Breaking News - Embassy Hostage Crisis In Cairo ?

[Caliga]

Isn't this will of the Egyptian people? If Egypt becomes a democracy their foreign policy will be hostile to Israel by default.

Oh well, I guess they'll have to have their teeth kicked in again by the IDF.  Stupid yoots who don't know history.

[Sheilbh]

Why are they protesting?

Not clear.  As I say it looks like this started at State Security, or there were two protests that merged into one.

Al-Jazeera have a rather attractive correspondent in Cairo, Sherine Tadros. 

Sky News and the BBC are still running normal news programming.  So on the BBC we've got Click talking about stills cameras

I personally can't wait until the US yanks their logistical chain for all their American toys.

[Caliga]

I personally can't wait until there are Jews in Cairo.

The joos don't want Gaza, why the fuck would they want Cairo? Cairo has, like, 10 times as many Arabs as there are in Gaza.

That's why we armed them.  We get a veto on their military.

[Habsburg]

The Israeli Ambassador and his family have fled Cairo via a military transport.

Arab spring will usher democracy

This has always been the problem with middle eastern democracy, the will of the people tends to be pretty conservative and anti-Israel, the west, etc....

[Martinus]

Why are they protesting?

Israel's existence, I assume.

How about Israel's vocal support for Mubarak until the last moment, instead? Now they reap what they sow.

At least Obama was smart enough to switch the side America was on when he saw where the wind was blowing.

Frankly, I can't really blame Egyptians for disliking the Israelis over this. You can just as well wonder why Poland or the Baltics do not like the Soviets too much.

[Martinus]

Well, Egypt, it was nice knowing you.

Didn't Turkey start military cooperation with Egypt recently? I don't think Turkey (not to mention, a lot of other countries in the region) would sit idly on their hands if Israel invaded Egypt.

Could you share a little of this with us?  It didn't show up on my radar screen.

[Tamas]

Marty is right. Anti-semitism is a very new phenomenom, triggered by Israel's vocal support of falling Egyptian tyrant Mubarak.



So, I guess we are still on track to resolve this recession like the one in the 30s, ha?

[Ideologue]

Currently.
