Abdel ,   nablus   (11.01.06)
You are correct, this used to be better site, but is has been hijaked by a couple of hate infested individuals, not to mention some crusaders who have never heard about jesus turning the other cheek!!! they always repeat the same slogans, and the would love to see as all engage in armagedon ...i salute you becasue i read your opinions always, and i do respect what you say, never loose faith!
32. Let's get one thing straight!
Khaled Elabd ,   Toronto canada   (11.01.06)
Okay first of all Isreal did not "give" Egypt the sinai back! if you actually read history books it states that egypt captured the sinai back on the 6th of october 1973 and troops were moving closer and closer to Isreal. Now obviously little old America fears for it's beloved Israel so they got involved and signed a peace treaty to end the war. To prove it Egypt has a city dedicated to that day called 6th of october city and a bridge running through cairo also by that name.....read books people....TV and jewish CNN isn't the real deal
33. We Hate Occupition
Moomen Sallam ,   Alexandria, Egypt   (11.01.06)
As an Egyptian, Arab & Muslim i have to tell u ppl that we don't hate Jews & stop this Paranoia u have to make ppl feel pitty for you. we don't have any problem with any religion or country. Our problems are with those who still our land, kill our childrens & rape our women. Our problem is with occupiton. Just go back from where you came from & you'll be our friends & we'll receive you in the old Synagogue in Alexandria.
34. Good thing that Egypt is a dictatorship
Ilan ,   Ariel   (11.01.06)
Protects us from the people there....
35. Eqyptian Opinion of the United States Citizens
Sarah ,   Manteo, USA   (11.01.06)
My mother raised me with the wise,kind and compassionate teaching that if you consider someone's money your friend then you must also consider the giver your friend. US citizens through our tax dollars have given billions to the Eqyptians and this is the thanks that we get? I am heartbroken. She also raised me to love,respect and honor everyone including the Eqyptians.
36. Be fair with us, we will respect you.
Ahmed ,   Egypt   (11.01.06)
All what i want to say, that y don't you ask yourself the root reason for that hatered?..for me...and for many many other fellow egyptians..if israil stops murdering, jailing, torturing the palestenians we will surely reconsider! if you want to be fair, go to any islamic site which is talking about prophet Mohammed history, you will find him so peaceful with the jews in particular when he was in the madina...our religion orders us not to harm and to be completely fair and to be very good with jews and christians who are not offending us, and if any one harms them..he is commiting a big sin, that is what we are really....be fair to us...we will certainly respect you...but unfortuantely...what all arab world is seeing now..is that you are treating palastenians with no mercy
37. 92%Egyptians are still ignorant and 100% Fadi
jerome ,   basalt, co   (11.01.06)
Both Abdul and Fadi mention the Koran and Islam is the problem by teaching that Jews are the enemy. The teachings of this jealous and hateful so called religious book teach hate and murderous jihad. Islam listens to thier false prophet instead of the voice of reason and sanity. The reason Abdul says you hate Israel is because of it's actions. He doesn't mention that the true actions are self defense from the Arabs starting wars, murder, and suicide bombers. Other actions like advances in medicine, technologies, and much more. The Arabs also blame the Pali issue. To fix this there has to be a rational and real partner to live in peace. The Pali's have more than proven this is not the case. Islam has to stop blaming the Jews and the rest of the sane world on there many short comings and insecurities.
38. number 10
mark   (11.01.06)
thats the problem with israel,all they think of is expanding and expanding at the expense of women and children,until this ideology of expanding is changed israel will never be at peace.
39. Not a surprise !.
tivo   (11.01.06)
Everybody hate israelis, the poll's results should not come as a surprise.
40. Khaled Elabd ,Toronto Canada #32
Steve G ,   Kew Gardens,NYC   (11.01.06)
Wow, according to this guy, the Egyptians was winning the Yom Kippur War until the Americans stopped them. I hope this clears up any doubts you may have about the source of these problems. Complete faith in total fantasy.
41. #39....you're an idiot!
DR ,   Florida, USA   (11.01.06)
What a dumb thing to say. If everyone "hate Israelis" (nice English moron), then how come Israel has a prospering economy, has open trade with many countries and has tourists come from all over the world? People like you must be so ignorant to spew such nonsense.
42. #32...typical Arab nonsense...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (11.01.06)
So just because your leaders said they won and built a bridge and a city after a day, that means its true? Arab leaders have been famous for lying to their people about false victories (look at Hezballah). Egypt is no different. they were celebrating a victory while their armies were being crushed by Israel. great job!!!
43. Abdel and Herr Steiner: what a combo
Ilan ,   Ariel   (11.01.06)
It is the same idea of those rocket scientists that helped Nasser, except that in that case the protagonists were smarter than camels not less.
44. #24 Adam, and the Israeli myth
BouSameer ,   Beirut lebanon   (11.01.06)
I keep hearing israelis criticizing Palestinians for running away from their homeland in 48/49. Quite frankly I have yet to find a honest israeli who can explain to me how the Zionist State could have existed had the Palestinians not left their land, and had the Arab Jews not been expelled from their home. The 1949 UN resolution resulted in a Jewish State that is 50% palestinian. Had the ratio remained as is, Arabs could have theoritically outvoted Jews.( And despite Jewish immigration to Israel, you have to consider difference in birth rate.)
45. it is a shame
fady egypt   (11.01.06)
it is a shame that my people are full of this great hatred to the best state in the middle east israel and the us iam really sorry for this but what can i say that we dont deserve the peace that sadat called for it before but thank god that our people aren t the lawmakers because i don t want war with the land of juda and jerusalem god bless israel us and denmark and all peace makers
46. Egyptians SHOULD Feel Shamefull.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (11.01.06)
During the Six Day War of 1967 Israel conquered the whole of the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt. In September 1979 - as the result of the Camp David Accord of March 1979 - Israel GAVE back the whole of the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt. AND this is how 92% of the Egyptians treat Israel - as an enemy? AFTER giving the whole of the Sinai Peninsula - this is how 92% of the Egyptians treat Israel ?! Those 92% of the Egyptians SHOULD feel shamefull of behaving like this ! Of behaving like thankless rascals !
47. To Margot #25. Tourists Should NOT Visit Egypt Anymore.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (11.01.06)
You write :".. a warning to us all to avoid Egypt, ..". YES. Good point you have made. NO tourists should go to Egypt anymore - till Egyptian's mentality have improved.
48. #17
Rustum ,   London, UK   (11.01.06)
Try reading the comment by #33. If you want to revel in the fantasy that Arabs are genetically anti-Jewish, sobeit - that's your fantasy. If you choose to ignore political and historical facts, sobeit - you are welcome to wallow in historical ignorance. If you want to pretend that there is no political problem - then you really are living in Liebermanistan. Nasty world - full of people who hate Israelis for no reaso whatsoever - because whatever reasons are given for their political dislike of Israel, you and yuor friends distil it down to simple anti-Jewish sentiment. Utterly pathetic - but it probably helps you out of a situation which might demand a little brain power to figure out.
49. #37 wilfully insulting
Rustum ,   London, UK   (11.01.06)
What possible purpose would you have for referring to the Qoran as "so-called religious book" and to "the false prophet". Comments such as yours are every bit as odious, as laden with race-hate and contempt as the discredited Protocols. All you manage to do is mouth classic Russian anti-Semitic claptrap in which you have changed a few words. Your knowledge if Islam is absolutely nil - and yet you pretend to write balanced remarks. Risible and at the same time rather sad and pathetic.
50. #35 and US money
Rustum ,   London, UK   (11.01.06)
What your mother neglected to mention is that the US gives many times more funds to Israel than to the Egyptians. This has not stopped the Israeli government treating the US administration as its enemy when their politics diverge slightly. So why should the Egyptian population, who are not the direct beneficiaries of US aid, take this into account, especially when they see the direct results of American aid to Israeli (i.e. sulphour and cluster bombs, etc, etc, etc) being dropped on the poor Lebanese and Palestinians with no end in sight?
51. 99.9%
Egyptain   (11.01.06)
I think if we conduct the same poll in Israel we will have the same result and may be higher 99.9%. Anyway I think the poll is not accurate. Not Because Israel or US but because what so called friends of Egypt Saudi Arabia, and Libya. If these countries are our friends we don’t need enemies. Most of the Egyptians care only about life.
52. x29
enzo ,   london,uk   (11.01.06)
First of all I disagree with you that the whole world "hate" Israel! I actually believe that the majority of people in the world love Israel. And I don't live in a little village! I can assure you that where I live (a city of more or less 8 million people) the great majority of people stands by Israel and loves Israel. As far as your "wonder" is concerned, I believe that those few who hate Israel do so because of sheer ignorance or lack of "faith".
53. If We Are Enemies, No More Trade With Egypt
emanon ,   USA   (11.01.06)
I really can't think of anything from Egypt that is not doemstically available in either US or Israel. I don't believe not exporting to Egypt would hurt either country, although Egypt would probably feel the economic pinch more.
54. Notice Rustum didn't respond to #11
Jenny ,   USA   (11.01.06)
Rustum-You are the biggest hypocrite on earth. Go away, we do not care for your one-sided preaching. "The Israeli gov't treats the US administration as the enemy?" Are you from the US, do you know what you are talking about? We love Israel here no matter how much propaganda you spew. Get a clue.
55. #37 the truth hurts
jerome ,   basalt, co   (11.01.06)
First of all you say my knowlege of Islam is nil. I have read the Quran! This is where my knowledge of your religion(sarcasim) of peace came from. You are a hypocrite through and through the way you useslanderous lying ignorant words agaisnt Jews and Israel and then act rightious and preturbed if someone does that same to your pathetic opinions. Go to the London gay bar you you frequent and get some attention for your self!
56. 42 DR, Arab's false victories
BouSameer ,   Beirut Lebanon   (11.01.06)
It seems that Israel is picking bad habits from Arab leaders, who lie about false victories to their people. Most international experts agree that israel did not win the last war on Lebanon, yet some leaders like Halutz and Olmet try to convince otherwise. A victory is not measured by the number of dead or destruction inflicted to the enemy. It's about attaining your objectives.
57. 46 Maasing - What planet are you from??
Marhaba ,   Beirut   (11.01.06)
**AFTER giving the whole of the Sinai Peninsula - this is how 92% of the Egyptians treat Israel ?! ** Have you ever witnessed how Arabs are treated as subhumans by Israel? As if by returning a land to Egypt, Egyptians should now find Israelis as fellow friends, despite the horrific treatment of Arabs in Israel.
58. Rustum; Jews are the indigenous people of Israel.
Daisy ,   USA   (11.01.06)
You know nothing about Israel so just shut up!
59. Arabs need America and Israel for everything.
Daisy ,   USA   (11.01.06)
WE don't need them for anything!
60. #29; The majority of the world hates Arab Muslims.
Daisy ,   USA   (11.01.06)
Another delusional Arab!
