MORE ON ERIC MARGOLIS

On Sunday, I posted a story about the Toronto Sun's Eric Margolis, who has written that Israel (not Syria) killed the former Prime Minister of Lebanon last week and that Israel (and the US of course) secretly poisoned Yasser Arafat to death. There's more.

According to HonestReporting, in a 1998 column, Margolis even propagated allegations (originally published in the Times of London) that Israeli scientists were working on an 'ethnic bomb' that would kill Arabs ― while sparing Jews. Western scientists dismissed this claim ― embraced by the Arab media and lunatic-fringe ideologues ― as utter nonsense. Yet Margolis's column, which appeared in the Edmonton Sun and Ottawa Sun, quoted 'numerous reliable sources' who claimed, 'Israeli scientists are attempting to engineer deadly micro-organisms that only attack DNA within the cells of victims with distinctive Arab genes.'
