Turkey has evidence that Israel was behind Egypt coup: Erdoğan

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoðan has claimed that Israel was behind the July 3 military coup in Egypt, adding that Ankara has evidence as to the country’s involvement in President Mohamed Morsi’s overthrow. ● “Now the West starts to say democracy is not the ballot box or not only the box but we know that the ballot box is the people’s will,” Erdoðan said Aug. 20 at an expanded meeting of the provincial chairs of his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). The prime minister criticized Western countries' stance vis-à-vis Egypt’s coup, saying, "The West should [understand] the description of democracy, they need to learn it.” “This is what has been implemented in Egypt. Who is behind this? Israel. We have evidence,” the prime minister said, citing a meeting between a French intellectual and the Israeli justice minister in France before the 2011 elections.

Roi Tov: Egyptian Dictator and Israel Declare Mutual Love ● Chilling pictures are being published on the ongoing violent events in Egypt. The scariest one is reproduced [on the right here]. It is a snapshot from the Egyptian television taken yesterday; it shows General Abdul Fatah al-Sisi. For the fist time in that media, it shows a message in English. It reads "Egypt Fighting Terrorism" in the colors of the Egyptian flag. It illustrates the infiltration-depth of Western-propaganda. After all, on 3 July 2013, the enlightened USA-educated general, true promoter of democracy and selfless protector of the people, had violently removed President Mohamed Morsi and suspended the Egyptian constitution. He removed a democratically elected president and declared the people attempting to protect democracy "terrorists." Yet, he forgot to blame al-Qaeda; probably the CIA will fine him for this embarrassing overlook. ● Lately, Egypt is closely cooperating with the IDF. Both armies are attempting to deal with the Bedouin insurrection in the area, to the extent that on August 8, an Israeli killer-drone was recently used on Egyptian ground (Israeli Drone Bombs Egypt). The AP news agency had quoted two senior Egyptian defense sources claiming that the Israeli airstrike had been coordinated with the Egyptian authorities. Dr. Ahmed Aref—Muslim Brotherhood Media Spokesman—published a statement saying there was ongoing attempts within the army to redefine "enemy" in a bid to turn the army's power inward. "We hear about the crimes of the Zionist enemy along our borders as well as an infiltration of our borders and the killing of Egyptians," he said.
