While Commentary, JINSA and AIPAC are in a panic mode because they believe that the MB will soon become Egypt’s main political force, Rabbi Michael Learner, editor of Tikkun, rejoices over the liberation of the Egyptian people from the dictatorship of Mubarak. He writes: To watch hundreds of thousands of Egyptians able to throw off the chains of oppression and the legacy of a totalitarian regime that consistently jailed, tortured
Mubarak just addressed the Egyptian nation. He promised not to run in the next election, but he wants to rule through the transition period. Bottom line – the USraelian Empire is resolutely refusing to let go of Egypt. Mubarak also said “I will die on the soil of Egypt”; translation: I am not following Ben Ali to Saudi Arabia. Mubarak appeared to be as out of touch with reality as
Check out this headline from Israel National News: Muslim Brotherhood’s Message Same as Hamas: Kill Jews Nothing new here. Expect endless references to a “2nd Holocaust” and the “New Egyptian Antisemitism” as an “existential threat” to the “only democracy in the Middle-East” to come next. We might even get a “New Hitler” if Mubarak is toppled. Where are Alan Dershowitz, Elie Wiesel and Joe Lieberman when they are so needed!!!
Ynet News reports: After weeks of opposition protests inspired by regime ouster in Tunisia and turmoil in Egypt, Abdullah names his former ex-military advisor Marouf Bakhit as new prime minister with orders to carry out ‘true political reforms’
According to the Jerusalem Post, President Shimon Peres met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel at Beit Hanassi on Tuesday, where they discussed Egypt, peace talks, and the Iranian nuclear program.During the meeting, Peres said that the world saw the results of democratic elections in Gaza, where Hamas was elected (…) “If a religious extremist dictatorship rises the day after democratic elections, what are democratic elections worth?” Peres asked.
Haaretz headline: Netanyahu warns outcome of Egypt revolution could be like Iran’s Insha’Allah Bibi, Insha’Allah!
Press TV reports that the Israeli parliament has called for an investigation into the reason behind the failure of Israeli Intelligence services in predicting the Egyptian uprising in advance. In the meantime, 400 Israelis have been evacuated from Cairo.
That figures. Al-Jazeera and Haaretz are reporting that Israel has called on the United States and Europe to curb their criticism of president Hosni Mubarak “in a bid to preserve stability in Egypt” and the wider Middle East, an Israeli newspaper reports. The Israeli daily Haaretz reported on Monday that the foreign ministry, in an urgent special cable, instructed its ambassadors to key countries, to “stress … the importance of
Hoenlein: ElBaradei a ‘stooge’ for Iran By Ron Kampeas for the JTA WASHINGTON (JTA) — The director of the U.S. Jewish foreign policy umbrella called Mohammed ElBaradei, the opposition leader emerging from the Egyptian ferment, a “stooge for Iran.” Malcolm Hoenlein, the executive vice-president of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, accused ElBaradei of covering up Iran’s true nuclear weaponization capacities while he directed the International Atomic
(An interesting commentary by Ha’aretz’ top strategist) As long as the masses in Egypt and in the entire Arab world continue seeing the images of tyranny and violence from the occupied territories, Israel will not be able to be accepted, even it is acceptable to a few regimes. By Gideon Levy for Ha’aretz Three or four days ago, Egypt was still in our hands. The army of pundits, including our top
I do that from time to time. I browse the headlines at Forward, Commentary, I check the websites of JTA, JINSA, ADL, Stand with us, BBI, AIPAC, etc. and then I turn to the real heavyweight Zionist power players: the NYT, the WP and the WSJ. In the latter, I scan the opinion pieces and the editorials. So far, the general feeling is absolutely unmistakable: not a single sign of
There is no doubt in my mind that the Empire is pushing el-Baradei as a successor to Mubarak (Hillary is already speaking about an ‘orderly transition’). This does not at all mean that the Empire created the uprising in Egypt, or even that the Empire had el-Baradei already lined up ready to step in. Nor does this mean that this is not the case. Frankly, it is at this point
Al-Jazeera has just announced that the Muslim Brotherhood announces that el-Baradei will negotiate in the name of the opposition. That is a *very* dangerous step for the MB. I hope that they know what they are doing because to the outsider that I am, el-Baradei looks like an ‘Egyptian Obama’ i.e. “change you can believe in” as a slogan to keep the Establishment in power and the policies unchanged. I
by Soraya Sepahpour-UlrichEyes fixed on Egypt, the consensus is that we are witnessing a global awakening. Mesmerized by the crowds, mainstream media reports, and ‘pundits’ analysis, we have abandoned our ability to think critically — we fail to ask the right question: Why is the mainstream media in the U.S., the propaganda apparatus of the State and interest groups, condemning the Egyptian leader — America and Israel’s most subservient ally?

Article in Ha’aretz: “Without Egypt, Israel will be left with no friends in Mideast“ This is why the USraelian Empire will do all in its power to keep Egypt under full Zionist control.
Dear friends, I am still really sick, though the antibiotics have kicked in and I hope to be back in more or less normal shape in a day or so. Please keep on posting news items and comments here, in particular concerning the events in Egypt. Two small notes of substance (I am too sick to write more): a) Predictably, it appears that the Empire will not let go of
