I have to disagree with you. Though the government of Egypt can fit those views which you have just described, one must not generalize to the Egyptian public. I know of many Egyptians who have gone out of their way to espouse the Palestinian cause, more so than most Palestinians themselves. However, Egyptians are powerless against their repressive regime who is certainly not making representative decisions. When fair elections are carried out and the winner of said elections makes decisions based on the wishes of its population, then we can begin to generalize about the people…

Egypt is a disgrace to the Arab and Muslim world.
Every Egyptian is embarrassed to identify himself as one to a fellow Arab. Even tough foolish Egyptians secretly think their American Zionist masters will pat them on the head when they try to walk through US Immigration Counter.
Egypt's compliance to Israeli diktats just bolsters anthropologists' claims to the Egyptian national character of cowardice and lily-livered men who can't stand up to their women.

Such embarrassment; and to think that Egyptians were the only army in history to have stopped Genghis Khan's horde. Oh wait a minute… that accolade must go to the Mameluke Slaves. Who were Turks.

The only silver lining to Egyptian manhood, I guess, must go to its formation of the Muslim worlds first and still influential, dynamic Islamic political party, The Muslim Brotherhood. Muslim Brotherhood still calls the shots, in the Middle East. Alas it's own people, the Egyptians, have been its (Egyptian manhood) most brutal opponents.

Good post, it's disheartening to learn that Egypt will go out of its way to support Israel. Not only is this plain wrong, it doesn't make logical sense seeing that there is little to no benefit for doing so.

Furthermore, it shouldn't be taken lightly that this is a man made disaster.

Many commentators, especially in the US media talk about what happened in Gaza as if it were some kind of natural disaster.

One can only imagine what the cost of such a wall will be, and solely to enable a renegade nation to brutalize a captive civilian population. Disgraceful.
