In fairness, Aaron Klein insists that Ayman Abu Aita is only kind of a terrorist leader because he’s been a good source for Klein’s WND or something:
A “terrorist leader” interviewed in the just-released hit movie “Bruno” is fuming mad, telling WND the film mislabels him and that the movie’s star, Sasha Baron Cohen, conducted the interview under false pretenses… Aita also slammed Baron Cohen as a “big liar” who “made up stories” when describing to CBS’s David Letterman last week the way he met Aita at an undisclosed location. Aita said he is pursuing legal action against Baron Cohen. “[Baron Cohen] said this was a film going to help the Palestinian cause,” Aita told WND. “When I heard (four days ago) what this film was about I really didn’t believe it.”… Aita, however, is not exactly a terrorist. At least not anymore.
I don’t know. Aita was a leader of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, which has been designated a terrorist organization by Israel, the US, and the EU. He’s been known to threaten that “one bullet will be enough” to instigate Palestinian mass violence. He helped run a Palestinian non-profit that Joseph Farah tagged for rationalizing terrorism and peddling anti-Semitic tropes. And I’m pretty sure he’s the one in this story covering up the persecution of Palestinian Christians.
All of which is a roundabout way of saying, enjoy:
On top of everything else, Sasha Baron Cohen was born an Orthodox Jew and speaks fluent Hebrew. Can you imagine the sheer stones this must have taken?
