Hamid.. God bless you, I pray your words will help Arabs and others... see the truth, in that they must stop all this anger.. and hatred.. teach their children love and kindness.. and this goes for all people living in the world today.. .
93. Egypt Air / Israel vs Map re #84
Honest John ,   Dallas, TX USA   (03.24.11)
I sympathize and empathize with your position. I am heartened to see that there are "free thinkers" among the Arab peoples - not "surprised" per se, but by simple observation finding Arabs without a blind allegiance to Islamist doctrine is very rare. I am not a big fan of any religion, but confess to an antipathy for those that espouse hatred and subjugation of their "infidels" and/or women. Let's hope we live long enough to see "civilization" break-out in most of the world!
94. RE: I like the new Egypt
NoMuz ,   Richmond, USA   (03.24.11)
Yea, but you're iranian, so how smart are you?
95. Palestine?
Jeff ,   USA   (03.24.11)
Why not call these Muslims what they are who are living in Isreal's borders...... Philistines.
96. About time
hayduke ,   USA   (03.24.11)
97. Egypt Air
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (03.24.11)
Is this the same Egypt Air ?. that one of his pilots flew an air plane with passengers into the ocean, screaming,alla hu achbar,showing the way for the islamic 11 killers,i don't think it's safe to to fly with Egypt Air.
98. Egypt Air removes Israel from map
Brian Johnson ,   St Thomas, VI,USA   (03.24.11)
Great, now the Egyptian Air Force won't be able find Israel to attack her!
99. Hamid and David
Anna ,   Montreal, Canada   (03.24.11)
With people like you we talk the same language. With IRAN#1, george, nour, deutronomy 28 it's impossible to talk at all. You are the only bridge that can help us to understand how to help your brothers. What it will take to make them think out of their closed religiously and culturally box. Western world sees the reasons for the revolutions in Arab countries but doesn't know what sort of leaders do you have.Today Al-Qaida , Muslim brotherhood and Iranian regime are getting their hands on the situation. West doesn't know who is the biggest enemy because there is no leadership in those revolutions other then the religious fundamentalists. Where are you moving with the new changes? Let us understand you and find the trust.
100. #95 Philistines?
Dale ,   Spanaway USA   (03.24.11)
They don't call those muslims Philistines because the Philistines were living there for many years before the Hebrews ever showed up and ran them off. I think the Philistines g-d of Baal gave them the land for ever and ever. Shows what happens when you pick the wrong diety. They are never around when you need them.
101. EgyptAir
Mark V ,   Los Angeles, CA   (03.24.11)
Denial: It ain't just a river in Egypt. (Sorry, I just couldn't resist.)
102. Not what I see
Katie ,   BostonUSA   (03.24.11)
Funny, when I go to look it up, Israel is not labeled but its border is certainly drawn (not well, but its there) and Amman is in whats clearly labeled as Jordan unlike what the Ynet map is showing. Has it perhaps been doctored? Go look it up yourself!
103. Egypt Air
Exile 1968 ,   Orinda, Ca   (03.24.11)
Exactly. Every decent person who cares about Israel should write a letter /email of protest to Star Aliiance which Egypt Air is a member of, and to their country's airline which is a member of Star Alliance. World maps not subject to personal preferences. Rather they must accurately reflect the geographical and political facts. Israel is a soverign state recognized as such by and a member of the United Nations. That is all that is required for it to be on the map of any entity that has world presence, as Egypt Air does. The same has to go for the maps, in a variety of media, school books, etc. in the are administered by the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinian Authority has a delegation at the UN. They too must be made to oxide by this principle. Maps ARE NOT figments of personal or national fantasies and desires. They must represent facts. Israel exists.
104. Egypt hates Israel
ColEject ,   Honolulu, HI   (03.24.11)
#37, "Let them live in 'De-Nile"
105. Israel is back on the Map
redtex ,   Los Angeles, CA   (03.24.11)
It appears that flights from Cairo to Tel Aviv are now deemed to be non-operational. However, if one looks at the map for the Middle East the border between Israel and Jordan was put back. To give the airline the benefit of the doubt, it could have been an honest mistake or maybe not.
106. Is Egypt now the Territory Israel?
Russ ,   Coastal USA   (03.24.11)
I knew Israel would take over over Egypt!
107. WTF
shawn ross ,   rapid city USA   (03.24.11)
If this airline refuses to recognize Israel then refuse to recognize that airline and don’t let them in. Sounds to me that Israel has the upper hand in this deal. They make the money off of you. High time to play hardball.
108. same as the others
femmelegante ,   ratherbe, elsewhere   (03.24.11)
All such political manoeuvres shall be ultimately wasted effort. Attempts to eradicate Israel will always be futile. So there.
109. What have you been reading?
spectator ,   Thailand   (03.24.11)
No Minister accused Israel of that as far as I am aware. The governor of South Sinai was asked to comment on a conspiracy theory forwarded just before - and said that it would take time to rule out, not an unfair comment - and not an accusation. Please dig deeper if you are going to consider yourself informed.
110. ISRAEL WIPED OFF THE MAP
IVORY ,   COLUMBUS , USA   (03.24.11)
WELL U NEED TO GET A NEW MAP. ISRAEL HAS BEEN A STATE SINCE 1948. TRY AS U WILL, THE MUSLIM NATIONS WILL TRY TO ANNILATE ISRAEL.WE KNOW THIS AS OUR BIBLE SAYS IT. JUST BECAUSE U TAKE IT OFF THE MAP DOESN'T MEAN A THING EXCEPT U HAVE AN INACCURATE MAP. I AM NOT WORRIED ISRAEL IS STILL ON GODS MAP....WHILE U ARE AT IT WHY NOT TAKE THE USA OFF OF YOUR MAP TOO AND DON'T BOTHER FLYING HERE. WE DON'T NEED YOUR BUSINESS NOR YOUR POLITICAL IDEOLOGY THAT MASQURADES AS A RELIGION. NOR YOUR AIRLINE... I'D BE TOO CAUTIOUS TO FLY ON IT ANYWAYS. I'LL MAKE SURE I WIPE EGYPT OFF MY MAP HERE AT HOME...I SURE WANT MY KIDS TO KNOW THE TRUTH.....SINCE EGYPT AIR WRITES OFF ISRAEL... THEN WE WILL WRITE OFF EGYPT. REMEMBER... THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PALISTINE JUST ISRAEL FROM THE EUPHRATES TO EGYPT.... I FOR ONE WILL BE GLAD WHEN THE ORIGINAL BORDERS ARE REDRAWN BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. HAVE A NICE DAY
111. Where is Egypt???
Ben ,   NY USA   (03.24.11)
Eli - excellent - I would go one step further - I would say that since I am in a country that they do not recognize then I cannot find Egypt on the map either - better tour Cyprus or the Czech Republic, countries that know where Israel is located.
112. Gog u magog
Miryam ,   Pella, IA, USA   (03.24.11)
Three words: gog u magog!
113. #20-So this is the result of your little uprising
David ,   USA   (03.24.11)
Is it just me or does it seem like every time an arab country holds a Democratic Election, or forms a new government, it is always taken over by extremists. I have thought for years that islam is a religion of hate but constantly looked for a reason to think otherwise. I held these views prior to 9/11. However I have also now started to see why the countries with dictators in that region are always the most stable, Narrow minded, uneducated people need a fist to rule as they can not make sound decisions on their own. Come to think of it...looking at world history, was there ever a positive outcome of an islamist infection into a given society?
114. #32-That isn't the same thing and you know it
David ,   USA   (03.24.11)
First of all, Gaza was given back to the PA from Israel. So now you and yours have a great terrorist launching point. But I digress. Including a piece of land in a given territorial map and completely omitting it are two totally different things. And yes, by all means, lets all change our maps to coincide with car insurance companies!
115. Israel show your map!
mapboy ,   us   (03.24.11)
Perhaps Israel could show the world where their land ends and foreign land begins? That would put the whole world on notice that any "settlers" that aren't in israel are actually thieves trying to steal foreign land.
116. we dont care about ur money
Ahmed ,   Cairo,Egypt   (03.24.11)
our dependance on you was only bec. of the corrupt regime and this is what we think of u we acknowledge that there is an entity called israel but not a country or a destination for that matter and for those saying its a head in the sand move i say its actually a very bold move on our part one we havent done in 30 years!!
117. #82 is correct.
Carroll ,   Lafayette, LA, USA   (03.24.11)
And future Israel will include greater landmass than is currently wihin her boundaries. The land additions will be from presently Islamic states. This future Israel will fulfill the Abrahamic covenent.
118. "We never flew there"
Rami ,   Dallas USA   (03.24.11)
I just got off the phone with Egypt Air and apparently their excuse is "only our subsidy Air Sinai flies there and you have to have a paper ticket" what a load of BS.
119. #117, that is a lie
Rami ,   Dallas, USA   (03.24.11)
#117, you are talking about the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a proven false anti-semitic text that is repeatedly touted whenever some Middle Eastern country wants to justify hatred of Israel.
120. Egypt Air eliminates Israel
Grant Thomas ,   Brookfield, WI, USA   (03.24.11)
The Arabs and the other Muslims are all crazy bastards. I don't understand why the West doesn't recognize them for what they are and stop doing business with them, and we shouldn't have any relations with them. In the U.S. we have so much oil that we don't go for due to the environmental nuts. Send them to a Muslim country if they don't like it here!
