But they swore the Muslim Brotherhood wouldn’t affect Egypt’s relations with Israel: Yeah, sure. Egypt canceled their gas deal with Israel, thus breaking a contract signed years ago. Gee, I wonder what other deal signed years ago they’re ready to break? Camp David, anyone?
Just another case of Israel Derangement Syndrome: Speaking of Egyptian hatred for Israel, the Brotherhood is looking to make a mufti resign because he had the nerve to visit Jerusalem. Even though he says he still hates Israel, and that the “occupation” must end, they want him to resign. Say, remember when Sand Monkey told us not to worry, that Egyptians really don’t hate Israel? Yeah, he was wrong.
In case you forgot, Turkey is still making an enemy of Israel: In spite of the fact that their terrorists caused all of the problems on the Marbled Memento, Turkey is refusing to allow Israel to take part in a NATO conference. Oh, and saying that it isn’t doing so, but Israel still needs to apologize and compensate the “victims” of the Mimbulus Mimbletonia–you know, the ones who attacked IDF soldiers as they were coming down on ropes, beating and shooting them and trying to kill them. (Link goes to a new first-hand story on Ynet that you should read.) Why is Turkey still a part of NATO? It is actively working with our enemies like Iran, working to establish Islamic rule in Egypt and elsewhere, threatening Cyprus and Israel–these are not the actions of an ally. But then, Obama can’t seem to tell the difference between friend and foe, internationally.
Really, it’s rather pathetic in the long run: Vandals sprayed pro-Hitler graffiti on a Colorado synagogue. Hey. Assholes. Hitler’s dead. Nazi Germany is gone. We’re still here, and now we have our ancestral homeland, too. Boy, that must piss you off, doesn’t it?
Good.
Meryl,
Just a bit of history and since the 26th is Israel’s Independence day take a look at
Abba Eban’s interview with Mike Wallace on the 10th anniversary of Israel’s independence.
and realise that from the get go it was Israel to blame for “occupying” other people’s land.
Nice to hear Abba Eban’s replies to Mike Wallace’s imputations, but sad to realise that right from the get-go Mike Wallace and co., through the decades have sought to blame Israel for what happened in 1948.
The only change after WWII was the smokescreen that came down on the atrocious attitudes which have continued to simmer over the decades.
