Egyptian 'demonstrators' were paid to storm Israeli embassy
A report in the Egyptian newspaper al-Ahram on Sunday claims that Egyptian 'demonstrators' were paid to storm the Israeli embassy in Cairo ten days ago. A source explained to Al Ahram that participants were assembled the day before the attack and taken by "luxury tourist buses" to eat a "lavish dinner." They were told they need to take revenge against Israel "for our children who were killed on the border."Of course, there's one small detail missing from this otherwise believable story: Who paid for it? The implication is that the Egyptian government did. Hmmm.
According to the report, envelopes were handed out to each participant with money ranging from five to eleven thousand pounds, and all agreed to gather the next day at 5 p.m. "in various locations such as the zoo and the field of Cairo University, [and] to go to the embassy and create chaos."
Hundreds of Egyptians stormed the building housing Israel's mission in Cairo on September 9, throwing embassy documents and its national flag from windows.
UPDATE 11:26 AM BOSTON TIME
Arutz Sheva reports that an unnamed Egyptian millionaire paid the money.

If it is the Egyptian interim govt (Muslim Bros?) or the military, then the $$billions in U.S. funding to Egypt would have been instantly cut off, right? Since the U.S. has basically been silent about this, the Obama posse may, once again, be perpetrating attacks on our ally, Israel. I do think that if the American people can find out what is going on by the people they elected in '08 (it is hard to do, since the regular media is doing the Obama people's bidding and they have convinced many many Americans that blogs are not a legit source of info), then they will be VOTED OUT in '12.
