Israel imports Israeli gas from Egypt

admin — Fri, 02 May 2008 12:51:59 +0000

The first deliveries of natural gas started through El Arish - Ashkelon pipeline. Israel will buy billions of dollars’ worth of gas from Egypt.
El Arish gas field in Sinai was developed by Jews and belongs to Israel under the title signed by God, as part of the Promised Land. Israel took the place in 1956 but abandoned it under the friendly US pressure. Eisenhower Administration promised, in return, to keep the Tiran Straits open for Israeli shipping, but reneged on that promise in 1967. Israel again re-took the land in 1967 but gave it back under the pressure of Jimmy Carter, who is now labeled anti-Semite and refused audiences with Israel’s political bosses.

Egypt heads for harsh measures against Gaza

admin — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 17:49:13 +0000

Tens of thousands of Gaza’s Arabs stream into the Egyptian-occupied Sinai, preventing Egypt from closing its border with Gaza. Egypt risks that Israel would use absence of Egypt-Gaza border as a pretext to leave Gaza to Egypt’s care. Influx of Palestinians can destabilize Egypt, as it destabilized Jordan and Lebanon before. Egypt will try pushing Hamas to leave Gaza-Egypt border control to Fata, and then Egypt will agree to some kind of cross-border movement instead of the previous blockade of Gaza. Failing to do that, Egypt would be forced to shoot at the Gazans to close the border.

Israel abandons the plan to show Americans implicating video

admin — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 16:24:37 +0000

Israel’s Defense Ministry prepared a video of Egyptian policemen in the Sinai helping Palestinian Arabs to smuggle weapons into Gaza. The video was intended for congressmen in the wake of voting on the Egyptian aid package (the US gives Egypt about as much aid as Israel). Israel’s Foreign Ministry scrapped the plan to avoid offending the Egyptians.
The video is one-sided. While some Egyptian policemen help Hamas, others courageously confront the smugglers. Egyptian policeman was killed yesterday during one such encounter.

Egypt and US in a friendly quarrel

admin — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 21:27:59 +0000

After the victories of democracy in Lebanon and Palestine (Hezbollah and Hamas elected), the half-witted US Administration pushes for democracy in Pakistan and Egypt where Al Qaeda-affiliated Islamic fundamentalists and Islamic Brotherhood, respectively, will gain power in democratic elections. To that end, US Administration continuously carps at Mubarak who is insufficiently concerned with human rights of good Muslim terrorists. Egyptian press decries the US attempts of democratizing Egypt, and Mubarak warned in a speech that Egypt will not bow down to the US pressure but will continue pursuing stability in the Middle East.
America gives the Egyptian regime, non-democratic and abusing human rights, military aid of $1.4 billion annually. Israel adheres to (Arab) human rights policies for the fear of losing the American support.

Egypt: Israel, Blacks must respect the law

admin — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 17:46:02 +0000

Egypt renounced Israeli intentions of deporting the Black infiltrators back into Egypt. As the Egyptian Foreign Ministry correctly notes, international law does not obligate Egypt to accept the infiltrators back.
Israel refuses Egypt’s reasonable demands to increase its forces in Sinai to 7,500 – a militarily insignificant level – to counter the Black infiltrators.
Egypt defended its practice of shooting the illegal Black migrants as the way to make them respect the law. Israel offers the Blacks jobs and subsidizes them. No wonder, the number of Black illegals swelled in July to perhaps 3,000.

Egypt makes Darfur problem Israel’s

admin — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 19:43:28 +0000

After Israel demanded that Egypt stops infiltration of Blacks through Sinai into Israel, Egypt adopted a devilish approach of showcase violence to the Blacks. Egyptian police shot a number of them and brutalized more. Today, Egyptian police killed two Blacks and lynched another two before the eyes of IDF soldiers across the border. Egypt positions itself as a brutal animal who cannot be counted on to take care of the Black migrants. The Egyptian move is calculated to make it impossible for Israel to expel the Black infiltrators back to Egypt and to accept subsequent Black migrants who now swarm Egypt.

admin — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 17:29:00 +0000

Egypt opposes Israeli and Western plans for deployment of international force along the Philadelphi corridor.

Mubarak praises killed Israeli spy

admin — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 00:05:47 +0000

Egypt’s president Hosni Mubarak called Ashraf Marwan “a patriot.” Dr. Ashraf, a weapons trader who notified Israel of the Yom Kippur attack two days in advance, was killed in London last week.

Another Israeli spy, Sharif al-Filali, also died in Cairo jail today.

Egypt claims from Israel the stocks it stole from Jews

admin — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 17:18:50 +0000

Hamas is not too bad for Egypt

admin — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 17:17:38 +0000

After openly criticizing Hamas for takeover of Gaza, Egypt pushes Fatah and Hamas to form a new unity government.

Mubarak summons Olmert

admin — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 04:46:27 +0000

Olmert will attend Sunday meeting with Mubarak in Sharm El Sheikh. Jordan’s princeling Abdullah and PLO’s Abbas will join.
Israel often talks to Arab countries in Egypt because they lack diplomatic relations with Israel and refuse to hold talks in Jerusalem. Israel, however, maintains relations with Egypt, Jordan, and the PLO. There is no reason for Olmert to humiliatingly travel to the Egyptian resort rather than inviting the Arab leaders to Jerusalem.

Egypt simulates border control at Rafah

admin — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 04:44:55 +0000

In the marked change from the earlier complete inaction, the 750-strong Egyptian police contingent started moving around after the Hamas takeover of Gaza.

Hamas and civilian smugglers made dozens of tunnels under the nose of Egyptian police, and continue smuggling arms and explosives.

Muslim Brotherhood enters Egyptian parliament

admin — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 05:15:06 +0000

Muslim Brotherhood rejected the long-standing arrangement with Egyptian government which turned a blind eye to operation of the Muslim group banned in 1954, and in turn, Muslim Brotherhood did not run for Shura Council, the upper chamber of Egyptian parliament. After the recent government crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood for its cooperation with terrorist groups and subverting the secular Egyptian state, the Muslim Brotherhood abandoned its previous political restraint and sent 19 members for Shura Council elections as independents. Egyptian government, as usual, rigged the elections, but this time many adherents of Muslim Brotherhood countered poll station falsifications with violence. Gunfights and clashes raged at several polling stations. Muslim Brotherhood is the largest opposition party in Egypt, supported by overwhelming majority of common Egyptians as honest, Islamic, anti-corruption politicans. Hamas is a Palestinian outgrow of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas maintains close ties with Muslim Brotherhood, receives money and logistical assistance for weapons transportation.

Israel again eyes peacekeepers in Egypt

admin — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 12:46:30 +0000

admin — Fri, 18 May 2007 09:25:50 +0000
