By David Singer, published 16/2/2011

There are dangers for the world if the new government in Egypt acts on nationalism and repudiates its treaties with Israel.

I agree that the Israelis do the dirty work but they don't do it for me. They do it to advance the elitist, imperial Jewish cause.

And if you have a Muslim phobia, Yuwhatever, get it seen to because it is not helping your thinking processes!

"They do it to advance the elitist, imperial Jewish cause."

Some do, sadly, but what about the majority of Israelis who fight just in order to survive and keep their homes and families? What about the israelis who are themselves victims of the above "elitist, imperial Jewish cause"?

Whatever their cause, be it right or wrong, you are also one of their beneficiaries (that is, unless you are one of those who are happy to live under Shariah law), so better not spit into the well from which you drink.

David S....you still owe me a personal apology for describing me as a "hater of all but white supremacists"..I haven't forgotten, and your case is rising steadily to the top of my 'to do' file.

On the Middle East?

Look for

a)Combined effort of Communist/socialists and Islamists working together for the overthrow of capitalism and rise of Islam.

b)Increased organization and preparation of such groups as stability occurrs, then watch how those factions react to each other.

c) Increased behind the scenes involvement of people like George Soros, Jared Cohen and others.

You heard it hear first.

The 9 comments posted so far have little relevance to my article. I will only comment on those that do.

#mac

You state:
"There's nothing wrong in the Egyptians repudiating or re-negotiating what they consider an 'unequal treaty' that was signed by a dictatorial former regime."

My comment:

Any repudiation of the treaty by Egypt would result in America getting involved in accordance with the Carter commitment and would almost certainly trigger another war.

Not sure what renegotiation could possibly change. Egypt got back all its lost territory lock stock and oil barrels (discovered by Israel). What is there to renegotiate? How do you get back more than 100%?

# Sydney

You state:

"Talking as he does, of political grandstanding,David Singer needs to be pulled up hard in his threat in the following reference of his:

"Egypt's execution of the Treaty regained every square kilometer of land lost by Egypt in the 1967 Six Day War including airfields and oil fields in the Sinai. Any breach of the Treaty would put these important strategic and economic assets at risk of being lost by Egypt forever."

My comment:

Would you expect Israel to keep on returning lands every time Arab countries wage a war against it?

Do you think Hamas or the Palestinian Authority would return land to Israel after the conclusion of any war? Their stated aim to destroy Israel is met with a deafening silence by people like yourself.

The real dangers have nothing to do with broken treaties with Israel.Attacking Iran is far more dangerous to world peace which Israel is intent on doing.

Isarel is viewing the unrest in Egypt from a very egocentric view point and cares not for the welfare of ordinary Egyptians.

Wouldn't you do the same, Arjay, if your life was at stake?
It is not that Israelis totally do not care for the welfare of ordinary Egyptians, but wouldn't you in their place give the first priority to your own survival?
