Jaggi Singh now claims that his arrest in Israel wasn’t a publicity stunt.
“This was not a publicity stunt,” he said yesterday. “I did not come here to get arrested – I came here to write stories. In late 1999 to 2000 I spent three months in India doing exactly the same thing. But nobody heard of it because they didn’t decide to deport me.”
Yeah, right.
Singh is drawn to publicity like a moth to a flame. Now he’s levelling accusations that he was beaten while in lockup in Israel awaiting deportation.
Liar.
Think about it: the Israelis clearly have no motive whatsoever to beat him up or harm him in any way. But Singh has plenty of motive to portray Israeli police as “brutal”. Actually, I think the word “brutal” is pretty much synonymous with any police anywhere – and with any Israeli anywhere – in Singh’s mind, so he must have seen the opportunity to make up charges against Israeli police as too good to pass up.
Whatever the case may be, Singh was seeking this arrest from the day he stepped off that plane in Tel Aviv. Press releases abounded – most probably written in advance – to chronicle Singh’s detention at the airport, the Israeli court’s subsequent decision to allow him into Israel conditionally, Singh’s blatant violation of those conditions and his “come and get me” attitude, and finally, his inevitable arrest.
Singh has demonstrated that he has no problem bending or completely manufacturing the truth. This goes directly to his credibility and says that we should take whatever he says with not only a grain of salt, but a whole shaker full.
I would not be at all surprised if Jaggi had actually phoned the police in advance to come and arrest him the other day. I’m guessing he was planning to leave Israel and the so-called “Occupied Territories” soon anyhow, but didn’t want to go quietly.
Another thing… they beat him up so roughly that his glasses few off, but doesn’t have any bruises or other marks to show for it. Those fiendish Zionists… they’re hoarding the Star Trek “hypospray” technology all for themselves, apparently!
Not so funny now, is it?
I love it when my predictions come true, particularly when they’re so easy to call.
What is funny though are the knee-jerk accusations that Singh’s lying, as though Israel could do no wrong. Do you people ever listen to yourself objecively?
“Singh has demonstrated that he has no problem bending or completely manufacturing the truth.”
For example?
ME: “I love it when my predictions come true” – Like your predictions in 1948, 1959, 1966 and 1973 that you would massacre, exterminate, and throw every last jew into the sea?
No, but here’s another prediction: in every debate and on each issue, argue with a zionist and they’ll accuse you of wanting to throw the jews into the sea.
Me–is that a new corralary to the rule that whenever someone brings up a comparison to the Nazis that they lose the argument?
