targeted
weapon was feasible, the practice aspects of creating one were enormous.
Dr. Dean Goosen, head of the South African chemical and biological
warfare plant, said his team was ordered in the 1980s to develop a
"pigmentation weapon" to target only black people and his time
discussed spreading a disease in beer, maize or even vaccinations but never
managed to develop one.
However, a confidential Pentagon report warned last year that
biological agents could be genetically engineered to produce new lethal weapon.
William Cohen, the U.S. defence secretary, revealed that he received reports of
countries working to create "certain types of pathogens that would be
ethnic-specific". A senior Western intelligence source confirmed last week
that Israel was one of the countries Cohen had mind.
The "ethno-bomb" claims have been given further credence in
Foreign Report, a Jane's publication that closely monitors security and defence
maters. It reports unnamed South African sources as saving Israeli scientists
have used some of the South African research in trying to develop an
"ethnic bullet" against Arabs."
I think it is enough, what we read from the article
that has been published in The Sunday Times, and the time has come to return
back to Sphinx "Abi-Alhawl" to ask him, what about us Arab what do we
eat? From where do we import the fertilisers and the insecticides and some of
the grain for our food? We would like to ask Sphinx about our children, since
he was there for five thousand years, and he will remain there more then any
one. We would like to ask our relatives here, how they will receive this
information and what is their reaction to that. We would like to ask our
relative in our homeland how they are going to deal with this nightmare? For
those who live in the occupied land, how they are living with all this
circumstances?
We will be back to Sphinx to ask him " Did the
action of Napoleon increase your strength? Or will you be one of the victims of
the -ethno-bomb-"?
