Certain signs that a) there is a misunderstanding within Arab countries about what diplomatic relations means, and b) any peace treaties signed with a non-Arab country with majority Jews in residence is not worth the diplomatic ink that went into the process. Savage, exclusionary tribalism lives on ecstatically in the minds of a cultural tradition that denies equality with other ethnicities and faiths.‘Zionist Envoy, Leave Egypt or Die,” Demonstrators Demand
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
The Muslim Brotherhood has threatend to kill Israel's ambassador to Cairo if he does not leave the country. The radical Muslim group has been leading daily protests at the Israeli embassy in Cairo, demanding the expulsion of the envoy and a break in relations between Egypt and Israel.
Hundreds of demonstrators surrounded the embassy Monday as armored military and police officers prevented them from repeating Saturday night’s incident when rioters broke down the gate. One firebomb smashed through a front window of the embassy’s office.
One anti-Zionist, now referred to as ”Spiderman,” became an instant hero throughout Egypt by scaling the multi-story wall and replacing the Israeli flag with one of Egypt. The Israeli flag was burned.
“Revolution,” cried out Muslim Brotherhood activists. “Revolution is stronger than the Zionist attackers. The entire Egyptian people are Hamas.”
One hostile placard threatened that the ambassador must “get out [of Egypt] or die here.”
The demonstrators also proclaimed, “Oh Zionist traitor, blood and fire are between you and us.“ They charged that “Zionists mock us with calls for peace, and their principles offend Muslim.”
The refusal to use the word “Israel” is similar to the policy of Iran, Hamas and other Muslim terrorist organizations.
