1. Anwar Sadat was a coward
Egyptian   (03.11.11)
Jerusalem will not forgive him for turning away and hand it to the stinky who come from all over the world to cry behind a wall
2. Sadat was a great man
Nagy ,   Egypt   (03.11.11)
Sadat was a great man and most Egyptians respect his legacy. And by the way he didn't turn anything to anybody. Jerusalem was lost during 1967 war and Sadat was not even a president at the time.
3. #1
Eyal ,   USA   (03.11.11)
Sadat was the only President in the Middle East who had balls dude. He did what no Arab leader is doing today, that's why he was killed.
4. This is the dawn of the "new" Egypt...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.11.11)
5. #1 Respect?
Logic ,   Israel   (03.11.11)
Putting your antisemitic statement aside, I'm amazed that you don't even respect your own military leader who dedicated his life to your country and fought in wars.
6. Better
Fert Il Izer ,   egy   (03.11.11)
Get the begging bowls out and head to Washington for the 20n$.Oof course you could have used that 30 years of peace with Egypt to build a peace with the Palestinians and Syrians but no the settlers took priority. Israel has a bleak future to look forward to. Trouble is so has the rest of the world
7. Anwar Sadat was coward to no 1
JUDAH THE LION   (03.11.11)
You are 100% wrong.Anwar Sadat was a very clever and wise man,not like President the late GAMAL ABDUL NASSER WITH BIG MOUTH AND NO TEETH.The late ANWAR SADAT knew that they cannot get any land from Israel if EGYPT goes war with Israel,and there and there is possibility Egypt will loss more land,so the best thing to do is to make PEACE WITH ISRAEL,and he will get all the land that ISRAEL HAVE CAPTURED DURING THE SIX DAYS WAR,without shooting a bullet. Now which better to open war with Israel and to loos more land or to make PEACE and you will get all the lands. WISH MORE ARAB/MUSLIMS PRESIDENTS LIKE ANWAR SADAT.
8. Yaani - who will emerge from Egypt, #s 1 or 2?
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (03.11.11)
Will the ignorant rabid masses end up dictating Egyptian policy again? If so, look for another war and tens of thousands of Egyptian "martyrs", and another Israeli military victory. Egypt will remain a backwards, flea-bitten country that stomps on its middle class and suppresses freedom and progress. If the #2s dominate Egypt, then maybe the Egyptian illiteracy and poverty rates will go down, and their per capita income will go up.
9. Nagy Egypt no 2
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (03.11.11)
Agreed with Nagy ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.BRAVO The Egyptian no 1 who says Anwar Sadat was a coward,is stupid and coward.
10. 8 posts already and no.........
Robert ,   Brisbane Australia   (03.11.11)
8 posts already and no anti-British vitriol, how come? Usually, even if the item does not refer to Britain the Ynut talkbackers find an opportunity to vent their spleen against Britain..
11. Anwar Sadat failed miserably and he
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.11.11)
only succeeded, because the Sinai was served to him by the Americans on a silver plate...
12. #1, Mr. "Egyptian", what's your take on
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.11.11)
the Lara Logan story...??? Was that the way you guys treat educated women..................................... OR WHAT...?????
13. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out..
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (03.11.11)
that Egypt will sooner or later succeed into provoking Israel into forcing them to once again forfeit the Sinai Peninsula.
14. To: No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.11.11)
That said, you are crazy. Nasser got you into one disastrous war; Sadat presided over the war that saw Israel cross the Suez and take possession of the West Bank of the Suez Canal. (You know; the war that you see as a victory, despite all evidence to the contrary.) Sadat was smart enough to realize that Egypt was going to go nowhere under the sponsorship of the Soviet Union; he also realized that the road to Washington D.C. ran through Jerusalem. He did more for your country than anyone ever has by signing a peace treaty with Israel. And Israel benefited, too -- we culled Egypt out of the herd, and there could never be a concerted Arab effort against Israel that did not include Egypt. Of course, we do realize that in all likelihood, we'll have to take the Sinai back, but that's okay. We will. Finally -- "Stinky?" Evidently you do not come from Cairo. No stinkier city on the face of the earth.
15. #1 Soon they will be rejoicing from atop that wall.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (03.11.11)
16. To: Noodles at No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.11.11)
Agreed. This time, it's coming back for good.
17. #10 Robert - Brisbane
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.11.11)
You must have a guilty conscience in realizing that Britain managed to screw up almost every country she was involved in, that's why her departures were never mourned Indian, Pakistan, Palestine are just a mere few, Oh yes, America was more than eager to get rid of the Brits, therefore the American Revolution resulted and the end of British Rule Since you insist on meddling in the Middle East, why not first set your priorities to the pathetic circumstances you have subjected your very own Aborigines to ? http://www.ricenpeas.com/docs/apartheidlaws.html Surely, you remember our discussion regarding American aid to your country, next time you answer, try doing it with facts, not fiction "Lend Lease" ever hear of that, materials sent from the U.S.A. to help sustain your War Effort http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participants_in_World_War_II One more thing, I was stationed in Beersheba, while there I also visited the Australian Military Cemetery from World War One, they were valiant soldiers
18. RETURNING TO THE SUBJECT....
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (03.11.11)
By my reckoning,adding 20 years to 1984 brings us to 2004,the year that their sentences were completed.It's now 2011 and this pair have been arbitrarily detained for nearly 7 years.That seems to be the context. Putting aside their crimes,the sentence was served and they have a right to expect to be released. Let's look at this in a positive light.It could be an indication that future Egyptian governments won't inflict arbitrary law and justice on Egyptians,unlike the previous regime. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
19. He Was A Brave Man 2nd try
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (03.11.11)
His own people killed him for it. He was smart enough to separate Egypt from the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Since there should be no connection anyway. As we know the Arabs are just Arabs and the Palestinians are simply a myth, invented in the 60's for purely political reasons. As we see HERE: http://www.faithfreedom.org/features/debates/a-debate-with-a-palestinian-over-israel/5/ Ali Sina debates Arabs/Pals on a regular basis, the above was the answer to this question posed by a Pal. He asked: "Do you have the courage to criticize Israel ? The moral state of Israel, you will be accused of being anti-Semite and you may be prosecuted in a court of law or got fired from your job." Often the Pals lie and give out disinformation, like the question above. The question itself is based on lies.
20. 16and 13 what a joke
frank ,   usa   (03.11.11)
small bands of Arab guerillas in southern Lebanon defeated israel.you still live in 50s,60s,70,and 80s
21. Rob @ 10, feel neglected? Feel unimportant?
leo ,   usa   (03.11.11)
22. THAT TELLS US EVERYTHING WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE CHANGE.
stude ham   (03.11.11)
the egyptian idiots have opted for the most backward step possible in their history. and israel must beware of these dogs... who have revived the nasserism. what a setback for the world.
23. #1 We Jews pray standing upright
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (03.11.11)
We stand before our God, the God of Israel, because He respects us, His Chosen People. Your god makes you kneel on the dirty ground like animals - and you behaved like animals when hundreds of you gang-raped and tortured the (non-Jewish) journalist Lara Logan in Tahrir Square. Going into Christian neighborhoods, killing innocent people (your own neighbors) and burning their churches is also the behavior of animals, not men. All you Arabs know how to do is hate, kill and destroy. You invented the zero - and zero is all you have accomplished. And Egyptian, you have NO claim to Jerusalem - which is not mentioned even ONCE in your Quran.
24. Murderers free, cement for Gaza, Iran in Suez
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (03.11.11)
We certainly are witnessing the birth of the "New Egypt." Sadat's murderers are free, they no longer sell gas to Israel, they allow Iranian warships through the Suez Canal and are now permitting cement deliveries into Gaza so Hamas can build tunnels and bunkers to hide their missiles. The new government took no time to bring back from exile Muslim clerics who are preaching going to war against Israel. And they are broadcasting on television children's programs that are brainwashing kids into hating Jews (thanks again, Obama!).
25. #8 like the israel victory against hezbollah in 2006? LOL
deutronomy 28 ,   world   (03.11.11)
26. #14 Sarah
deutronomy 28 ,   world   (03.11.11)
taking sinai? lol how about you losing Galilee thats more like it hehehehehehe
27. to frank, usa (#20) what are you?
elzeide ,   Argentina   (03.11.11)
frank, usa: in what kind of bubble do you live ? Or did you take some kind of medicine that altered your mind? israel defeated 5 arab armies in 1948,, +3 arab armies in 1967, again in 1973. Finnaly you are quite wrong about the Libano wars: sheik nasrallah live in hidden? And you say he is the winner? It's very clear your mental capacity.
28. To deuteronomy 28
elzeide ,   Argentina   (03.11.11)
you are quite wrong about the Libano wars: sheikh nasrallah live hidden in a bunker, and you say he is the winner? It's very clear your mental capacity. Sorry but Israel and the truth will prevail. And you and your friends will not.
29. #19: a must see POST
The Truthsayer   (03.11.11)
Read and see the video's and pictures from that link on post #19, unbelievable Proof of Palestinian lies and heinous acts of terror. A MUST SEE!!!
30. To: No. 20
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.11.11)
You are seriously deluded. Israel conducted a very limited and careful operation designed to keep collateral damage to a minimum. We mobilized only 5% of our forces. Of course, Israel could have conducted the type of bombing operations that NATO has been conducting in Afghanistan and Iraq, which have killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians. Is that your preference? You are in dire need of a reality check. Israel could crush Lebanon in several hours. Do you think that Israel is the United States? Do you remember what happened to the full faith and credit of the United States Armed Forces in Somalia? A handful of barefoot warlords using vintage World War II Garand rifles and some rusty RPG launchers made the U.S. turn tail and run like a bunch of striped-ass baboons. The only "victories" that the United States can claim since World War II are Grenada and Panama. (Worthy opponents, I must say!) You need to shut your mouth and open up your eyes and mind, Frankie boy!
