1. Stupid
Howard Immanuelson ,   US   (12.20.10)
What a stupid claim. Yeah, Israeli agents were making arrangements to kidnap Egyptian tourists. Were these the same agents that were responsible for the sharks that were eating people off Egyptian waters? Wouldn't it be best if the Egyptians actually focused on their real problems instead of paranoid drivel like this?
2. Is this April Fool at Christmas Time?
Alan ,   SA   (12.20.10)
3. Were They.....
Eli F. ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (12.20.10)
Dressed as "Sharks"......!!??
4. I'm sure they were experts in shark-training as well.
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (12.20.10)
Such fantasies and concoctions serve Israel's PR well by showing the world the outstanding crediblity of our southern friends. Whatever happened to that magical chewing gum we distributed there that makes Egyptian men impotent?
5. What is eating the Egyptians?!
Talula ,   Israel   (12.20.10)
First we planted man eating sharks and now we are plotting to kidnap? They're all off the deep end!!
6. start with King Mubarak
Mike van Harris ,   Antwerp Belgium   (12.20.10)
To the Egyptian officials please start by arresting King Mubarak. King Mubarak is the leader from this ring.
7. They were arrested for training Sharks At Sharm el Shark
Alan ,   SA   (12.20.10)
8. Conjectur And B.S.
Brazen   (12.20.10)
how convienient that the Israeli's fled unscathed, but they have an eygptian in custody? I'll bet he's willing to spill the beans and give up the whole shpiel right. Trumped up False Witness, this is One Of The TEN COMMANMENTS, you shall NOT bare false witness!!!
9. A small quiz
Salma ,   Palestine   (12.20.10)
read the article carefully to answer the following question:- who stabbed the American tourist in Jerusalem and why ?! The prize for anyone can guess the answer is a trip to Sharm El-Sheikh : )
10. As believable as Mossad putting sharks
DT ,   TA Israel   (12.20.10)
at Sharm el Sheik. Are all Egyptians that stupid ?
11. we also found a huge spying device but it also fled.

13. I warned my brother in law and his wife who are on a MidEast
Rivkah   (12.20.10)
tour of Egypt, the Red Sea, and Petra not to leave the tour group or the hotel to go anywhere alone in Egypt since there are abductions of tourists and entire tour groups there. That did not discourage them from travelling there at this time. Egypt has a reputation for being dangerous that goes back a lot of years. When my niece visited there in the early 1990's she would not leave the home of the friend she was visiting unless accompanied by the family, it was so dangerous.
14. Arabs who are Israelis are hardly spies
JO   (12.20.10)
but criminal opportunists at best. No patriots here. Gaza was one of their offices, tells loads of what type of Israeli they are talking about. As to harming economy of Egypt- utter bull. Sharks are doing that in the Sinai, not Israel and they are not mossad spy sharks, though this stupid thought is entertained by certain Egyptians. Blaming Israel is a quite normal for Egypt. Oh yeah, and tell me what tourists have been kidnapped from the Sinai in the past few years????please real names.
15. #9 Salma
Andy ,   Edmonton, Canada   (12.20.10)
I think I know the answer: Hate-Crazed Muslim men likely Palestinians who use virtually any opportunity to kill Jews or those who they think are Jews. They are motivated to do so by endless provocation in the Arab media and by sycophants like you with your constant taunting and lilting against us. Yesterday you virtually rejoiced in the 'savagery of your people'. Give us all a break and go post hatred on a Darfur site instead. Oh, and about the Sharm El Sheik prize I just won. Keep it. I don't vacation among evil phony people.
16. #9 - Answer
Oren ,   Canada   (12.20.10)
Was it the shark whisperer? Is it hard living a life free of responsibility?
17. LOL!!!
FreeSoul ,   Citizen of Earth   (12.20.10)
Paranoia included free of charge!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! Them Horus folk had better read back a little once they were great.
18. More ridiculous arab tales to cover Egypt's hand
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (12.20.10)
in kidnappings of western tourists. I would say to anybody travelling to Egypt - to think twice as Egypt's 'leaders' are complicit with terrorism. Are they still claiming that Mossad have 'trained' the most untrainable animals (sharks) to kill tourists? These humanoids are insane.
19. Isarel should dennounce it and help investigate
Josh   (12.20.10)
If any of ours is doing this, we need to stand on their necks. Torah gives no pity to kidnappers. Lets be a Torah nation and speak up at how disgusting this is. We have enough problems with human trafficers in the land. To the current admisitration, strap on a pair and say what needs to be said. Light to all nations.
20. 2 israelis fled. 2 million western tourists too.
eporue ,   europe   (12.20.10)
best thing to do on sinai...
21. Why the surprise?
sandy goldberg ,   Washington DC   (12.21.10)
Israel has engaged in enough illegal and "stupid" activities around the world to make this claim plausible. It even bites the hand that feeds it, i.e. it spies on the U.S. it is a bastard nation among nations. shameful.
