RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- "Al Quds Al Arabi" Newspaper revealed in Wednesday's edition that the Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has been subjected to a fierce "disastrous" campaign waged by the Israeli lobby against him.
The lobby has been searching for all Morsi's previous speeches and statements in which he criticized the Jews, to use them to distort his image. It is the same campaign that has been waged against the Westerners, Muslims, Arabs and some Jews who reject the Israeli racist policies adopted against the Palestinians in the occupied territories.
Al Quds Al Arabi Newspaper reported that "the White House strongly condemned on Tuesday comments that Egyptian President Muhammad Morsi had made in 2010 when he was a Muslim Brotherhood leader, while Israeli and Jewish community regarded them as anti-Semitic in nature."
White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters that the language Morsi had used was "deeply offensive" and that US officials raised concerns with the Egyptian government on the matter.
Nearly three years ago, Mursi, as an Islamist political leader, delivered a speech urging Egyptians to "nurse our children and our grandchildren on hatred for Jews and Zionists," the New York Times reported.
In a television interview months later, the newspaper said he described Zionists as "these bloodsuckers who attack the Palestinians, these warmongers, the descendants of apes and pigs".
