Okay, after an earlier posting on the shark story I came down fairly hard on a commenter who snarkily suggested the Egyptians would blame it on Israel. This being the region of self-fulfilling prophecy, of course, now the governor of South Sinai has allegedly said the shark might be a Mossad plot to undermine Egyptian tourism. Israel has apparently denied this, which is giving it more attention than it deserves.
For one thing — oh, why even argue about Mossad sharks? — but if nothing else, who do you think patronizes Sharm al-Sheikh? Mostly Europeans and . . . Israelis. It's a favorite of Israeli tourists. Could a shark distinguish?
