Remember Alan Hart, the stupid/clever UK journalist that thought it possible that, had Alan Johnston been killed, it just might have been Israel that done it? Yeah? Well now that everyone's known for some time who had him, and Hamas -- who's likely to be blaming the next solar eclipse on the Israelis -- even THEY haven't blamed the Mossad...Alan Hart thinks there's still a chance...a CHANCE, mind...that it was the ZIONISTS who put the dogmusher clan up to doing the deed: Reflections on Alan Johnston's Kidnapping and Release
On the face of it, I seem to be wrong. Alan was abducted by a Mafia-like, Palestinian extended family or clan. For what purpose? Apparently to have Alan as a bargaining chip in a power struggle with Fatah and Hamas.
That is one possible explanation. But in the Middle East nothing, absolutely nothing, is ever what it seems to be. (I think it was Lebanon's last murdered president who once said, "Believe nothing of what you read and only half of what you see." He was speaking about events in his own country, but what he said holds good, generally speaking, for the region. My own rule of thumb for interpreting Zionist statements is to assume they mean the opposite of what is stated).
In my assessment, any attempt to establish the truth about who, really, was responsible for Alan Johnston's abduction must recognise a fact of life – that Palestinian and other Arab groups such as the one that kidnapped the BBC's man are easily penetrated by outside agencies ranging from Israel's secret services to Al Qaeda.
It is by no means impossible that Alan Johnston's kidnappers were acting, knowingly or not, for an outside agency. If so, which one? And for what purpose, actually?
Mind you, he's not actually saying it was the Israelis that instigated it, he's just "asking questions" (and, btw, you can never trust a Zionist). Some people are just too clever to accept the world of the obvious. They need other -- on some level psychically comforting -- explanations.

That about sums it up.

Alan Hart was the British journalist who wrote that if fellow journalist Alan Johnston were killed by his Gaza captors, it must have been the Israelis who did it (see the links). After all, when have the Palestinian Arabs ever... Read More
Horse's ass par excellence, he proffers his never-fool-me flatulance as worldly wisdom when in fact it's nothing more than a self-admiring obduracy and self-inflicted dullity. But none of that for Mr. Never-Fool-Me, who transposes a genuinely worldly wise caution into a mere banality (and "nothing is ever what it seems to be" is of course a caution, not an unmoving dogma).
And yet, for the Alan Harts of the world, it matters only little; they produce and manufacture newsprint that is marketable, no matter how trite and glossed, and that low standard is sufficient.
Boycott any NPR station that broadcasts the BBC news, "entertainment".
Don't contribute to any NPR fundraising marathon that broadcast BBC propaganda.
Actually, sometimes -- rarely -- you really do have to believe the opposite of what a Zionist says.
