MAJOR ISRAELI SHIPPING FIRM ENDORSES DUBAI PORTS WORLD

A video grab from CNN shows reporter Wolf Blitzer reporting on Israel's largest shipping line

endorsing the takeover of six major U.S. ports by Dubai Ports World March 2, 2006. Dubai Ports World $6.85 billion acquisition of Britain's P&O will close on Friday or Monday, despite an additional 45-day review by the U.S. Government in response to security concerns, a U.S Treasury Department official said on Thursday.

Notice that the story is more than a week old, but even then the reporters at Yahoo knew very well that there was NO TAKEOVER of any major ports at all ~ that it was a rather minor terminal acquisition ~ didn't even involve a lot of money as that sort of thing goes.

So, was it Yahoo or AP that was spreading the false propaganda first?

What does an huge Israeli shipping firm know for goodness sake. Dont they know that we(Some on FR, Sean Hannity, etc) have decided its their best interest that this Dubai corporation be denied to save Israel. Next time have Israeli business, or trade and Govt officials check in Mr Sean Hannity and others before they talk to CNN.

More evidence that the UAE hates us
