Angry crowd turns on journalists reporting embassy attack in Egypt - CNN
[...]
When Margaret Warner, a correspondent with the PBS program "Newshour" managed to get the vehicle moving away from the crowd, men threw stones at the departing vehicle.
Amer had few words to describe the terrifying ordeal. "They were animals," she said.
Other Egyptian journalists told CNN they were also attacked Saturday while trying to report near the Israeli embassy.

I am going to say this again. Why are female reporters sent over there? CNN knows that all journalists are endangered over there, especially women. CNN and other news outlets, “Protect your women!”

OMG! You mean, we supported these animals in their coup against Mubarak and now they are turning on US? I am so sad that this Admin and their toadies in the Media have helped Egypt and Libya to become Islamofascist States. No more tourism to the pyramids, not safe for Christians or anyone other than Muslims anymore. Our money underwrote the rebels in both countries and they still want us dead. Obama, YOU OWN THIS!

Because not sending them would be "sexist" and as we know, political correctness trumps common sense, on the left.

Is this Dina Amer related to the former Field Marshal Abdel Hakim Amer? He was arrested after ordering his army in the Sinai to retreat in the 67 war, and was given Rommel’s choice: take this pill or be tried for treason.

The disorderly flight of his army resulted in its being caught in the Gidi and Mitla passes by Israeli tac air
and incinerated with napalm.

Poor liberal lefty Dina Amir. Any news crew that allows with it, a women on the streets of “Arab Spring” Islamofascist Cairo is seeking a precipitous paradigm adjustment.

At least poor Dina has a twitter account that bears sober reflection:/sarc

What a farce! Dumber than dirt.

This can’t be right. Our media has made it perfectly clear that they are JOURNALISTS first and AMERICANS second - remember? Terrorists love them because they are so proud of taking every opportunity to turn on our troops and expose the greed and selfishness of Americans. You surely don’t mean that after all these years of turning their back on their troops and their country that they are STILL not appreciated and loved by the world as a whole?

Speaking of Islamo-Arab animalism... This is from the 2000 infamous Ramallah-lynch of 2 Israelis who lost their way and ran into Arab [OMG!] areas.
A British photographer working on a pictorial study of Palestinian refugees stumbled on the event after the initial attack in the Ramallah police station. He did not witness that aspect. He subsequently described what he did see in The Sunday Telegraph, a respected British daily newspaper. The following is an extract:

---

"I had arrived in Ramallah at about 10.30 in the morning and was getting into a taxi on the main road to go to Nablus, where there was to be a funeral that I wanted to film, when all of a sudden there came a big crowd of Palestinians shouting and running down the hill from the police station.

I got out of the car to see what was happening and saw that they were dragging something behind them. Within moments they were in front of me and, to my horror, I saw that it was a body, a man they were dragging by the feet. The lower part of his body was on fire and the upper part had been shot at, and the head beaten so badly that it was a pulp, like a red jelly.

I thought he was a soldier because I could see the remains of the khaki trousers and boots. My God, I thought, they've killed this guy. He was dead, he must have been dead, but they were still beating him, madly, kicking his head. They were like animals.

They were just a few feet in front of me and I could see everything. Instinctively, I reached for my camera. I was composing the picture when I was punched in the face by a Palestinian. Another Palestinian pointed right at me shouting 'no picture, no picture!', while another guy hit me in the face and said 'give me your film!'

I tried to get the film out but they were all grabbing me and the one guy just pulled the camera off me and smashed it to the floor. I knew I had lost the chance to take the photograph that would have made me famous and I had lost my favourite lens that I'd used all over the world, but I didn't care. I was scared for my life.

At the same time, the guy that looked like a soldier was being beaten and the crowd was getting angrier and angrier, shouting 'Allah akbar' - God is great. They were dragging the dead man around the street like a cat toying with a mouse. It was the most horrible thing that I have ever seen and I have reported from Congo, Kosovo, many bad places. In Kosovo, I saw Serbs beating an Albanian but it wasn't like this. There was such hatred, such unbelievable hatred and anger distorting their faces.

The worst thing was that I realised the anger that they were directing at me was the same as that which they'd had toward the soldier before dragging him from the police station and killing him. Somehow I escaped and ran and ran not knowing where I was going. I never saw the other guy they killed, the one they threw out of the window.

I thought that I'd got to know the Palestinians well. I've made six trips this year and had been going to Ramallah every day for the past 16 days. I thought they were kind, hospitable people. I know they are not all like this and I'm a very forgiving person but I'll never forget this. It was murder of the most barbaric kind. When I think about it, I see that man's head, all smashed. I know that I'll have nightmares for the rest of my life."

Yes, a very accurate post. Few know that the Arabs still bear the marks of their ancient gods, those before “Allah”....Marduk,Ninar - Sin, and Bal. That reporter saw it.There is no compassion......none. They were anmals then in those ancient times, and it lurks just below the surface.

It is a violent culture, and its roots show no pity or compassion for fellow human beings.And so it is today.

“I thought that I’d got to know the Palestinians well. I’ve made six trips this year and had been going to Ramallah every day for the past 16 days. I thought they were kind, hospitable people.”

When I read this part, I burst out laughing at the naivete of this fool. I sense that his biggest disbelief was not that these mentally and culturally medieval people are capable of great violence, but that he was fool enough to believe that they weren’t and he is still not convinced that they are.

I take it the multi-culti, Arab Spring stuff isn’t working out as planned for the liberal news organizations.
