Right now, for Egypt, this is impossible.
Rumors and pure hate are far more in evidence than actual facts. We are seeing possible Pallywood situations, such as this one where Al Jazeera apparently accidentally showed a fake dead person, who had no wound and then moved his leg:
But we have real Western reporters who have seen real deaths, without any doubt, of hundreds of MB members, so even if this one is fake, this video turns from Pallywood into - anti-MB propaganda.
Make no mistake - the Egyptian leadership and many other Egyptians loath the Muslim Brotherhood. Nothing says "hate" in Arabic like calling your opponents Jews. Here is a fake MB logo going around:
The Brotherhood is doing the same; I had mentioned the rumor that Sisi is really Jewish, and that is now being accepted as fact by Islamist websites without any skepticism.
Last month a rumor started that the Muslim Brotherhood met secretly in Islanbul to plan the next stages of their plan to take over Egypt again. The "leaked minutes" of the supposed meeting have gotten bigger and bigger over several weeks, until now the meeting is said to have determined to put women and children in the rallies, to hold demonstrations constantly to exhaust Egyptian security, to start a campaign of suicide bombings in Egypt, to encourage Hamas and Takfirist groups to fan throughout the Sinai and attack the Suez Canal, to earn a billion dollars from arms smuggling and then use those arms to destabilize Egypt.
While the MB is capable of doing this stuff, it is all fantasy from their opponents. Constant rumors in Egypt about Hamas attacks in the Sinai are similarly unlikely.
And this is the problem - one literally cannot believe a thing one reads in the Arabic media. Even Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya are being shown to be unreliable as they report on their side of the story above all.
This is the worst I have ever seen, even worse than the Shiite/Sunni media wars over the Syria situation.
