The Pro-Mubarak Side...

...brings out the "it's the Joooooos" meme. Sandmonkey's tweeter pals respond:

"Mehwar is claiming protesters are trained in the US by Jews . NICE!"

"The Girl on Mehwar is beautiful. So emotional. Propaganda at its best."

"Dear mubarak .. I admit u succeeded a lot of ignorants who want to keep their current situation but never run out of hashish.."

"And on the phone a relative saying the army caught an Israeli engineer near their home!"

"This Interview on El Mehwar totally won the best joke of the day.. Come on guys, let me hear some applause here. She earned it."

"oh em jee monkey! seems we've been tricked into revolting by them jews again. bummer!"

And yet, despite Mubarak's best attempts, morale remains strong:

"all entrances to #Tahrir seem secure except nr Museum but we are not retreating, seem to be increasing"

"I have twenty five stitches in my head and and I can't see with my left eye, but yet am going back to tahrir tomorrow"

"Anti-Mubarak protesters are descending on downton in the thousands. They are not giving up Tahrir."

"Why is what's happening in Tahrir the protesters fault. They didn't shut the net, or instate the curfew, or withdraw the police"

"yesterday they were 2 million and not one incident, today Mubarak's people come in and hell breaks loose. coincidence?"

"Seeing many tweets on attacks against journalists today in #Egypt. None of this happened before pro-Mubarak goons stepped out of their holes"

"People telling me, The Army sold us out!"

That's what I was thinking yesterday. All that friendliness was a ruse. At least I wasn't the only one who fell for it.

"have u seen the national and state media coverage? They are blaming the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and Israel. habal."

"Vodafone is fucked. They're promoting Mubarak with broadcast SMS and denying any other SMS service? ARGH!"

"so they are accusing protesters to be zionist american agents? saba7ek foll :)"

"dude, come on. please don't tell me u believe this. Israel & the US wants Mubarak in power."

Trouble is, the West, including Israel, is not so idealistic or hopeful. That's the trouble with "not forgetting the past". One could argue, remembering the past condemns you to repeating it as well.

"omar suleiman for an interim government till parliamentary then presidential elections. baseetah."

No one trusts anyone.
