Egypt – A possible connection between Israel and the shark attack that left a 70-year-old German woman dead in Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh on Sunday is not unfounded, according to South Sinai Governor Mohamed Abdel Fadil Shousha, quoted by Reuters on Monday.

Some have suggested that the shark attack could have been part of a secret plan by Mossad to harm Egyptian tourism.
“What is being said about the Mossad throwing the deadly shark (in the sea) to hit tourism in Egypt is not out of the question, but it needs time to confirm,” Shousha was quoted as saying by state news site egynews.net, according to Reuters.
Egyptians have previously blamed Israel for other problems such as drug and weapon smuggling, and have said it supports media that seek to portray Egypt in a negative light.
According to local diving experts in Sharm el-Sheikh, shark attacks are extremely rare in the area and many were baffled by why so many tourists were attacked in the Red Sea in recent weeks.
“Egypt is full of rumors and one does not know what to believe,” Gasser Mohamed, a diving instructor at CFun Divers center in South Sinai told Reuters. “I see that there are a lot of sharks in the sea and the possible rarity of tuna fish due to over-fishing seems to be causing the attacks.
This is not surprising for those who follow how Egyptian media portray the Jews and Israel. It would not be an understatement to say that Egyptian media anti-Semitic propaganda is almost as vicious and as hateful as Nazi Germany anti Jewish propaganda during the 1930’s.
The real crime is the fact this sickening state sponsored media anti-Semitism is underreported in Israel and mainstream media.
My milk is spoiled blame the Mossad, my cat died blame the jews, It`s raining blame the Mossad, it`s cold outside blame the Mossad. Here is Antisemitism being born. All Egyptians get a life!!!
Yeah, sounds as if Mossad agents dressed as sharks and attacked the tourists. They also buy sharks on the shark market and every so often export them to Egyptian waters. Whereas the Egyptians buy plenty of bull…
No doubt these sharks have “laser beams attached to their heads”
Not a bad start for a new Mosad leader (if it’s true)
The Ten Makkos must have been a Mossad plot too. Moshe Rabbeinu worked under cover.
I didn’t realize that the Mossad or anyone else could train sharks to attack tourists. Do they teach them how to differentiate a tourist from a fisherman by feeding them tourists while training them?
This is almost comical if it weren’t so scary.
People can’t do this sort of thing.
If the Mossad can do this, then Israel would have a lot less problems today LOL.
and i’ve been trying to train my goldfish to speak for years.i better go over to the kiria and try to find a mosad agent.at last there may be somene who knows how to do it.
how do such stupid,rediculous people run a country?
Given that over 100 million Moslems still believe that the 9/11 attacks were due to either an American or Israeli plot, and given that the rabidly anti-Semitic forgery, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, is still a best-seller in many countries around the world, and given the ongoing portrayal of Jews as on the one hand subhuman and on the other hand capable of causing all sorts of diabolical harm, it is not really surprising that an Egyptian official could entertain this notion and not be ashamed to say it to the media.
I knew Mitzriim are stupid, but not that stupid!
As stupid as they come
Just goes to show a fool is born every minute. Are people that dumb to believe this??? Guess so they also believed in change
for the better in the USA and got change for garbage
Were the sharks wearing yarmulkes? how did they know?
Right, because we have a whole school of stealth robot sharks hanging out in a port in Ashdod, just waiting to do our bidding.
Here, fishie fishie… go munch on the yummy Arabs… hope your GPS holds up in the water…
Ddid the shark make a brocha acharonah?
Egypt is blaming Israel for their drug and weapon smuggling, when it is under the watchful eyes of the Egyptians that rockets and missiles are being smuggled into Gaza as we speak. Egypt also accuses Israel of portraying Egypt in a negative light, when it is the Egyptian newspapers that spew hate daily including pushing blood libels against Israel and Jews.
If this is how Egypt acts, what are we then expecting from the Arabs in Israel? With whom are we going to make peace? With people who still want to destroy us?
Hey Egypt, it is the Israeli media that portrays you in a good light and portrays us in the worst light possible. We are the ones that should be angry.
I think we should find and arrest the person that leaked about this, one of Mossad’s top secrets, to that Egyptian governor. No outsider was supposed to know that Israel has developed a way to mind control sharks! What will happen when the public discovers Mossad can control the weather too?
Maybe the Mossad should arrange for quantities of Gefilte Fish to be dropped into that area of the Red Sea and really confuse the heck out of everyone there.
