Cairo holds massive anti-Israel rally

http://www.presstv.ir/detail/177032.html


Thousands of Egyptian Protesters have gathered in front of the Israeli embassy in the capital Cairo demanding an end to ties with the Tel Aviv regime.

The demonstration originated from the nearby Cairo University.

The protesters have also called for a freeze on all gas exports to Tel Aviv.

They have threatened to continue massive protest rallies if the current government does not move to cut off ties with the Israeli regime.

FYI - some egyptians attacked the gas pipeline going to Israel and Jordan so there is NO GAS going to those two countries right now, hurray for democracy!!!!!!!

7. Oh come on...you can't STILL be saying that Mubarak should have stayed on
He'd have been out in months anyway. It would have made no difference.

You can't expect Arab countries to have a better attitude towards Israel UNTIL the Palestinians get self-determination.

6. It was immoral to try to save the tyrant Mubarak
It could only have made things worse for Israel for the U.S. to do what you wanted and use force to keep him in power against the people's will.

Israel should never have formed de-facto alliances with dictators, anyway. Dictators are always brought down in the end.

5. Egypt After Mubarak: More Israel-Friendly Than Expected
The latest good news is a poll. Despite fears that the demise of President Hosni Mubarak would also spell the end of Egypt's peace treaty with Israel, nearly two-thirds of Egyptians in a International Peace Institute survey said they preferred keeping the pact – provided the treaty is linked to eventual creation of a Palestinian state. In fact, 46 percent felt “much more likely” to support a party that promised to keep the status quo. Amr Moussa, the former foreign minister who the survey confirmed is by far the frontrunner for president, has said he's on the same page.

hat tip to oberliner for the link

It seems odd that people would find PressTV a credible source, just depends on what you want to hear I guess
