Benghazi War Cemetery ransacked

We went to set them free and this is how they repay us.

Clint_NZ is an unknown quantity at this point
This is sick, my blood boiled when I saw it. I am picking this is the work of a few idiots who have no knowledge of the background of the cemetery, their minds are so poisoned with propaganda that they see anything linked to west and attack it. However that doesnt excuse what they have done, I hope karma is a bitch.

Sounds like another myth in the making- as in my view - we did not set about to "liberate" the - Cyrenicans - Lybians- or the Tripolitanians from the Italians- but rather to pull Mussolini down a few pegs by the astounding victory at Beda Fomm - then Ethiopia - then the Germans reacted to boost the Italians.

In fact the Italians did more good in Tripolitania in cultivating the Desert to grow fruit and Vegetables whereas the indigenous people had done nothing - so we war just as big a menace as the Italians were.

Clint has it about right - this is sheer hatred against the West ...

Cheers

There is a comment on there that suggests this is an old video, and as such was only posted to fuel the fires.

It's a silent video, with no context and doesnt appear on any news sites.

In fact, a look at the profile of the user who uploaded the video tells you all you need to know. This person has a clear agenda, and as a result you cannot trust that the video is described correctly.

Interests:finding information on the evil scum that runs the world, we are all prisoners but we cannot see the bars that keep us locked in, If we don't make a stand now our children and grandchildren will pay in blood for our ignorance or indifference. the greatest trick that satan done was to convince the people of the world he doesnt exist, TPTB do exactly the same as satan(the eliete and royals all pray to satan, do not be fooled into laughing this off thats what they bank on, people thinking it's absurd). we think we have the freedom to choose this or that but its a selection that they put in front of us to give the illusion of choice, we need to take notice now

This appears to be more ignorance than anything else. Note that the one stone you see being pulled up bears the Star of David.

Benghazi War Cemetery to be fully restored

It’s now reported from Benghazi that two Commonwealth War Graves cemeteries have been damaged in attacks over the weekend – both the Benghazi War Cemetery and now the Benghazi British Military Cemetery. We are awaiting a detailed report but in both cemeteries, headstones were broken and disfigured. Both cemeteries will be restored to a standard befitting the sacrifice of those commemorated at Benghazi, but this could take some time because we will need to source replacement stones. We will also need to be sure that it’s safe for the detailed work to be carried out, but in the meantime we will ensure that temporary markers are erected over the graves. We have no reports of any maintenance staff being injured in the attack.
Not apparently reported outside Libya and Lebanon is this:

THE DAILY STAR :: News :: Middle East :: Libya apologises for attack on World War II graves

.:Middle East Online::Koran-burning fury spreads: Libya apologises for attack on World War II graves:.

There's a phrase gaining currency: "The religious right are neither". It's a pity they can't see that.

In a way I'm glad my family's war dead are all on Memorials to the Missing.
Noone can desecrate their graves like this.
It's also a times like these I despair at how religion can divide people.

Just watching the newspaper reviews on Sky News. This story is all over the front page of that well-known bastion of tolerance the Mail on Sunday.

As one of the journalists has pointed out, Christian and Jewish cemeteries are regularly desecrated here too. Not usually by Muslims either.

Physician, heal thyself.

Not that I'm suggesting that Mail readers would in any way be affected by its relentless anti-Muslim agenda and continuous linking of stories to Hitler.

Sh*tstorm no doubt breaking out on the Mail website even as I type ...

I dont care whether its muslims, christians or any other religious group responsible for destroying cemeteries. If i had it my way they would be strung up and beaten like those stones.

Good Evening Gentlemen,

Well said! I wholeheartly agree very well put.The story is a little out of date I believe as there are now no immediate plans to replace the stones the graves have been marked with simple metal tags in the meanwhile following a second more destructful attack...the cross of sacrifice was also broken I believe.The Sunday papers are running with it

Best

Cliford
