#2 Things are bad in Egypt. With oil production thousands of workers may return. They need the money. This is what I dislike about O so much. Going after people out of fear. They have money. They held us back. Outsiders, spies, make an even playing field so much envy, hate and fear.

#3 "we thought you were a Jew"

but since he wasn't, it's cool?

"I thought you were an Arab" is OK for an ass-kicking then?

#4 Tourism used to be big business in Egypt and employed tens of thousands, including many that provided services to the Israeli tourists that came in to see Cairo and the Pyramids. Remember one point about Egypt: it imports 50% of the daily caloric intake of the Egyptian public, and you have to pay solid currency for grains. Not terribly smart to screw with the one industry that could be bringing in money to buy food with.

#5 "Not terribly smart to screw with the one industry that could be bringing in money to buy food with."

Nonsense, Shieldwolf - surely Allen will provide.

#6 when you meet someone as abysmally ignorant as this, they are fair game for cruel humor. Give them a lesson about "Jew identification" that will leave them totally confused. For example:

How to spot "secret Jews" pretending to be Muslims in their mosque.

#7 One other point, Israel and Egypt are two of the areas in the Middle East without major oil deposits; but Israel might just have a whole seacoast worth of natural gas. Egypt should remind itself of Pharaoh's dream about the seven fat cows and the seven skinny ones; because they just might have to forgo any military assistance per Camp David just to have enough money to buy food to avoid another revolution.

#8 Looks like they better get to the mosque and get their Jewdar recalibrated...
