Retroactive 'trutherism'

Not satisfied with implicating Israel in their 9/11 conspiracy theories, the anti-Israel faction of the truther crowd also believes Israel's Shin Bet entered into an "unholy alliance" with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in the 1976 Air France hijacking that culminated in the Israeli commando raid on Entebbe airport in Uganda.

Some 98 people, mainly Israelis or Jews, were held by hijackers at Entebbe airport in Uganda during an eight-day crisis concluded when Israeli troops stormed the building where captives were detained.

The hijackers, from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the German Baader-Meinhof gang, said they wanted the release from prison of Palestinian militants.

But according to the new British information, Israel's secret service, the Shin Beit, and the PFLP are alleged to have joined forces in an "unholy alliance" in a bid to change foreign policy in the Middle East.

Ummm, Ok.
