Ten Surprising Facts About the Middle East You May Not Know
Stephen McDonald posts ten facts about the Middle East.
My favourite: Surprising Fact No. 3.
3. Hamas considers the Lions Club and the Rotary Club its sworn enemies.
...many are unaware of Hamas' intense hatred and conspiratorial view of the Rotary Club and Lions Club. Article 22 of the Covenant ("The Powers that Support the Enemy") states: "They (Zionists) also used the money to establish clandestine organizations which are spreading around the world, in order to destroy societies and carry out Zionist interests. Such organizations are: the Freemasons, Rotary Clubs, Lions Clubs, B'nai B'rith and the like. All of them are destructive spying organizations." This is no typo - the Covenant denounces the Rotary Club three times, and the Lions Club twice.
