I was in Egypt most my life. Most of my followers don’t know I learned everything I know about being a god in Egypt.

These writers have much to be envious of Egypt, because even Mubarak was a perfect democrat compared to ziostan.

” Interesting that no one here mentions 3 million Palestinians living under military rule on the West Bank, not to mention Gaza.”

Never far from our minds Jon , read here :

[quote]The Egyptian regime became an ally of the Israeli occupation. The joint siege of Gaza is irrefutable proof of that. The Egyptian people didn’t like it. They never liked the peace agreement with Israel, in which Israel committed itself to “respect the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people” but never kept its word. Instead, the people of Egypt got the scenes of Operation Cast Lead.

It is not enough to have a handful of embassies in order to be accepted in the region. There also have to be embassies of goodwill, a just image and a state that is not an occupier. Israel has to make its way into the hearts of the Arab peoples, who will never agree to the continued repression of their brothers, even if their intelligence ministers will continue to cooperate with Israel.

No Ilana, they are envious, because despite of those things that you mentioned, the dictatorship which is also partially sponsored by your country, the Poverty, the Hunger, and the supposed illiteracy, the Egyptian people can still stand up and say “I deserve better than Mubarak and his Goons”, where as in you “democratic”, “Literate”, “Rich” state, you still have the bar bouncer ranting his supremacist banalities, and a witch hunt against those who stand up in defense of Justice, without anyone of this “democratic”, “literate”, “wealthy” state to stand up and put and end to this farce!.

I wonder if Sheizaf and Rose appreciate the irony of their statement about being exhilirated at the uprising against oppression in Egypt.
Egyptian Jews also faced this type of repression…that is why they were eventually expelled in the 1950′s with only the clothes on their back. That is why many came to Israel.
Jews from other Arab countries also faced repression like this. That is why they came to Israel.
Jews from Europe faced even worse than they Egyptians are facing. That is why they came to Israel.
Israelis in their family history have plenty memories of this kind of oppression. That is why they are leery about trusting the same people who are doing this repression today.
