The Islamists' blatant lies about Morocco... "shameless and shameless"!
Media outlets affiliated with political Islam, specifically the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, persist in their false propaganda against Morocco and its authorities, under the even more mendacious pretext of "supporting Gaza," as if supporting Gaza can only be achieved by attacking Arab regimes, regardless of their differing stances on the ongoing massacre. Since this article is concerned with discussing what has been said against Morocco, we will not address their other attacks against Arab governments in the Levant.
The latest revelation from their social media “stars” was made by Osama Jawish, who attempted to create a trend from an old item that was previously discussed three months ago, namely the Maersk shipments that were said to have stopped at the port of Tangier, en route to Israel. Jawish’s waste was “recycled” and headlines were chosen such as “Morocco and the Mechanism of Genocide: Logistical Support for Israel’s War on Gaza”!!, and the assertion that “Morocco is a partner in the genocide,” or even “Morocco supports Israel with weapons,” with the semantic meaning of the words used in the headlines!! Not to mention the height of impudence, because we, the Islamist media professionals, have never expected anything less, in accordance with what was attributed to our noble Prophet: “If you have no shame, do whatever you want.” It is an exaggeration in blatant lying, deception, and twisting the truth, which is another Islamist specialty, in which they share with their nationalist allies and their “Zionist” opponents alike, shoulder to shoulder and arm in arm. However, despite the clarity of the video's purpose, we will note some professional observations on it, which would deny the so-called Jawish the right to appear in the media, had he been working for a professional institution (Mekameleen Channel) to begin with.
First, he considers all the information he vomited as "facts," and considers all of Maersk's responses to be "allegations," a term he repeats throughout the video. We don't know the basis on which he relied on this classification. While the company admitted that it ships "parts and components used in the F-35 program to many countries, not just Israel, based on a contract with the US government," it emphasized that it does not carry any type of weapons or ammunition, a cargo regulated by local (US) and international standards. We might argue, from a technical linguistic standpoint, about whether the aircraft's wings or engines are "weapons" or otherwise. However, scientific integrity, which Jawish and his ilk have never heard of, required him to distance himself from the news, both confirming and denying it. However, he knows that not using the terms "weapons used in bombing Gaza" and "partners in genocide" will not encourage anyone to press the story, especially since it was recycled from material published last April. Another deception was the port call at Tangier, which was framed as a "partnership in genocide," stripping it of its technical-commercial character. This was the justification the company gave for choosing Tangier over the ports of Algeciras, Valencia, or Marseille.
We come to “Morocco’s participation in the genocide,” based on the ship’s docking at the Maersk terminal in the port of Tangier (incidentally, it has its own terminal in the port of Tangier, a detail that Jawish deemed unimportant and omitted). The fact, which we have no doubt that Jawish and his sources in the Middle East Eye and Al-Quds Al-Arabi deliberately chose to ignore, is that there is nothing in the port’s records that officially or conclusively confirms the docking of the Maersk Detroit and Maersk Nexo, which are supposed to have exchanged the unloading of the “weapons” shipment from the former to the latter, in the port of Tangier. The most information circulated is that the two ships “simultaneously” passed “near the city of Tangier,” and that the Maersk Detroit “slowed down its speed more than usual.” However, since the story’s narrator is a graduate of the Muslim Brotherhood’s media school, he is prepared to trample on the difference between “the two ships stopping at the port of Tangier” and “the two ships passing simultaneously near Tangier.” Indeed, he would not give up his novel even if he were the captain of one of the two ships. The school to which Jawish belongs believes - more than the most hardened liberals - that “the end justifies the means.” They are not prepared to contemplate, even for a moment, Albert Camus’s great phrase: “The goal (or aim) to which illegitimate means are used is certainly an illegitimate goal.”
Nothing is more indicative of the aforementioned than the series of lies promoted about Morocco under the pretext of “opposing normalization” by Islamists and nationalists, and some of their affiliates in Morocco itself. Accordingly, it was easy for them for an exchange of gifts between the commanders of the Moroccan and Israeli air forces, during a publicized visit in February 2023 (eight months before the Al-Aqsa Intifada), to turn into headlines such as: “Morocco honors the killer of Dr. Alaa Al-Najjar’s children!” This is what the so-called Mohamed Al-Arabi Zitout and Abdel Razzaq Al-Maqri, who belong to the same Brotherhood culture, have taken to doing. Moreover, the so-called Youssef Hussein insists in every episode that the members of the Maghreb steadfastness convoy were assaulted in Egyptian territory, most likely deliberately ignoring the fact that the convoy did not exceed the borders of the Libyan city of Sirte and returned to Tunisia after achieving its objectives, with its “activists” adorning their Facebook pages with smiling selfies under the Palestinian flag!
In conclusion, anyone who wishes can agree or disagree with Morocco's sovereign decision to establish diplomatic relations with Israel, and discuss what they see as right or wrong, beneficial or harmful to the Palestinian cause. However, the professional and moral "crime" lies in fabricating facts, promoting lies, distorting truths, and choosing sensational and shameless headlines in order to attack "Morocco" in this absolute manner. There is no excuse for the praise they may heap on the Moroccan people in the news or video - timidly. Indeed, the so-called Al-Maqri, the former leader of "General Toufik's" Islamist party in Algeria, was unable to control his anger at the Moroccans' failure to "revolution" against their "normalizing" regime. He was not ashamed of the fact that his country's military regime, of which he is a henchman, did not allow a single demonstration of support for Gaza, which they are crying over!!
We say this without any illusions about the slightest possible change in the behavior of the media and elites affiliated with Islamists and nationalists. Lies and impudence will remain their preferred weapons, to a degree that is rivaled only by their Zionist opponents!
