I know that you cry in your beds like babies every time a Jew is murdered, and go insane with grief every time a bomb goes in an Israeli city, or some Arab guns down a few teenagers in a mall, Because you care so much about the life of all living creatures, including Israelis. So a couple of us too show how much we care about your life, and shrug with indifference whenever some of you get blown up. And, because you like coming up with excuses for your hatred of Jews, I can come up with one too: The killings are only a fitting retaliation for all the years that muslims were opressed and mistreated under colonial and imperial rule, and for all the crimes that the Byzantines have performed against the Saracens.

Venture ten miles into the development communities outside Cairo for a different view. Also, the mid-class Egyptians, just like the mid-class Germans in late 1930s, despise disorganized violence rather than killing of Jews per se.

I still can't believe how ignorant of each other Egyptians and Israelis are...Trust me you barely know Egypt, but you dare write about it as if ''you knew'', no you don't. The great majority of Egyptians rejected the Dahab attacks against Israeli tourists. You'd be surprised if you talked on a daily basis with Egyptians, to hear their real feelings and aspirations vis-a-vis Jews and Israel. They're not monsters, very far from that. It's just that you don't even speak their language, and what do you expect anyway from these unsignificant trips?? Be modest, learn and discover, then maybe you could get back to this blog after a while (2030?? :) ) Keep it real.. shalom/salam It’ve just spent an hour reading your blog for the first time, here are my impressions:

Now it’s just too late. The bombs which will detonate in New York and Tel Aviv are being built. 1)Egypt has no nuclear power even for peace purposes. 2)Again you try to put Tel Aviv and New York in one place to give an impression to people that u both are the victim of terrorists and to gain sympathy of the american public...the same dirty game is played every time. 3)Many people in Egypt would like to select the Muslim brotherhood...because they r being dealt with in an unfair way....and those who has tasted injustice are the best to be fair when they rule...and however...many Egyptians would select them .. not the great majority as u want to say. 4)when you die bombed and your body come into pieces...nobody will feel sorry for you also...and may be you get killed by your own terrorists who killed Rabin before. 5)you claim that Egyptian people dosn't care about Paletinians....this is very wrong because in Islamic relegion...the blood of a single Muslim victim (whom you slaughter everyday) are even more precious than MAKKA. 6)you are like a fire...when it dosn't find something to eat...it just eats itself. You said :

Did you was running against a door while before writing : "I cannot honestly say that I am too sorry ..." Come down from your philosophic talking and think what you would tell a victim mother 'face to face'. Maybe you are to proud to do.. than sorry for you, really. Just sorry for your confussion.
