Egyptian commandos helped rescue six guards inside the Israeli embassy in Cairo early Saturday morning, after dozens of people among thousands of protestors stormed the building. The crowd had smashed through a newly-erected security wall and was separated from the Israelis by one metal door.
The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s 80-year-old Islamist society which is poised to gain considerable power in upcoming elections, blamed Israel for the violence and breach of sovereign diplomatic ground.
“The slowness and negligence about the rights of our martyr soldiers killed by the Zionists at the border, the not adopting a decisive stand, wavering on the withdrawal of the Egyptian Ambassador, and the Zionist arrogance in refusing to even apologize, as well as the building of a big concrete wall to protect the Embassy were most important reasons that led to the explosion of national sentiment in the hearts of the Egyptians,” a statement on the Brotherhood’s website said. “The remedy for that lies in the authority, whether the interim authority now or the coming civil authority, responding to the will of the people and respecting their dignity.”
Israel did apologize for the deaths of six Egyptian soldiers killed after being caught in the crossfire last month after terrorists fled from a coordinated attack near Eilat in southern Israel. Gaza-based terrorists were blamed for the attack, which killed eight Israelis, but an investigation also found at least three Egyptians were involved. Egyptian press outlets accused Israelof being behind the attacks, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reported.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed concern over the attack on his country’s embassy, but tried to strike a calmer tone. In a speech, he thanked the United States for helping urge the Egyptian army to intervene, and he thanked the commandos for rescuing the Israeli citizens.
Notice that the Muslim Brotherhood is 80 years old.
It was founded in 1928.
Rich Muslim leaders sent their sons to Europe to the ”finest” universities there in the 1920’s.
Many of these schools leaned toward Marx, Lenin and other communist idealists.
These Muslim men melded Islam and totalitarianism after leaving their schooling.
It took them years to gain even a bit of power.
But, today, here they are.
The natural extension of their philosophy is being worked out on the streets in Egypt right now.
The Islamic world is collectively feeling its oats against Obama.
Just today the Saudi government threatened the USA.
Ex-ambassador to the USA, Turki al-Faisal, has warned that an American veto of Palestinian membership of the United Nations would end the ”special relationship” between the two countries, and make the US ”toxic” in the Arab world.
