GOD BLESS ALL ..PEOPLE WHO SEEK PC HATE WAT HATE CONFRONTATION.
32. Now there's a surprise
Harvey ,   London   (09.10.11)
So much for the Arab spring . It was always an illusion . At least with Mubarak and the other dictators , you had relative peace and stability . You have to understand that the Arab revolution was never going to lead to democracy . That word is totally alien to the Arab world . There is no such thing . Chances are Libya will turn into another Sudan when the dust settles and Egypt will end up under the MB . Treaties signed 30 years ago will be torn up within 18 months . The mob will rule the street and there will be further coups . We were lucky to get 30 years relative calm . To sum up , the Arab spring can be viewed thus . The only consideration is how it impacts on Israel . At this moment it's looking decidedly bleak . What it does for the Arabs is of no interest .
33. What More Is There Left To Say?
Burton S. ,   Yarrow, u.k.   (09.10.11)
They need to spay their animals, too many hungry mouths to feed, 80 MILLION+ egyptians. This is a dereliction of duty and an abrogation of the peace treaty. Is Israel too proud to ask the U.S. for help here? Freeze the BILLION$ of dollar$ obama expects to send to egypt this year and every year to come. Help Israel build a buffer zone along the border with sinai, if not enter the sinai itself to get rid of al qaeda there.

seadog1946 ,   Arthur Kill, NJ   (09.10.11)
asked the American officials to help defend the Israeli Embassy against the protestors. " The USMC embassy guards in Egypyt are now supposed to protect the Israeli embassy? WhereTF is the vaunted IDF?!?
36. Proud to be Egyptian
Ahmed Eldweik ,   Cairo - Egypt   (09.10.11)

37. please try to take Sinai
Ahmed Eldweik ,   Cairo - Egypt   (09.10.11)
Dear Richard, I beg you, try to take the Sinai back as you are saying, try to show everybody who you really are. yeas papa Richard you are going down, this is the truth while you accept it or not. and you know what, yesterday the concrete of your Embassy's walls been EATEN by Egyptian youth, tomorrow you will be eaten and destroyed. Sir, calm down, don't you know that few days ago your Army killed 4 Egyptian solders on the borders? don't you know that everyday your government kills people in Gaza? don't you know that your regime teach the Israeli young children a fake history that this land is Jewish and that it belongs to Israel thousands years ago!! don't you know that Arabs , which you hate, have always live with your grandfathers and mothers in peace along all the Arabian countries, and only because of your generation of Jewish (the 60s) which had planted hate inside Jewish's hearts against Arabs, only because of you we would all live in peace until now!!
38. EGYPTIANS THUGS... there were demonstrations outside the
Daren ,   Israel   (09.10.11)
israeli embassy since the "egyptian spring" began. the reporters in egypt worked very hard to hide these protests in order to draw egyptians as heroes and good people. I'm not suprised...
39. Embassy riot
Zaneco ,   Kampala   (09.10.11)
To Robert Soran-Schwartz: Many conversations are interesting but the weight of History and deep anti-jewish feelings are more important to understand. It is the Muslim activism and fundamentalism who is responsible. Not only in Egypt ... Violence is part of the ideology. Just consider how 400.000 people opposed to government acted last week all over Israel in a protest against government. No Public destruction, no injured, ... Israel is a real democracy and Arab israeli, muslims and christians, enjoy it. They face the same judiciary system that the previous President of the State of Israel condemned by a court presided by an Arab israeli judge....
40. PEACE WILL STILL PREVAIL

41. Thugs are the likes of
hossam ,   suez. egypt   (09.10.11)
They are thugs and cowards like you, the honest are they aware of the enemies by dropping from the skies over Cairo
42. Anarchy!
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (09.10.11)
I am not a fan of big government, and particularly the big brother culture that some countries embrace. But, "Arab Spring" seems to have produced little more than anarchy. Egypt's 80 million person population has gained little, if anything, in its' struggle for democracy. Egypt is in no way alone, joining such infamous ranks as Lebanon, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and other nations where organized government has lost control, credibility and responsibility. To be sure, the poison hands of Iran and Syria are likely to be involved, having seized the opportunity. Eventually, you have to blame the the government leaders, for being so inept, so ineffectual, and so corrupt, as to squander any opportunity to deliver effective leadership. From within this vacuum, the seeds of anarchy have blossomed. If this has taught us anything, then the same lessons, the same risks, and the same outcomes need to be applied to a potential Palestinian state. Nothing is better proof than the forced takeover of Gaza by Hamas. The leadership vacuum, resulted in seizure by a barbaric terrorist group. The best posture for our Israeli leaders? It doesn't exist. Left or right, hawks or doves, will never be an effective tool against this kind of anarchy. The answer is, has been, and will be Arab and Muslim responsibility. In the face of constant extreme Arab and Muslim violence, that vacuum of responsible leadership exists as an absolute.
43. #6 - well said.
seadog1946 ,   Arthur Kill, NJ   (09.10.11)
44. finally
Redouan van Diessen ,   Amsterdam, Holland   (09.10.11)

45. My total support to Israel
Charo ,   Spain   (09.10.11)
I want to express my absolute rejection of the deplorable acts that have occurred in Israel's embassy in Cairo and my love and support to Israel.
46. That is the direct result of Hussein Obamas
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.10.11)
most infamous Cairo speech...!
47. TAKE BACK THE SINAI...............................
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.10.11)
Camp David was a lie and everybody knew it !
48. The friends of Mr. Abbas in action...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.10.11)
49. what do you
gdfathermax ,   tel aviv israel   (09.10.11)
expect from the mob in the arab world. Soon the muslim brothers will take over egypt. Within 5 years there will be war with Israel. The next war will involve all the previous players and Iran and maybe Turkey. Israel with 500 nukes and the most advanced anti missle system in the world will destroy Egypt, Iran, Lebanon and Syria. End of story and game over.
50. wwwoohh...'lieberman tells them", "lieberman only one with
eporue ,   europe   (09.10.11)
guts"... so, vote your lieberman for PM and you can pack your suitcases... what an idiot... his subzero rants yesterday brought the barrel to explode... after killing the polic eofficers and all the violence in the westbank committed by settlers... vote lieberman... LOL !
51. oh, and bibi thanked obama...

eporue ,   europe   (09.10.11)

LIEBERMAN FOR PM... aaaaahahhahahaaa aaahahahahahaha...
53. The west and Israel lost their rationalism
Hanan   (09.10.11)
It looks like the rational western world including us (Israel) lost the rational sense and wisdom. We are just trying to delay the clash with the Muslims who are trying to exterminate us. Thier agenda is based on their religious hatred against Jews and Christians.They will tell you that they don't hate Jews and Christians' but it is stated clearly in their holy book - the Quran. This is how they pay back the west for the freedom and use that freedom to exterminate the non Muslims. We don't need to look too far away, just see what happens around us, Egypt, Turkey, Syria - the Arab Spring at its best. Time of the war blaze is approaching and nothing can stop that. Sooner or later we'll face a bloody war. People will pay a high toll. Hopefuly, I beleieve the west will defeat the radical Islam to ground so a better place to live on earth can be established. Currently we are living in the dark era of Islam around us.
54. Destruction
Sagi   (09.10.11)
is the most prolific word in Arabic. Construction does not even exist.
55. To #3 Fad - it's not your fault
John ,   Alaska   (09.10.11)

56. To all our Egyptian friends...

Precious friends and well-wishers like yourselves are extremely rare and very very much valued...Let us know how we can help you if the need arises. Be well friends!
57. #46
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (09.10.11)
No, existence of Israel and following story are result of Germans' nationalism.
58. ONE WORD FOR THEM: ANIMALS
