| Sudan: Jews behind Darfur conflict |
| 2007-07-30 |
| I knew it! Sudan's defense minister, Abdel Rahim Mohamed Hussein, has accused "24 Jewish organizations" of "fueling the conflict in Darfur" last week in an interview with a Saudi newspaper. Hussein was interviewed during an official state visit to the Saudi kingdom last week. Welcome Sudanese Bag Man! A journalist from Saudi Arabia's Okaz newspaper asked Hussein: "Some people are talking about the penetration of Jewish organizations in Darfur and that there is no conflict there?" Yeah. "Some people"...and we've heard rumors that you're having some problems down there? "The Darfur issue is being fuelled by 24 Jewish organizations, who are making the largest amount of noise over the issue, and using the Holocaust in their campaigning," the Sudanese defense minister replied. I thank you for that softball question. Did I hit it far enough out of the park? Hussein added that the Darfur conflict was driven by "friction between farmers and herders and shepherds. Among the biggest problems is that of water, which is used to exploit the differences and fuel the conflict." Ban Ki-moon told me. It's that damn global warming. And, of course, Jews... "Are these Jewish groups supporting (the rebels) financially?," the interviewer from Okaz asked Hussein. Because we all know...they got lots of money. "Yes, they provide political and material support through their control over the media and across American and British circles," Hussein said, adding that Jewish groups were using "all means to fuel these conflicts." How could the we function without our Zionist puppetmasters... He added that Western reports of 200,000 people dying in Sudan were false, and said: "We talk about 9,000 dead as a result of either government or rebel actions". Well at least he didn't say they died in the worldwide obesity epidemic... Several days ago, Sudan's Interior Minister, Zubair Bashir Taha, lashed out at Sudanese refuees who had sought asylum in Israel, and accused "Israeli authorities of encouraging the Sudanese refugees to come to their country." He added that his ministry was "very confused" by Sudanese citizens who came to Israel." I mean why would anyone wanna leave this garden spot? |

| #2 I doubt if there is one Jewish person in Dafur. If there is and he's there on his own accord - he's an idiot. |
