1. The funny thing about this article
Henry from New York ,   USA   (11.20.11)
Is that it says the military took over from Mubarak. They have always been in control, Mubarak was just the face of the government really and he only ruled with their blessing.
2. Arab Spring?
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (11.20.11)
More like Arab fall. The Arab tiger has been released and it is roaming the jungle looking for prey. It's hungry and wants to eat. It seeks food, and blood.
3. Are these assholes fit for democracy ?
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.20.11)
NOT now and maybe NEVER !!!
4. Allahu Akbar or freedom?....
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (11.20.11)
Which way is it? Do you Egyptians want a theocracy or a democracy?
5. Middle east
anton ,   istanbul turkey   (11.20.11)
has always been troubled region with some little wars in recent history, whats happening now is way too much dangerous for israel its easy to read this for me, but i dont think everyone can see it :) israel needs to prepare itself for the big war thats will arrive soon which i think will be the end to a era also Mark my words ;)
6. It's finally dawned on the protesters....
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (11.20.11)
...that they were TRICKED. All the delays had nothing to do with establishing democracy in an orderly way.it was simply the Egyptian reactionaries and the evil Arab supremacist League buying time to prevent democracy and impose a new tyranny. And,I dare say,as time goes on,we'll find the same thing in Tunisia and Libya. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
7. PRESENT SITUATION IN THE ISLAMIC WORLD.
SJOERD RUURD VDV ,   MULTIVERSE   (11.20.11)
WHOEVER WANTS TO BELIEVE THE ISLAMIC RELIGION, IT IS HER/HIS OWN BUSINESS. AND LET OTHER PEOPLE BE FREE IN THAT CASE FOR INSTANCE TO REALISE A MULTIPARTY, PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTIONAL COUNTRY/STATE/COMMUNITY/SOCIETY WITH ONE PERSON, ONE VOTE, SECRET AND FREE.
8. To #5 Anton
Rachel ,   US   (11.20.11)
Israel will be fine, but thanks for your concern.
9. Anton.You worry too much about Israel.Better worry Turkey
Alan ,   SA   (11.20.11)
10. #4Mark...What's wanting got to do with it?
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (11.20.11)
Whether the Egyptians want theocracy or democracy,they'll still get the tyranny that the elite reactionaries will impose on them. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
11. Allahu Akbar is to raze obstacles
observer ,   Egypt   (11.20.11)
when they destroyed the Bar Lev line, they shouted Allahu Akbar. They are about to destroy obstacles blocking the way to Democracy.
12. Military is in control -FOREVER- they have the guns, not
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.20.11)
going to give up the power. They saw what happened to mubarak when he gave up the power and they are not going to let that happen to them. Game over folks, the military will let the muslum brotherhood do what the military knows they can allow without losing power and NO more.
13. #11 Bar Lev line?
Igor ,   Israel, T"A   (11.20.11)
So do they remember how did finished all this Allahu Akbar in 1973 too? It will be the same with democracy. Maybe they must try to shout something new. Or maybe they just need to stop shouting and to return to work.
14. Re: #11 Observer
HaifaGuy   (11.20.11)
Observer, in case you haven't noticed, and don't let me interrupt your romantic Arab moment, "they" seem to be shouting Allahu Akbar at almost every occasion, including when Israeli rockets hit "them" while "they" are preparing to launch something nasty into Israel. And this happens to "them" rather a lot, doesn't it? "They" are about to destroy the few remaining things setting your country apart from your cannibal neighbors to the south. One more question: do you - oops, "they" - shout Allahu Akbar when you drive a nail through a wall? Or when your washing machine faulters? Or when you find a particularly chunky piece of hashish at your local dealer's? Isn't mentioning God's name in vain prohibited in Islam? I mean, everything else is, why shouldn't this one be, as well? And now, a prediction: "they" (and you) will still be shouting Allahu Akbar when your sorry asses will again be kicked out of Sinai, and this time - for good. You are sooo predictable...
15. Re: Anton, the istanbul turkey
HaifaGuy   (11.20.11)
Antoshka, you keep leaving your heavy greasy garlicky Turkish farts all over this thread! Get a life, get a wife, get a butt plug, you cockgobbler.
16. I'm not sure these people understand the meaning of Allahu
Jacob ,   Holon   (11.21.11)
Akbar. and I'm waiting for them to just blame Israel for all of it. You know it's coming.
17. I wonder if Mubarak was this brutal?
Vlad   (11.21.11)
He never DARED try to uproot the protesters from Tahrir Square.
18. Anton you are correct but u forgot 1 thing
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (11.21.11)
Israel is a western civilization located in the ME. Israelis are aware and always planning and preparing fir the worst. There is no 100% security but over milleniums they survived and I have confidence that they will continue to survive.
19. Assad's behind it .Arab league to the rescue. .
Roland Seener ,   L0ondon England   (11.21.11)
20. Did our Ambassador make himself at home yet?(new home)
tom ,   tel aviv   (11.21.11)
21. G-d has got Israel's back! We shall not fear!
Rachel ,   Jerusalem   (11.21.11)
22. #15
Henry from New York ,   USA   (11.21.11)
I think that reply may have done more harm to you than him.
23. egypt ♥ middle east.. ♥ all Arab... ♥ turkey.. ♥ israel
Amr ,   Cairo, Egypt   (11.21.11)
i wish peace to egypt and all people :)
24. Freakin'
Jake Stone ,   USA   (11.21.11)
25. But, but, but,......
cj ,   Paris France   (11.21.11)
we were told over and over again that they wanted democracy. Polititians and journalists were telling us we were witnessing the birth of a democratic arab world. Not claiming to know much about the arab in their own countries, I could tell that the people protesting in the spring were what in Europe we call the bearded ones.In plain launguage the extremists. But still journalists and polititians were calling them the democratic loving peaceful protestors. My arabic is non existant but I am dam,n sure" ALLAH IS BACKWARD " does not translate as"DEMOCRACY IS COMING".
26. "Allahu Akbar" all the way to Hell...!
Taz Man ,   USA   (11.21.11)
27. 8, 9, 15 and david

28. #27
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (11.22.11)
Your last sentence is strange. You did not put your name in your post am assuming t is Nostradamus...!! I can not tell you for sure what will happen in the future but I can assure you that Israel and Jews all around the world are not sleeping. They are working hard in planning and preparing for all future threats. As I said t before there is no 100% security but Israel will be prepared to all threats. And if your assumption becomes true then shame on humanity for letting one nation to be destroyed.
29. # 28 shame on humanity
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (11.22.11)
David ! Humanity has no shame,Humanity allowed the Turks to kill a Million and a half Armenians,because they belonged to the wrong religion,humanity allowed the germans to exterminate the Jews of Europe,also for the reason of belonging to the wrong religion,individuals and nations should rely only on themselves,im ein ani li mi li ?.(if i am not for myself who is for me)
